Experimental Endocrinology

My journey to the #Thyroid meeting did not even start yet and already track block with delay. Anyone want to bet it won't be only 10 minutes in the end? Thanks for traveling with Deutsche #Bahn...

🥳 Our paper by Julia Maier et al 2025 in #Thyroid was featured in "The Year in Thyroidology"! We show that blocking #thyroid #hormone action in the "zona incerta" affects how #stress is handled, providing a possible clue for clinical symptoms of #hypothyroidism.

🎉 Congrats to @nurialopal.bsky.social for receiving the @uniluebeck.bsky.social Junior Funding for Clinical Scientist 2026! 🚀 More opportunities to unravel the actions of #thyroid #hormone in liver!

@uniluebeck.bsky.social CBBM research day! Looking forward to talks, posters, exchange, discussion and continued collaboration with friends and colleagues in our fatastic research building! #science #brain #research

Had a talk at the #dge section Neuroendocrinology meeting in Hamburg, very nice interaction and feedback on #thyroid and #thermoregulation! Thanks to all participants and @uniluebeck.bsky.social Henrik Oster for the invitation!

New issue of Deutsche Hebammen Zeitschrift (German #Midwife Journal) featuring #newborn screening and maternal #thyroid function, including my article. I hope it helps raising the awareness of thyroid in #pregnancy! @uniluebeck.bsky.social @eur-thyroid-j.bsky.social @esendocrinology.bsky.social

And my post just got R rated by Bluesky - follow me for more adult only content! 😜

My new article on impaired #thyroid hormone action in #pregnancy for the German #Midwife Magazine is out.
👇 Check my awesome original figures below - however, the DHZ didn't like fancy AI artwork, so they went with old-school midwife drawings instead...

🥳 Paper accepted in #JMolEndo @socendocrinology.bsky.social - great work by Nuria Lopez Alcantara on the role of #deiodinase I in #MASH. Stay tuned for the full version in the next 24 hours! Spoiler alert: Dio1 is not the key to fixing MASH. At least not by itself...

I was interviewed for "Coffee with a Scientist" (in German) in the framework of our @dfg.de funded SFB1665 SexDiversity. Most proud about the fact hat I managed to get my #SuperMario magnet set in the shot!

Congrats to our fantastic postdoc Nuria Lopez-Alcantara for being awarded the #ETA Basic Science grant! 🎉🍾 #thyroid

Today is the last day of #LocoTact, our @dfg.de funded TRR296 consortium. A sad day for German #thyroid research, as we produced a lot of good science in the past 5 years, contributed to many different symposia and conferences, and educated many excellent junior researchers.

Delighted to see that our @bioscientifica.bsky.social #ETJ has increased its IF to 4.3! If you have thyroid research to publish, this is the place to go! etj.bioscientifica.com
Also, Thyroid's IF is higher than Mol Met - because the #thyroid is just more important than #diabetes. Yes, I said it...

The usual reply is "AMTSSPRACHE IST DEUTSCH"....

Interestingly, when you order mouse breeding pairs from @jacksonlab.bsky.social via #CharlesRiver Deutschland, they don't guarantee that you get fertile animals. But still charge full price. Thanks for nothing...

🥳 We hit 100 followers! I guess I am now officially an minfluencer? Baby scinfluencer?
Anyway... happy to see that there is also a community for #endocrine research on @bsky.app - no regrets after the #eXit.

Let me know if you need any tips, been living their for almost 8 years.

Still need a good read about nerdy scientists for the holidays? Check out the Selection Trilogy by my close friend Tim Jagsten.

I also collected the good old ones.... but I favor the N64 with classic Mario Kart with 4 players as vintage go to game....

The most important question... real SNES or some kind of uncool emulator? 🕹️

Big fan of informing the public about iodine and thyroid, but why invite a random TV doc to "explain" the background instead of a real endocrinologist is beyond me...

🥳 Score! According to the most recent #ScholarGPS rankings, we are the most productive #thyroid hormone researchers in the past 5 years! Also Top 10 for total ranking (out of 8429). I just wish random rankings in narrow fields of expertise would immediately result in more 💰💰

And down... somewhat less impressive.

After years of hard work we finally managed to identify the ninja gene and started a colony of transgenic #ninjabunnies!
