#Science met #curiosity!✨

At the “Home game science” talk yesterday in Bad Schönborn, our PhDs Ann-Kathrin Gelmroth & Philip Matthias shared how curiosity drives their #research: from #antibioticresistance to the beauty of #microscopy. Conversations continued long after the talk💬🧪

Poster: Invitation to a lecture on Wednesday, November 12, at 7 p.m. in Bad Schönborn at Café Glashaus

Invitation to a #MaxPlanck Special edition of “Heimspiel Wissenschaft” (home game science) 🏡✨! Scientists from more rural regions return to their hometowns and make #science accessible outside of large cities and university towns. Talk in German, this Wednesday with two of our PhDs! 🧪💬

"… Goodall’s … is a story of genuine scientific curiosity, determination, and respect for nature and humanity …" H. Holden Thorp, Editor-in-chief, Science journals

Jane Goodall has died at the age of 91.

In 2020, Goodall spoke with Science Editor-in-Chief H. Holden Thorp for a #ScienceEditorial reflecting on the 60th anniversary of her arrival in Gombe to study wild chimpanzees. Read more: https://scim.ag/472Chb8

Max Planck Manatees team at the Dragon Boat Cup in Heidelberg today

🥳 Hurray, Max Planck Manatees! Our team took part in the famous Dragon Boat Cup 🐲 🚣 in Heidelberg again today and came 14th out of 30 in the fun mix category. Congratulations, you did great!💪 #dragonboatcup #mpimr #maxplanck #teamspirit #maxplanckmanatees

Well done, Team! Yesterday, 40 colleagues represented the MPI-NAT at Göttingen’s annual Altstadtlauf. We are so proud of you for taking on this challenge and braving the summer heat 💪🏅

🔥 Our fire protection officer Mario is training the team on handling unexpected fires in our facilities.These exercises cerainly match today's sizzling heat! 🌞😉 #FireSafety #StayCool #WorkplaceSafety #BehindTheScenes #MPIMR

#OnThisDay in 1993, CERN released the World Wide Web software to the public.

Proposed by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the web was originally created to allow scientists and institutes working on CERN data to share information accurately and quickly from across the globe.

New regulatory protein of the neuronal cytoskeleton identified

👉Paper out in Science Advances. In their study, researchers at our institute and @mpi-nat.bsky.social show for the first time that the protein paralemmin-1 plays a critical role as a powerful regulator in the organization of the MPS in nerve cells. Congrats to @vmacarron.bsky.social and colleagues!

Here are more impressions from this year's wonderful #GirlsDay! 📸🔬A big thank you to our young participants for their curiosity and enthusiasm!💡🌟 #MaxPlanck #MPIMR #WomenInSTEM #Science
