Special thanks to the organisers and to @sonjawelsch.bsky.social for leading this effort.
We are looking forward to seeing this knowledge travel back to labs around the world.🌍
What does a postdoc do in their “free” time? Spoiler: They don’t have any. But when Marcel Heinz does sneak in a few minutes between tasks, he’s busy building a free, no-registration chemical sketcher—kudos for this valuable contribution to the community!

Komm’ am 12. Juni auf die Night of Science✨! Erlebe, wie aus Stickstoff leckeres Eis🍦wird und welche Aufgaben verschiedene Proteine in unserem Körper übernehmen! Erfahre in Vorträgen und bei einer Elektronenmikroskopie-Tour 🔬 mehr über unsere Forschung! Infos: 👉 www.biophys.mpg.de/de/night-of-...
How do you do quantum physics ⚛ when sign language ☝️ lacks the words? Kudos to Ingo Barth, the first deaf German to earn a chemistry PhD, broke barriers as a physics student and research leader—then created Sign2MINT, a STEM sign language lexicon with 5,000+ signs, empowering Deaf scientists. 💪💪💪
The results, published in @natcellbio.nature.com, show how the protein DRP1 scans the surface of mitochondria to finds the right place to cut 🔬 💻

That’s a wrap on our @embo.org #cryoFIB & #cryoET course!
It was an incredible week of hands-on learning, collaboration, and shared expertise, made possible by dedicated organizers, incredible trainers, and an engaged group of participants.
We are having a very hands-on week at the @embo.org #cryoFIB & #cryoET course 🔬
Our participants are learning about sample vitrification, lamella milling, FLM, lift-out, data acquisition and more!
We are learning by doing, troubleshooting, and sharing expertise across labs. 🧪
Now it's @jpkreysing.bsky.social 's turn! 🎓🎉
Congratulations Jan Philipp on defending your PhD thesis, "Capturing Functional States in Situ with Cryo-Electron Tomography" in the @becklab.bsky.social lab!
We're very excited to see more IMPRS-CBP #PhDs graduate🎓✨

We had a great time having Michael Elbaum from the Weizmann Institute visit our institute (@mpibp.bsky.social)! Had an insightful seminar and a fun time at the Krios doing STEM 🔬
Our Krios is upside down according to material scientists so instead of turning our microscope, we turned ourselves!

Proteins DRP1 and MID49 scan the mitochondrial outer membrane before division, revealing a previously unrecognized step in mitochondrial fission.
