On #InternationalWomensDay, we remember Cécile Vogt, co-founder of our original institute, and her daughters Marthe and Marguerite Vogt - all pioneering scientists in their fields. Their impact continues to shape modern science today. More on Cécile Vogt 👉 brain.mpg.de/cecile-vogt-... #Diversity

Had a great day at Human Technopole - lots of stimulating discussions with students and faculty and also, this should be a new standard, Aperol spritz after the seminar! @humantechnopole.bsky.social

explorers at the farthest reaches of our knowledge 🤩 neuronal ribosomes, and their mysterious rRNA expansion segments immense story from the dream team @andschwarz.bsky.social & @muellermara.bsky.social in the @erin-schuman.bsky.social lab at @mpibrain.bsky.social ribosome structure♥️neurons

Mammalian cells form hibernating disomes akin to those in bacterial cells - but connected via ribosomal RNA www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... co-first with: @andschwarz.bsky.social with: @lea-dietrich.bsky.social, @sgiando.bsky.social, @erin-schuman.bsky.social and many more 🧵 0/6 #MolBio 🧪

Ribosomes in pairs: A survival strategy inside stressed cells. When nutrients drop or temperatures shift, cells switch to survival mode. New work by @erin-schuman.bsky.social & colleagues shows that inactive ribosomes pair up via a ribosomal RNA link @andschwarz.bsky.social @muellermara.bsky.social

A festive finish to the Max Planck Junior Scholars Program 2025! 🎓 After 3 weeks of hands-on science, twelve outstanding students presented their research & experiences at today’s certificate ceremony at the MPI 🧠. Driven, talented minds, and full of potential! @maxplanck.de 🔗 bit.ly/3H33m3S

A tiny bit of joy: France serves up mitotic spindle fireworks on Bastille Day.

Here’s a group photo from the 2nd block of the Cajal Course "Advanced Techniques for #Synapse Biology", with our top speakers @erin-schuman.bsky.social & @verstrekenlab.bsky.social, plus our brilliant directors @cecilecharrier.bsky.social & Julien Dupuis. Great time connecting in #neuroscience!

The 2025 Max Planck Junior Scholars Program is supported by the 2024 Körber Prize @koerberscience.bsky.social to Erin Schuman @erin-schuman.bsky.social 🙌

I'm still amazed to see this! Big thank you to Werner Kühlbrandt, Martin Beck and @erin-schuman.bsky.social for all their support and mentorship! I can't wait to get started on the exciting research projects at the @mpibrain.bsky.social ! 🧬🧠❄️🔬

Your brain doesn’t just passively track time ⏳ - it structures it. In @Science.org we show that activity in 🧠 memory circuits (LEC) drifts constantly, but makes sharp jumps at key moments, segmenting life into meaningful events. (1/2) 👉 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

#GirlsDay at @mpibrain.bsky.social - We loved welcoming curious and enthusiastic girls to explore the world of science & research. We're committed to continue to inspire the next generation of researchers. 👩‍🔬 #STEM #WomenInScience #NextGenScientists @erin-schuman.bsky.social @alenalem.bsky.social

With @erin-schuman.bsky.social, Michael Greenberg, @scheiffelelab.bsky.social, @franckp.bsky.social, Corette Wierenga, Monica Di Luca, Nelson Rebola and @verstrekenlab.bsky.social as keynote speakers 🧠

Congratulations to @mpibrain.bsky.social director Gilles Laurent for being awarded the 2025 Louis-Jeantet prize for Medicine! The @louisjeantetfdn.bsky.social recognizes Laurent's pioneering work on the operations of #neurons and dynamics of neuronal networks. More infos 👉 bit.ly/4hqk6ie

📢 The Louis-Jeantet Foundation is happy to announce the 2025 #LouisJeantetPrizes, awarded to VEIT HORNUNG @v-hornung.bsky.social @genecenter-lmu.bsky.social and to GILLES LAURENT @ maxplanck.de CONGRATULATIONS!!! 👉 jeantet.ch/en 👇 follow thread
