Great news: The #LOEWE Center Frankfurt Cancer Institute @goetheuni.bsky.social will continue to receive funding from the state of Hesse! 🎉
12 mio € for two more years – a strong signal for the importance of #translational #cancer #research in Frankfurt.
Thank you Hesse and everyone involved!!

Im @loewe-fci.bsky.social arbeiten Forschende gemeinsam an translationaler #Krebsforschung. Nun wird das #FCI weiter vom Land Hessen gefördert: Wissenschaftsminister Timon Gremmels hat heute einen Förderbescheid für die Jahre 2026/27 überreicht.

There are two complementary views of scientific advance: the "heroes" view, individual geniuses driving unique one-of-a-kind advances, and the "multiple discovery" or zeitgeist view, that the time is ripe for a discovery, and the details of who makes it first, where, and how are, well, details.(1/3)

📆 For those who haven't turned the page on their calendar yet, here's a reminder.

In November, we look at a colorful piece of microscopy art by Jadranka Macas (Institute of Neurology (Edinger Institute), University Hospital Frankfurt).

Heads up: ignore samtools dot org, similarly minimap2 dot com and likely others. It's owned by a known phishing site and while the binaries they offer look valid currently (but note they may be serving us different binaries to others), that could change.

Ie: it's not us (Samtools team)! Be warned
