So much looking forward to this!

Our @fens.org Satellite meeting is tomorrow! #FENS2026 Check out our updated program👇 youngpisymposium2026.com/program/ We are all super excited to have everyone joining! Safe travels everyone 🚅 ✈️ 🚲 See you in Barcelona 🔆😎

🚨📢 New paper from the lab: Age-dependent vulnerability to spatial memory interference in APP/PS1 mice (a preclinical model of Alzheimer's disease) 🧵1/6 www.frontiersin.org/journals/agi...

Hola 👋 On my way ✈️ Looking forward to seeing you there

On my way✈️

one of the best things about being a scientist is teaming up with your scientific heroes from across the globe 🌎 Judith Frydman (Stanford) & Elke Deuerling (Konstanz) 💫 the future is bright ☀️ stay tuned for some science! ✨

thanks for the shout out Dafni! i don't often tell this story in my current life as a scientist ... but this story is a big piece of who i am, and what i stand for 🤝

Congrats 👏 to the newly minted Master's student Arie Maeve Brueckner in the Kraushar Lab @molgen.mpg.de, who defended her thesis with the highest honors 🤩 Arie is an exceptionally talented scientist with a bright future ☀️ Stay tuned for Arie's discoveries in the literature soon ...

Let's step inside a neuron together, and ask, "how did all this get here?" 🤔 In this review, I trace the history and transformations of a neuron's molecules, pay homage to major discoveries in brain development ... and make a call to action for neuroscience. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Kraushar lab open house: Berlin Long Night of Science 2026 🤩 A heartfelt thanks to the public - you make our research possible 🤝 Our visitors came full of enthusiasm for our research, especially those visitors who struggle with neurological diseases - we are working hard for you! @molgen.mpg.de

Today, it was Lisa's turn to defend her PhD thesis and she did an absolutely fantastic job 😍 Especially going into full structure of the RNA Pol2 catalytic core and explaining the mutants. It was an outstanding discussion! I am really proud of her performance today 🥹

sunday evening, berlin (sound on)

I finally got around to reading this piece by @mariafarrell.eurosky.social and @robin.berjon.com, and it's fantastic. Drawing comparisons to ecology, it's a superb manifesto for the open web.

Puma Blue @ Gretchen 19/5/26 pure magic 🪄

Excited to share our work uncovering SNOR, a ribosome-associated factor that promotes translation restart after dormancy published in Nature!! This was, as usual, a wonderful collaborative effort between our group and the Mattei Lab @simonemattei.bsky.social @embl.org www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1/9 New preprint from the Sternberg Lab in collaboration with the Nishimasu Lab! We uncover how the DRT3 antiphage immune system pairs two reverse transcriptases, one RNA-templated and one protein-templated, to build a double-stranded DNA effector. doi.org/10.64898/202...

How do mitochondrial ribosomes keep pace with membrane insertion? Now out in NSMB: We show that mitoribosomes slow down at defined positions linked to membrane insertion and protein topology: rdcu.be/fhqIT #Mitochondria #Ribosome #CryoEM

In our "Meet the first author" series we spoke with Lisa Martina and Michal Malszycki about their recent paper, their fascination with nuclear speckles, and how an unexpected discovery helped them gain insight into the functions of speckles. www.molgen.mpg.de/news-2026-mt... @aktast.bsky.social

a really cool molecular basis for memory, and its inheritance, in a really cool system 🤩 thought provoking for the origins of multicellular memory encoding in nervous systems

Another of my Japan paintings. This is Kyoto though! Thought it would be calming for my Bluesky art friends! #oilpainting #primitiveart #artbrut #japanart

nice review on the guardians of translation, proteostasis, and its adversaries in the cytoplasm 👏 Ulrike Topf febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We are excited that Claudia Langenberg and Malte Spielmann joined the MPIMG this year as external scientific members of the Max Planck Society. These roles are held by researchers with close MPI ties, strengthening our network and fostering collaboration. Read more: www.molgen.mpg.de/news-2026-ex...

We are looking for a human MALAT1 overexpression plasmid. Does any of you kind people have it?

In this interview, @juliabatki.bsky.social, FMI’s newest group leader, reflects on the early curiosity that drew her to science, why FMI is the right home for her lab, how studying cell clearance could help us understand disease, and her love of improv. www.fmi.ch/news-events/...

Raquel Fueyo's lab studies the impact of transposons on human embryonic development and disease. We talked with her about what drew her to this field, her lab's work culture, and how she finds inspiration for her science in art. @fueyoraquel.bsky.social Read more: www.molgen.mpg.de/news-2026-in...

The research highlight of our recent work on nuclear speckles is online. The photo choice is eggcellent. Happy Easter! 🌸🐰🥚 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
