Wie een dag meeloopt ziet het meteen: onze dierverzorgers zijn dol op de apen 🐒❤️ Ze kennen elke aap door en door en zorgen elke dag dat het ze aan niets ontbreekt. Met Valentijn krijgen ze zelfs hartjes om mee te spelen!
Meer zien? 👇 youtu.be/IAV75ScRzJQ?...

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views
In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

The same conservatives pushing to close facilities like this will then go on to ridicule biomedical research done on lower animals as "wasteful and irrelevant to human health". You can't have it both ways. www.opb.org/article/2026...

Unser Fazit: #Transparenz heißt auch, methodische Grenzen und ethische Annahmen offen zu benennen. Gute #WissKomm beginnt intern, indem Mitarbeitende informiert, geschützt und sprechfähig gemacht werden.
Americans still have more confidence in scientists than many other groups in society
Full survey results show American public have high levels of confidence in scientists while revealing some partisan differences (including on how to fund science), but statements asserting lost trust should be read instead as intentional efforts to degrade trust.

Mary Somerville - the person for whom the word scientist was coined by William Whewell in his 1834. She was a polymath, an intellectual tour de force at a time when teaching women to read and write let alone think deeply was frowned upon or ignored ⚒️🧪🌊

Why don’t eggs tell jokes?
You can get into trouble by laughing at the wrong moment, so researchers investigated how laughter can be regulated and what can make this harder: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html...

We say goodbye to Jens Frahm 👋 – as head of Biomedizinische NMR Forschungs GmbH & our institute’s Biomedical NMR research group, he achieved groundbreaking scientific successes. His FLASH patent is the most successful of the Max Planck Society @maxplanck.de to date.
Best wishes for the retirement!
Die Wahl zwischen Teamwork und Wettbewerb 🤝⚡️
Eine neue Studie aus Göttingen zeigt: Unsere Entscheidungen entstehen spontan im Moment. Weglänge, Bewegungstempo und feine soziale Signale beeinflussen, wie wir handeln. So formen sich soziale Rollen zwischen Menschen.

My grandpa was born in the US to German parents. He had younger cousins who were in Hitler youth in Germany. Decades later I talked with some of them about it (with the ruthless candor of youth). Why did you do that? What were you thinking? What they described was a lot like this.
Congrats👏🏼to Prof. Katja Fiehler on the LOEWE TOP Professorship!🎉With the funding, she will continue her work at @jlugiessen.bsky.social + will co-lead the🆕cluster of excellence "The Adaptive Mind (TAM)", with partners at @unimarburg.bsky.social + @tuda.bsky.social ➡️ www.linkedin.com/posts/proloe...
Scicomm matters now more than ever!
Returning from a trip to rural USA, realizing the messages so familiar to is are not getting out - both in terms of 1) disruptions to US science and 2) healthcare misinformation.

Der Schritt war überfällig. Viel zu lange schon profitiert die Homöopathie von Privilegien im Arzneimittelgesetz und Sozialgesetzbuch, die sie in den Rang einer ernstzunehmenden Heilslehre heben.

The background is dark and there is a Christmas tree on the right hand side. The tree looks taller than him and is decorated with festive baubles etc. Göttingen University / L Korrossy
