Opinión | "La paradoja es que Trump cree estar mostrando fuerza cuando en realidad está destruyendo el único recurso que EE UU aún tenía: la legitimidad". Por Máriam Martínez-Bascuñán

„Gewalt ist die letzte Zuflucht des Unfähigen." Isaac Asimov - 2. Januar 1920 - 6. April 1992 

¿Quiénes son las mujeres que aparecen en la foto de la Semana del Trabajo Marxista, que sentó las bases para la Escuela de Fráncfort? Eran feministas, militantes e investigadoras. Una investigación rescata por primera vez las figuras ocultas de la historia de esta institución

Way to go 2025. Thanks @sondaschule.bsky.social!

The year is almost over, and we at the Stromal Cells Hub (@instcardregffm.bsky.social @goetheuni.bsky.social) wish y'all Happy Holidays! 💃🏻🎄 Always have a pericyte in your life :) @leahvanicek.bsky.social @cbodemer.bsky.social @cpi-exstra.bsky.social @sfb1531.bsky.social

This is super cool! :) Congratulations @deniswirtz.bsky.social

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

All research is exploratory if you’re confused enough

Unpopular opinion: biologists are still the ones who understand biology best

HEMOS PINCHADO UN ENLACE POR ERROR Y NOS HEMOS ABIERTO UNA CUENTA EN BLUESKY.

The season is upon us and at the @instcardregffm.bsky.social at @goetheuni.bsky.social we have restarted our international lunches. Today, @mdeandres.bsky.social and I organised a Spanish lunch. Paella, tortillas, ensaladilla, empanadillas, torrijas, salmorejo, etc...💃🏻💃🏻 Happy Holidays y'all!

international.au.dk/about/profil... Aarhus University is looking for a director to establish and lead a centre working at the circuit level to tackle brain disorders. Please circulate if you know people who may be interested

So cool to have alumni visiting the lab 💃🏻💃🏻 Anita stopped by today from Amsterdam, where she is living her dream job. Thanks so much for the visit! @instcardregffm.bsky.social

Today is one of those days when science works and it is awesome :) 💃🏻

Don’t miss out on this opportunity- come and join us at the Oxford Organoid Hub working under the MRC-BHF REACT programme! If you love in vitro 3D models, the ❤️ and regenerative therapies, this is for you - apply by 18 Dec @oxforddpag.bsky.social @idrm.ox.ac.uk @rdm.ox.ac.uk

Completely wrong direction imo. It would be better and more efficient to increase funding rates of existing schemes funding more of the already fundable, great ideas for projects that are out there instead of yet another call with, most probably, less than 10% success rate.

Worth about 200M€ = 150 ERC StG! Not convinced this is a good move for Europe research!

A fun evening with the lab at the Frankfurt Weihnachtsmarkt. Glühwein (and Kinderpunsch), lights and laughter. We even rode the carousel! ☝🏻💃🏻🎄 #LabLife

Hoy será la mani contra la Ley de Universidades de la Comunidad de Madrid, segundo día de huelga. Ayer hubo máximo seguimiento. Necesitamos que venga mucha gente, de cualquier sector: la universidad pública no sólo es nuestra, es de todos, y necesita que la defendamos! A las 18.00 en Atocha.

I was lucky enough to inherit a bunch of racks where a graduate student had labelled all of them with Rack jokes 😂, perfect. I am dead at Racksputin.

Captain it's Wednesday

me: ok six weeks left of 2025 let's get stuff done! my brain cells:

🚀 EVBO 2026 Conference Sponsorships Hosting a vascular or cardiovascular meeting? Apply now! 📅 DL: 30th of November, 2025 👉 evbo.org/index.php/ev... #EVBO #VascularBiology #ConferenceSupport

Are you interested in adaptation to the environment, epigenomics, and evolution? Apply to the INPhINIT programme and join me @icmcsic.bsky.social in the computational study of 3D chromatin evolution in teleosts!🐟🧬🧶👩🏽‍💻👩🏽‍🔬🔬

It’s getting cold outside, better prepare.

Magdalena Harakalova visited today the @instcardregffm.bsky.social at @goetheuni.bsky.social. We had a lot of fun discussing cardiovascular science, planned funky collaborations and had a great day overall. Looking forward to more interactions! PS. #STREAM!

Looking forward to hosting Magdalena Harakalova from University Medical Center Utrecht and Maastricht University at @instcardregffm.bsky.social this Friday at 14:00. She will be talking about the diversity of cardiovascular cells in the context of cardiomyopathies. See y'all there :)

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

Excited to share our newest work from the great @MarianoRuzJurado with great help from @StefanieDimmel1. Together we implemented a neural networks and explainable AI that discovered new cardiac biomarkers and deepens our understanding of heart failure subtypes! academic.oup.com/bib/article/...

Call for European 2030 IVBM Bid Application deadline is March 1st, 2026. More information:https://evbo.org/index.php/call-for-european-2030-ivbm-bid/

Controversial opinion: it is not possible to propose a truely innovative and cutting edge proposal more than a year in advance to funding commencement and then deliver exactly that 🙄! Research must be dynamic and relevant 🧬🔮

📣Registration is now open for the Gordon Research Seminar and Gordon Research Conference on Lymphatics 2026! Half of the talks will be selected from submitted abstracts. Don’t miss your chance to share your work! grc.org/lymphatics-g... grc.org/lymphatics-c...

Wow, that was fast @jmccardiology.bsky.social! Our article exploring the protective role of Snhg15 after myocardial infarction is already available :) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Congratulations to all authors, specially to the infatigable @MarianaShumliakivska! (I'll get her to @bsky.app)

You are looking for a Postdoc position to advance your career at a world-leading institution in cardiopulmonary research? We invite you to apply for our highly competitive Postdoc Grants: cpi-online.de/uncategorize...

Looking forward to present!

Look how cool, Felix Trogisch and Joerg Heineke highlight our decorin paper academic.oup.com/cardiovascre... in their last editorial in Cardiovascular Research academic.oup.com/cardiovascre.... I love the title 💃🏻💃🏻 Decorin expression is increased by ageing and contributes to inflammation and leakage.

More cool vascular science for the EVBO community. Tuesday, 28th of October, 3.00 pm CET.

Well, this was a tough one. We have done a bit of research while coming back from Granada, and the closest hit we find is the northern wheatear, a curious and savvy species that thrives at both sides of the Atlantic, as @leahvanicek.bsky.social will surely do!

It is Sunday. Act accordingly! Schiller, Wilhelm und Alexander v. Humboldt und Goethe in Jena

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Enjoy it while it lasts

@navbo.bsky.social 2025 starts this Sunday and the great @leahvanicek.bsky.social will be flying the colours of the @instcardregffm.bsky.social. She will present her work on HFpEF and microvascular cells. Watch out for funky pericyte stuff 💃🏻🤘🏻🫀 @cpi-exstra.bsky.social @dzhk.de @sfb1531.bsky.social

Interested in the heterogeneity of blood vessels in the CNS? Here we review the unique features of the spinal cord vasculature, its barrier properties and neurovascular interactions, highlighting unknown aspects and future research directions. @CRC1366 @erc.europa.eu @immunosens.bsky.social

Only a few days left to apply to join the lab, come have fun with lasers and fish to answer some cool questions along the gut-brain axis. Denmark is also a lovely country to live in!

Sharing this excellent review now out from postdoc Sarah McLarnon! Lots of useful info on 3D imaging, quantification of imaging data, and how this has been applied to the kidney. And since it's #FluorescenceFriday, sharing a figure with our own imaging data! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
