Europe is a top destination for researchers and innovators. And we’re aiming higher than ever. Choose Science, Choose Europe. 🇪🇺

Here is one big reason to choose Europe to advance with your research career: We 💙 science.

JUST IN: International students make up more than a quarter of Harvard University's student body. Harvard says the government's actions, which could cut off a major revenue stream, are "unlawful."

Immunometabolism & beyond - from liver to brain. A great success! Tx to all the speakers and participants for fantastic talks and good discussions! #immunometabolism #DFG #Universitätsmedizin Mainz

I am so excited to share our new publication on Nature Metabolism about the metabolic reprogramming in gamma delta T cells in response to inflammation. #gdt #immunometabolism Thanks for my research team in groups of @timsparwasser.bsky.social in Germany and Princeton @lydialynch.bsky.social 🙌🏻

Europe’s choice is clear. To put science at the heart of its economy. To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration. And to welcome talent from all over the world. I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative. → europa.eu/!TTbWbJ

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

In an open letter of support to the President of @harvard.edu, Max Planck President Patrick Cramer @patrick-cramer.maxplanck.de has expressed his full support of the University in its stance against demands by the Trump administration to change its policies in order to retain federal funding.

15 PhDs, 11 countries, 1 goal: Rethinking immunotherapy! @luberod.bsky.social leads #UNLIMITED, a newly EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions #MSCA Doctoral Network on lipid #immunometabolism with €4.5m for cutting-edge science!! Congratulationss! #immunology #bioinformatics #drugdevelopment

“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W
