Last week, we hosted the kick-off meeting for the new Frankfurt Microscopy Club! 🔬
Participants from @goetheuni.bsky.social and the @mpibrain.bsky.social came together to foster exchange, share expertise, and explore future collaborations in light microscopy.
#Microscopy #LightMicroscopy #Research
We were excited to take part in Girls’ Day! Participants enjoyed lab tours, hands-on experiments in our teaching lab, inspiring stories, and got a glimpse into everyday life in research. 🧠🧬🔬

Ribosomes in pairs: A survival strategy inside stressed cells.
When nutrients drop or temperatures shift, cells switch to survival mode. New work by @erin-schuman.bsky.social & colleagues shows that inactive ribosomes pair up via a ribosomal RNA link @andschwarz.bsky.social @muellermara.bsky.social
#FrankfurtHatHirn 🧠live 2026 this week was inspiring, engaging, and full of lively exchange!
Young researchers took the audience on an exciting journey into the world of brain research in the Main metropolis.
