🌟 Take a glimpse at some behind-the-scenes moments from our recent Institute photoshoot! A huge thank you to photographer Alexander Grüber and the creative team for making it such a fun and memorable experience. 📸✨ #MPIMR #Teamwork #Photoshoot #BehindTheScenes

🔬 Welcome back to #ScienceFunFactFriday! 🎉

Ever wondered about the quirkiest science facts? We're here to share them! Dive into our team's top picks and share your own fun fact with us. Let's make science (even more) fun together! 🌟🧠 #ScienceFun #FunFact #ScienceTrivia #MaxPlanck #MPIMR

🌞🎉 We're absolutely loving the Institute's summer party! The unexpected sunshine truly made our day. 🍦☀️ Delicious ice cream in hand and great company all around - what more could we ask for? 😊 #MPIMR #BehindTheScenes #SummerFun

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

🌟Join us for our #MPIMRSpotlight series, where we shine a light on the scientists at our Institute and their exciting research! What sparks their curiosity? ✨What are they aiming to achieve? 👀Today, we're featuring @chrisheideb.bsky.social from the Optical Nanoscopy department. 🔬 Check out his work!

🔬🧠We are pleased to announce that our work on Paralemmin-1 as a powerful regulator of the neuronal submembrane cytoskeleton has been published in Science Advances @science.org! Read the full study here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
