grappling with stubborn #Septins in the lab and with stubborn kids outside the lab
Very cool!
New preprint 🥳! We made photoclickable HaloTag ligands to precisely control protein labeling on living cells. With it, we can do some cool multicolor stuff. Huge congrats to Franzi and all co-authors! Check it out 👇

What on earth justifies giving so much money to one single person? With an average Western income, you would have to work for tens of millions of years to earn that much. If such a person had started working when the dinosaurs became extinct, they would have so much money by now. Think about it.

Dass wir im heutigen Stadtbild so viele Stolpersteine haben, liegt übrigens daran, dass sich mal eine Regierung an bestimmten Menschen im deutschen Stadtbild störte.

Vor ziemlich genau 8 Jahren hat Jörg Meuthen, ehem. Vorsitzender der AfD, gesagt, er sehe in den Innenstädten "noch vereinzelt Deutsche". Die Vorsitzende der CDU, Angela Merkel, hat ihm umgehend widersprochen. Friedrich Merz hat heute die Sprache und Position der AfD übernommen.

Lipid imaging on the cover of @nature.com! Great times for lipid cell biology indeed. And a fantastic recognition of all the hard work by the team, especially Juan M. Iglesias-Artola and Kristin Böhlig (who made the cover). Link to article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It is out! 🦚 I recorded hundreds of #ExM 🔬images of cytokinetic bridges and averaged them into 6 stages. How? With help from our fantastic collaborators @zacsimile.bsky.social and @jonasries.bsky.social in Vienna 😇. Check out the full atlas here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17232370
