📣 This month, we invite 5 #KnowledgeValorisation experts to voice the value of #FundamentalResearch for #EUcompetitiveness 5️⃣ Jérémie Weber, from @institutcurie.bsky.social in France ⬇️

What happens when researchers from Europe’s top scientific institutes come together, mix in a dash of courage, a sprinkle of creativity, and a touch of music? 🎤 CEITEC hosted a competition unlike anything the Czech science scene has seen before. 🔗 www.ceitec.eu/when-science... @eu-life.bsky.social

"While the strategy rightly covers development & deployment [of innovations] -areas of great importance- it falls short on enabling excellent research in the life sciences, where EU is no longer the global leader, for example in fields like biomedicine" said EU-LIFE Exec Dir @meagostinho.bsky.social

✨ 🎤 🎉 On May 22, Tasos Pavlopoulos (Head of the Developmental Morphogenesis Lab) and Theodoros Kosteas (Head of the Animal Facility) gave an amazing performance at the @eu-life.bsky.social #ScienceVision Talk Contest in Brno. Watch their performance! 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=uml6...

📣 This month, we invite 5 #KnowledgeValorisation experts to voice the value of #FundamentalResearch for #EUcompetitiveness 3️⃣ Karel Lacina, from #ACTOSens in Czech Republic ⬇️

The research sector stands united: the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions must stay bottom-up. No political direction — MSCA already delivers on Europe’s priorities! 👇

EU-LIFE, @coimbragroup.bsky.social, @yerunnetwork.bsky.social & many EU research organisations urge EU to keep #MSCA 's bottom-up approach. MSCA’s success lies in its openness to all fields & topics. Thematic restrictions would stifle innovation & limit researchers' opportunities. ➡️ bit.ly/3Gbc9Ak

This was a great event combining the spirit of #TCTeAC and #Eurovision. @eu-life.bsky.social was the perfect organization for this. I am especially happy about the great community the performers formed instantaneously. #Science and #Scientists are #cool.

What happens when passion, creativity and fun collides - you end up dressed as a rhodopsin protein rapping to an international audience as part of @eu-life.bsky.social's #ScienceVision contest! Get Ellie's perspective in this interview ⤵️

It's #BOARD25. Current research projects at the Institute are using mice to understand: 🧬 how what we eat affects the activity of our genes 💊 the increased susceptibility to disease with age ⌛how biological timing is encoded in the genome Learn more: www.babraham.ac.uk/our-research...

Our animal facility works to provide the highest standard of care and welfare for the mice we use. This video shows a technician performing an in-hand check to detect any health issues: youtu.be/TZhX41YbvEU?... More videos at www.babraham.ac.uk/our-research... #BOARD25

Organoids are becoming a valid alternative, but they can’t fully replace animal research – yet. At the #mdcBerlin, we’re working on better models and transparent communication. That's what @eara.eu's #BOARD25 is all about! More on our organoid research: 🔗 www.mdc-berlin.de/themen/organ...
