Congrats to the joint publication of our projects Sig01 @Lienau63 and Sig02 together with @est_uol and others in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jpclett.4c02711

Brandnew: Our SFB fellow Pauline Fleischmann @Cataglyfilosofi talks about her research in the @hirn_gehoert podcast (in German). https://www.instagram.com/p/DAF1vj0hkql/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzJiMzQ5ZWQ2Mw==

Together with illustrator Charlotte Hintzmann ( we developed an illustration project to increase the visibility of the female primary investigators of our SFB. Today we present the first #womeninscience: Miriam Liedvogel. Entire post at insta: @SFB_1372

Our research fellow Pauline was interviewed by the Myrmecological News Blog. Read the article about "Navigating through the postdoc career while exploring navigation systems in Cataglyphis desert ants" here: https://blog.myrmecologicalnews.org/2024/08/26/navigating-through-the-postdoc-career-w...

Congratulations to Anja Günther and her colleagues from the caesar Bonn! Together with scientists from our SFB, they found a "Species-specific circuitry of double cone photoreceptors in two avian retinas", published in Communications biology. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-024-06697-2
