How are mRNAs exported from the nucleus? The @plaschka_lab provides direct evidence that how we drew it in textbooks is wrong. Check out the amazing mechanistic work by our colleagues @IMPvienna! Huge congrats to all authors particularly Clemens, @MVorlandr & @bpachecofiallos!

How to teach a science creativity class? Our suggestions:
1. Improvisational science
2. The 2 languages of science
3. Finding questions
4. Data-hypothesis conversation
5. Contradictions
6. Interdisciplinarity & Renaissance minds
7. Science as a meta-puzzle

Patrick Cramer & his lab (@CramerLab @mpi_nat) study the molecular mechanisms of gene transcription using integrative structural biology & systems biology approaches. The lecture “Gene transcription: from mechanisms to regulation” is now online: 📺https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWQtaWOG0yc

You gotta admire the creativity with these social hour ads @viennabiocenter (there’s one every Friday, organised by different labs)

A #leadership program designed for @viennabiocenter to boost leadership skills across campus - independently of whom you 'lead' (a lab, HR, IT, an institute). After 'base camp 1' we are ready & excited to continue climbing up the mountain! Thanks @EvaSchmid7 for the initiative!

Happy to share our work published in @CellReports: Using time-resolved RNA sequencing we provide an exhaustive view of the embryonic transcriptome in a maternal/zygotic-aware manner in zebrafish. Major effort by @poojabhat1690 in a great collaboration with the @PauliGroup . 1/11 https://twitter.com/MaxPerutzLabs/status/1625480181669306371

BIRC6 prevents #apoptosis – earning it the nickname “Guardian of the Cell”. Scientists from @clausen_lab now show that BIRC6’s structure holds the key for regulating cell death, but also for cell survival pathways.

May the New Year bring this madness (and many other ones) to an end.

It’s ornamental cabbage season in NYC, so a reminder that it and all of these vegetables are the same species and are the product of human selection and the remarkable plasticity of Brassica oleracea development.

This is worth reading under the Christmas tree! I was touched by the stories of @DrAnneCarpenter and @LashuelLab who both shrunk their lab following health issues. Perhaps science, as well as scientists, would be better off if we all ran smaller labs?
