Data as LLM

When you plan travel for summer family vacation and the website shows charging stations at swimming pools all over Germany! 🤩

beautiful piece!

We just got approved to hire a teaching professor in Quantitative Methods! This is the *very* rare tenure track teaching position at Berkeley. I'll be chairing the search committee. Official job ad coming later this summer!

"Demokratien verteidigen ihre Universitäten nicht erst dann, wenn diese politisch angegriffen werden. Sie tun es auch, indem sie für ihre Räume Sorge tragen. Institutionen werden selten plötzlich schwach. Ihre Verwundbarkeit beginnt meist lange[,] bevor sie offen sichtbar wird."

Real breakthrough! Membrane undularion and 3D topography are real. DynaMIET gives access!

Very deserving winners! So many exciting and workable developments from their lab, not to mention the groundbreaking cell biology it allowed!

"Ich habe hart gearbeitet für das, was ich erreicht habe" ist bei den meisten Leuten nicht gelogen. Nur ignoriert es die harte Arbeit der vielen, die dafür nicht derart belohnt werden. Ja, rudern ist anstrengend. Auch im Luxusruderboot. Aber andere müssen schwimmen. Manche mit Gewicht an den Beinen.

New paper out! Left-handed DNA cannot bind to natural, right-handed DNA. This leads to lower background if it is used as a probe in DNA-PAINT. Using Fluorigenic DNA-PAINT with left-handed DNA allows for low background, fast 3D DNA-PAINT! Congrats, Bas! skeetorial: 1/x pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

This will be fun! Send your students and postdocs, join us!

This post makes me realize I need a novel synergizing history of fashion of slip on shoes with philosophical consequences of AI on the human condition by @greatdismal.bsky.social

Viele (besonders rechte) Medien machen auch Stimmung mit der gestiegenen Zahl der Morde 2025 (+ 54 Fälle). Trotz - 2,3% Gewaltkriminalität. Natürlich seien die "Ausländer" schuld. 79 der Fälle sind aber eine Mordserie eines tatverdächtigen Berliner Palliativmediziners. Vorname "Johannes".

Selbst das Manager Magazin kritisiert Wirtschaftsministerin Reiche nun wegen ihrer Öl- und Gas-Politik offen als "fatal". Es ist völlig unverantwortlich Reiche und ihren fossilen Lobbyismus weiter im Amt zu lassen - gerade auch für unsere Wirtschaft.

Day 2 of the EMBO U-ExM Workshop at EMBL Heidelberg #EMBOExM. Gels are ready and expanding nicely! We also had a lively poster session and inspiring talks from @sabsalon.bsky.social and @gautamdey.bsky.social. A very engaged group, great to see such thoughtful discussions around expansion microscopy

Science has finally settled the age-old debate of whose farts smell worse — men or women. A study found women’s flatus had greater odor intensity, but men produced more gas volume, writes our Ask a Doctor columnist.

Join us! We are recruiting an Associate/ Assistant Professor in quantitative, systems and engineering biology (QSEB) @warwicklifesci.bsky.social . warwick-careers.tal.net/vx/lang-en-G...

There's more - we also have a broad call for 6 Assistant Professors in @warwicklifesci.bsky.social www.nature.com/naturecareer...

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is actual news in 2026.

sounds like a reasonable assessment

Beautiful work by @franbottanelli.bsky.social lead by @probablycarmen.bsky.social now out. Was fun to contribute!

impressive!

Amazing find by @oliverrocks.bsky.social and @pm-mueller.bsky.social , such a cool discovery. Was fun to be involved.

Die frz Regierung unter Lecornu verbietet Gasheizungen für Neubauten. Verdoppelt die Hilfen zur Elektrifizierung der Mobilität.Verspricht 1 Millionen Wärmepumpen jährlich. Der Premierminister nennt es eine strategische Entscheidung: Voilà du leadership!

It’s been a phantastic meeting, many thanks to the organizers! meetings.embo.org/event/26-cyt...

Time to put the new German Society for Cell Biology lunchroom into your calendar! As always an excellent lineup:

Absolute cinema watching that jar of Nutella escape contain behind the backs of the astronauts after packing other things away

This entire blog post is gold.

Join us for the next DGZ Focus Workshop, next week Tuesday, organized by Franziska Lautenschläger & Anne Straube, featuring topics around #cytoskeleton and #molecularmotors. Talks by @lilianpaty.bsky.social , Rhoda Hawkins, Roman Podhajecky & Kanako Iwasaki

If you go home with somebody, and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em! – John Waters

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

Happy and honored to be part of JCB's newest editorial board additions. Looking forward to new and exciting cell biology!

I am very happy that the last bit of my doctorial work has reached the stage to be presented in the form of a preprint! Here we have a look at GGAs and how they might be connected to AP-1 transport. If you enjoy Golgi-endosome transport, please have a look; www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Highest recommendation to do science in Fabians lab. This is going to be amazing!

Question is: why not “slave trade” but only “transatlantic slave trade”? Who needed that distinction and why?

this goes for so much of the right wing ecosystem. the same guys who scream “DEI hire” would sink to the ocean if they weren’t kept afloat by their far right sugar daddies

pretty good summary

Game changer from the Nadler lab!

Wahre Worte, das fand ich auch immer unangenehm beim Umgang mit Mesut Özil.

Strongly recommended!
