It was not my intention to present the label of the ceramic piece. Here goes the piece itself

During my first visit to Ciudad de Mexico I had the good fortune of being treated by Tamara Rosenbaum and León Islas, from UNAM. Wonderful hosts! Looking forward to TRPing together #ionchannels #pain

Margaret Atwood: “La América de Trump se acerca cada vez más a ‘El cuento de la criada’” www.lavanguardia.com/cultura/2025...

That merely being “under review” by a Nature family journal is offered as a quality proxy for a paper is a tragic illustration of the extent to which academia is addicted to brands and outsources evaluation

Check out this new paper from Stefan Lechner's lab showing with minflux nanoscopy how PIEZO1 channels cluster and invagininate the membrane. Glad we could make a small contribution to this nice story! www.science.org/doi/full/10....

#caturday siesta. For my next reincarnation, I would like to trade souls with Duna.

It's online! In this series of perspectives @dev-journal.bsky.social, yours truly talks about the exciting open questions and many things to do in the field of dev bio and neuroscience #DevBio🧪 #PIsOfTomorrow journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Hike #7 Family outing to Finca Galatzo (5 km)

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Rapamycin's Secrets | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/blog... #Rapamycin is a fascinating molecule with many biological effects. Happy that @dereklowe.bsky.social highlighted the findings by our group @painchannels.bsky.social and our friends in Leuven on direct TRPM8 activaton by rapamycin.

Excited to share the final version of our paper, where we invented a robotic device (ARM) for pain and somatosensory testing in rodents. We are excited to see many groups already getting this device in their labs through our startup company Tactorum Inc. elifesciences.org/articles/996...

Translating our knowledge of #chronicpain mechanisms into novel #analgesics has proven exceedingly difficult. Which are the major bottlenecks? Can we find ways to bypass them? @neuroalc.bsky.social hosts a roundtable with 3 distinguished pain researchers to discuss this problem. Admission is free!

It was really one of the best conferences I have ever attended: great science in a friendly atmosphere and a gorgeous setting.

Thank you to @jansiemens.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social and James Poulet @mdc-berlin.bsky.social for the invitation and bringing together an amazing group of scientist working 🥵 and 🥶 temperature sensing and thermoregulation

It was a real privilege to attend 131 International Titisee Conference on the Impact of Temperature on Physiology and Behavior organized by Boheringer Ingelhein Fonds, and present the work of @painchannels.bsky.social on Pathophysiology of TRP channels Incredible rich program in beautiful location

Hike #6 in 🇩🇪 from Titisee to Bühlberg and back. Relaxing 5 km walk

#caturday Walking up

Majo ha montado una librería en el Cabanyal. Majo la ha llamado Terramar, como la saga de K. Leguin. Dice Majo que es uno de los pocos negocios que quedan en un barrio cada vez más gentrificado. La librería de Majo es preciosa y la podéis seguir en IG @terramarllibreria Id a comprar libros a Majo.

Saturday is market day.

👏 Congrats to @neuroalc.bsky.social researchers named in Stanford’s ranking of the world’s most cited scientists: Carlos Belmonte, @borrell-lab.bsky.social , @jlerma1.bsky.social , Salvador Martínez, @nietoangela.bsky.social & @neuroviana.bsky.social , outstanding global impact in neuroscience!

#caturday siesta time! #cats

Siesta time! #caturday

Well deserved recognition for overlooked research on a critical ion channel #CysticFibrosis with devatating consequences when not working properly. Great day for the ion channel field; translational research with a solid basic science foundation. I hope they are recognized with the Nobel Prize soon.

He acknowledges the conflict ,but his clear message is our continued contamination of all aspects of life with plastic is unsustainable.

Thomas Deininger uses plastic waste to create sculptures,or should I say,works of Genius!!!!!!

I shall introduce Dune, our new family member, to all of you. Besides sleeping many hours, she has been exploring every single corner of our apartment. So far, the antennae of the spiny lobster is one of her favourite toys #cats #catlife

Treating Chronic Pain Is Hard. An Experimental Approach Shows Promise. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/h...

Too often, I see people talk about a replication as if the first study has established something, and the replication study is a double-check. What people often fail to understand is that we do not do replication studies to *check* a finding, but to *establish* a finding. 1/x

This therapy builds on research from Carlos Belmonte, @neuroviana.bsky.social and colleagues, who showed how corneal cold receptors drive tear production and identified TRPM8 as a target. Once again showcasing the international nature of scientific progress.

Nantes Place Royale. You get the idea 😹

Sadly, we have made the difficult decision not to run the course this year. But we will return in 2026! Thanks for your support!

Today, Dr. Mikel García-Marcos from @bumedicine.bsky.social offered us a fantastic #SeminarsIN on the secret life of G proteins. Great talk, thank you! 👏👏👏 @csic.es @umh.es @dicv.csic.es @painchannels.bsky.social @neuroviana.bsky.social

I enjoyed being part of the jury for the PhD Thesis of Marion Bied, a brilliant student in the team of Guillaume Sandoz at @univcotedazur.bsky.social @cnrscotedazur.bsky.social Time to discuss science with colleagues, great hospitality and awsome swim at Cap d’Antibes #UNICA #ionchannels #pain
