Nice, so my son is supposed to give a year of his life in military or social service to a society that isn't willing to invest 1350€ (over 11 years) in a "headstart pension" for him, because it is too expensive. Welcome to intergenerational justice and solidarity in Germany in the year 2025...

From Bon-Kyoung Koo's Organoids Zoo & Vincenzo Corbo's pancreatic cancer models to Miki Ebisuya-Matsuda's early forebrain development research and the concluding keynote lecture by Matthias Lutolf:There is much to look forward to on the fourth and final day of #EESOrgan @events.embl.org @embo.org
In 2016, Juergen Knoblich was an organizer for the first #EESOrgan. Today,he gave a magnificent talk about cerebral organoids that help to recapitulate processes occurring in humans after birth and linked to various developmental disorders. Amazing research 🤯 @events.embl.org|@embl.org|@embo.org
Good morning from Day 3 of #EESOrgan! We’re kicking things off with Session 4: 'Organoids in regenerative medicine'. We hope you enjoy today’s talks, make new connections, and take home fresh insights to inspire your research. 💡
Our EMBL Barcelona lab is at #EESOrgan 2025! @embl.org For the latest on #organoid models of #neuroendocrine #lungcancer don't miss posters 109 & 133 TODAY by Andrea Garcia & Heleen Jüngen TOMORROW see posters 68, 80, 168, and 208 by Noah Candeli, Andrés Marco, Marina Cuenca, & Jackie Severino
Day 2 of #EESOrgan: Many different organoids,methods and applications!Highlights:"Generation of urinary tract organoids from human pluripotent stem cells"by Minoru Takasato&"Changing kidney Organoid formats for improved drug development and tissue engineering" by Melissa Little.Can't wait for Day 3!
Amazing talk by Paola Arlotta (Harvard Stem Cell Institute) to kick off #EESOrgan Hugely impressive:They were able to culture brain organoids for 5 years,and created complex models through co-culturing cells from different brain regions. Also enjoyable:A short discussion about brain organoid ethics😇
Excited to join the #EESOrgan as an interdisciplinary event reporter next week. Organoids are transforming biology, disease modelling, and regenerative medicine 🧬🩺 Looking forward to four days of fascinating talks by leading experts, interesting discussions, and much food for thought.

Brosius-Gersdorf zieht zurück. Respekt vor der Entscheidung - aber das ist eine Beschädigung des Rechtsstaats. Jurist*innen mit wissenschaftlichen Positionen werden so nicht mehr ins Verfassungsgericht kommen können. Kein guter Tag für die Gewaltenteilung. www.deutschlandfunk.de/brosius-gers...

Eine Schande für die Union. Eine Schande für die SPD. Eine Schande für unsere Demokratie. Ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung Trumpisierung Deutschlands und Machterschleichung der AfD. SPD sollte jetzt zumindest eine Frau aufstellen, die signifikant linker ist. www.tagesschau.de/eilmeldung/e...

For Valentine’s Day, here’s an old poem; as old as they get, in fact. It’s considered to be the world’s oldest surviving love poem, written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus.

Ich kann die Aufregung über das Interview von Maria-Sibylla Lotter im DLF nicht so richtig nachvollziehen. Ja,vermutlich unterschätzt sie die Gefahr,die von der AfD ausgeht. Aber deshalb gleich zur Rundfunkbeschwerde aufzurufen? Ihr müsst euch ja nicht an ihr orientieren, aber lasst sie doch irren!
Sometimes I feel like Western democracy has won itself to death. Because apparently growing up with the blessings of democracy can lead to a situation, where people feel completely justified in voting for hardcore totalitarians over petty grievances or the mere suggestion to change a few habits...

Is there still time to amend the #GoldenGlobes nominations for best Comedy Special? All they would have to do imho is to take @kvanaren.bsky.social's much more sophisticated list and pass it off as the actual nominations: www.vulture.com/article/best...
I’m going to say something controversial. The Eagles are one of America’s best rock bands. I just saw them for 2 hours and nothing missed. Perfect harmony, exquisite craftsmanship, timeless songs. 10/10
