In November, ScienceStories editor in chief Jens Degett from Denmark visited EMBL Heidelberg. As part of a Maria Leptin | EMBO Science Journalism Fellowship, Jens interviewed EMBL group leaders Detlev Arendt, Alba Diz-Muñoz and Anna Kreshuk, who explained: 🗯️ what sponges can teach us about the evolution of the brain; 🎧 how shape and stiffness influences organisms’ reactions to physiology and disease; 💡 how we can use algorithms to understand the patterns of life. The podcast episodes are now available: https://lnkd.in/e3eacxAD DANEMO - communicating EMBL & EMBO possibilities to the Danish research communities

As we’re wrapping up the #EMBL50 anniversary year, we invite you to take a look back on the special moments that defined your 2024 at EMBL. ✨ Was it the excitement of starting a new role, the pride of completing a PhD, new inspiration after attending a course or conference, or the moment you published your work in a breakthrough paper? What EMBL memory made this year special for you? Share your favourite moments of 2024 at EMBL in the comments or create your own post with #EMBL50 & @EMBL.

On 1 October 2024, we welcomed representatives from Evonik for a Science Day that brought together 16 industry experts and EMBL scientists. The event focused on exploring collaborative research opportunities in cutting-edge areas like RNA delivery and microbiome technology. Through insightful presentations and networking sessions, we fostered connections that could lead to innovative projects. A special thanks to Timo Zimmerman from our Imaging Centre for leading a tour of our advanced technologies! We look forward to the promising partnerships that will emerge from this collaborative atmosphere. Here’s to advancing science together! https://lnkd.in/g949zREA

EMBL alumnus Giulio Superti-Furga takes us on a journey through his illustrious career spanning industry, academia, and beyond. Read this interview to learn more about the scientific achievements he's most proud of, the importance of entrepreneurship, his advice for early career researchers, and why he had his personal genome sequenced. In recognition of his impact as a researcher as well as his far-reaching contributions through training, mentorship, innovation, and entrepreneurship, Superti-Furga was awarded the 2024 Lennart Philipson Award.

Meet Romain Linares, a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) expert in charge of managing the cryo-EM platform at EMBL Grenoble and providing support and training to its users. In this interview, he talks about how he sees this technique evolving in the coming years, his passion for astronomy, and what inspired him to become a scientist – a natural curiosity for science that eventually led him to explore the infinitely small in his work and the infinitely large as a hobby. https://lnkd.in/e96BPzqw

EMBL Group Leader Olivier Duss and his research team discovered how two molecular machines in bacteria work together and watched their interactions as a real-time movie. This study, now published in Nature, paves the way to developing new ways to fight bacterial pathogens at a time when antibiotic resistance is an important health issue. “This work is a great example of the importance of basic research in the broader context,” Duss said. “Basic research is what helps us understand how biology works, which then translates into new discoveries like novel drugs, advanced treatments, and better opportunities.” Read the full article to discover how they put snapshots in motion: https://lnkd.in/d6JqPdjR

Congratulations, Gautam Dey! 👏 The EMBL Group Leader has been selected to be part of EMBO's Young Investigator Programme and will receive networking, training, and mentorship opportunities over the next four years, in addition to an award of €15,000. https://lnkd.in/dYxQz2WT
