Our meeting at beautiful Dushu Lake near Suzhou ended yesterday after many great talks. I really enjoyed learning about cell death and immunity pathways associated with it!
Now I’m on my way to Fudan University for a lab visit and seminar, kindly hosted by @ichikawa-lab.bsky.social 🙌🏻

Yesterday was my first day in Shanghai and I was lucky to enjoy a great visit to the Shanghai Institute of Immunity and Infection (by Chinese Academy of Science). Thank you to Xing Liu for being a wonderful host and ensuring a smooth trip for me 🙌🏻

Toxic friendships be like
“let’s run 25km on Sunday”
- “ok”
(My longest run ever and my first partial trail run!)

Happy to report that I have survived my Half Marathon! #BerlinHalf gave us gorgeous medals, totally worth the training and pain 🏃🏻♀️

I love myself a good Review with heaps of mechanistic insights!
You do, too? You know what to put on your reading list then 🤩
Bottom line: #pyroptosis is very cool and we're starting to understand quite a bit about how #gasdermins execute this cell death pathway 🥳

Editorial life is very exhausting for my little helper and so he’s taking his early-morning nap right on my arm!
If I’m delayed in sending you any edits, please blame Koda 🙏

I know the US are a shitshow right now, but Germany is approaching an important election as well. As always I will be counting votes and today we’ve got the training on how to do so - funnily, it’s happening in a cinema this year 😀 the smell of popcorn overpowers my election anxiety slightly 🍿

How you can tell that I’m in midlife crisis mode: I’ve decided to run a #HalfMarathon in April and consequently just did 13km in icy Berlin (around the decommissioned former airport!)!
Slow, but steady 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️

Some reviewer reports really put a smile on my face! A recent report included a link to a personalised version of the meme below to underscore a reviewer comment regarding an imbalance of the discussion in one section 😀🤭

We had our strategy meeting this week to think about ideas, commissions and - very exciting - our 25 year anniversary @natrevmcb.bsky.social this October 🥳
Stay tuned for what we’ve got coming for you this year!!

My favourite two flatmates turned three today!!! They’re simultaneously behaving like teenagers and toddlers, it’s the best possible thing and they melt my heart every day 🥹❤️

In case you’re wondering who’s editing your manuscripts on this first working day in 2025 - it’s Koda the cat.

Time for my final favourite NRMCB cover! Our October cover highlights this Review by Andreas Mayer et al. on tubular endosomal carriers and their function in protein sorting and recycling.
Can you tell what the cover was also inspired by? I love a good colourful cover :)

Another of my favourite 2024 #NatRevMCB covers highlights our Review on #somitogenesis by Yuchuan Miao and Olivier Pourquie.
We were inspired by the rows of forming somites that resemble rows of seat on a train or plane and their patterning by Hox genes!

Another Tuesday, another favourite @natrevmcb.bsky.social 2024 cover! This might very well be my overall fave and it's a shame it came out too early for Halloween...

As 2024 is slowly drawing to a close (???), I want to highlight my favourite #NatRevMCB covers of the year 🤩
Here's the first of them: Our February cover with the cutest highland cows - inspired by our Review on the hair follicle stem cell niche by Zhang & Chen.
