What at success story!!! The HPV vaccination scheme in the UK completely eradicated cervical cancer mortality in young adults aged 20-24 years! I am glad that Austria also has a free vaccinate scheme - my boys got vaccinated and can now help eradicate cancer 💪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

70 teaspoons placed in tearooms around the institute & observed weekly over 5 months. 80% of spoons disappeared; spoon halflife~81 days. Communal room halflife lower than in specific labs. 250 spoons annually required to maintain 70 spoon population. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

… and the Nobel Prize goes to … three amazing immunologists: Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for research on immune tolerance. I was lucky enough to hear Dr Sakaguchi’s talk recently at IUIS in Vienna and it was amazing! Tregs rock 🥳 🤘🏻!

This has been a good year so far! One PhD thesis submitted and one student finished today with distinction 🥳 ! Congrats Stefan! I am really proud 🥹!

It’s Pride Month 🌈 In Vienna we even „ride with pride“ on the underground today 🥳

Spektakuläre Baustellenbesichtigung des neuen Zentrums für Translationsle Medizin @meduniwien.ac.at!

Bioimaging and bioimage analysis friends, some help if you have 2-3 mins; for a paper, we're trying to estimate the number of biologists trained in open source software or tools in the last ~5 years. (1/2) #bioimaging #microscopy #bioimageanalysis

You are kidding me 🤯 reloading one of the biggest frauds in scientific history! Several scientists have shown that there is no connection, so why roll it up again? Money going the wrong direction… we have plenty of unsolved health problems on earth to tackle!

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

Many thanks to Boris Hinz for the amazing comment on our paper! www.jidonline.org/article/S002... While working on a research topic you always think it is the coolest thing on earth, but when an expert in the field is enjoying reading your paper and likes the study it doesn't get any better 🥳
