That’s hilarious!
70 teaspoons placed in tearooms around the institute & observed weekly over 5 months. 80% of spoons disappeared; spoon halflife~81 days. Communal room halflife lower than in specific labs. 250 spoons annually required to maintain 70 spoon population.

… and the Nobel Prize goes to … three amazing immunologists: Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for research on immune tolerance. I was lucky enough to hear Dr Sakaguchi’s talk recently at IUIS in Vienna and it was amazing! Tregs rock 🥳 🤘🏻!

Spektakuläre Baustellenbesichtigung des neuen Zentrums für Translationsle Medizin @meduniwien.ac.at! PV-Module am Dach, Abwärmenutzung, Dachbegrünung und hoffentlich bald translationale Spitzenforschung drinnen! Noch heißts Helm auf, aber jetzt schon Hut ab an alle Beteiligten! #ichforschegerninwien

Bioimaging and bioimage analysis friends, some help if you have 2-3 mins; for a paper, we're trying to estimate the number of biologists trained in open source software or tools in the last ~5 years. (1/2) #bioimaging #microscopy #bioimageanalysis

You are kidding me 🤯 reloading one of the biggest frauds in scientific history! Several scientists have shown that there is no connection, so why roll it up again? Money going the wrong direction… we have plenty of unsolved health problems on earth to tackle!
