Live and in colour from room SR 11.33 (which will also host talks next week): we are getting ready for an exciting week of science at #ECMTB26! 🧬🧪🧑🏫 Looking forward to host you at @uni-graz.at ~ early registration opens on Sunday, 15:00! 👋
💊 Drug effects don’t happen in a cellular “bucket,” but in specific subcellular compartments Our new tool, #RegulomeXplorer, enables you to explore treatment effects on cytoplasmic and nuclear proteomes — interactively and visually 🧬 Try it out chemnettools.anc.univie.ac.at/RegulomeExpl...
As you're planning your #ECMTB26 programme, I'd highly recommend adding our mini symposium Metabolic Foundations of Microbial Community Interactions: From Theory to Practice to your schedule. 📅 Mon June 13, 10:40 a.m. Looking forward to seeing many of you there 🦠 ecmtb2026.org/contribution...

Climate-related displacement at @univie.ac.at: the brave three of us who made it to uni today have migrated to our only air-conditioned room — the social room. ❄️ On the upside, we are now dangerously close to the coffee machine ☕
Just as human communities are diverse, microbial ones are too 🌈 Fittingly for Pride Month, this rainbow "tent" maps all possible microbial interactions. Its corners reveal different ecological relationships, from specialization and commensalism to mutualism. @ds-vienna.bsky.social @univie.ac.at
Jürgen Zanghellini@juergenzanghellini.bsky.social · last mo.What does a tent ⛺ have to do with microbial communities? A lot, actually! It describes the microbial playground. Its corners reveal ways they can interact: from specialization to commensalism to mutualism Check out how geometry reveals rules for microbial interactions doi.org/10.1098/rsif...

How do we build AI systems people can trust and actually understand? Join us at Data Science + AI Day 2026 this Monday, June 22, and share your thoughts 👇
Universität Wien / University of Vienna@univie.ac.at · 2mo ago📣 Event tip: Data Science + AI Day 2026 „Advancing Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust and Understand" 🔬 @ds-vienna.bsky.social invites to an #AI showcase on June 22 — panels & keynotes highlighting how Vienna's university researchers are advancing interpretable AI systems we can trust. 🔍 More: ⤵️
Fantastic exchange between @w-u-r.bsky.social and @univie.ac.at on microbiology, systems biology, modelling, synthetic biology, and biotechnology 🧪 Great discussions & a visit to the Mass Spectrometry Centre reminded us that science is better face-to-face 😄 Thanks to everyone--you made it a blast!
Really great talk by #HannesLink at @univie.ac.at Wild to see genome-scale CRISPRi uncover just how tightly E. coli controls metabolite levels to keep metabolism efficient, robust
We regret to inform you that after four successful editions of the Summer School on the Economic Principles of Cellular Biology, the program will not take place in 2026.

![[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]
1
SOCRATES:
Plato..
PLATO:
Yes Socrates?
2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?
PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates
3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?
PLATO:
Um, yep
4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then
5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]
SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?
6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel
7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.
PLATO:
No.
8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]
So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?
9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really
10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?
PLATO:
‘Spose not.
11
[Bleak pause]
12
PLATO:
I’ll get the hemlock
SOCRATES:
Yeah
