Wissenschaft im Dialog @w-i-d.de · 05/03/2026
Die Gewinner*innen des Hochschulwettbewerbs 2026 stehen fest! Sie erhalten je 10.000 Euro zur Umsetzung ihrer Projekte. Die Teams bringen aktuelle medizinische Forschung in den Dialog mit Bürger*innen. Alle Infos zu den preisgekrönten Projekten unter: wissenschaft-im-dialog.de/projekte/hoc...
Drei junge Menschen sitzen an einem Tisch mit Laptops und arbeiten gemeinsam; zwei von ihnen geben sich lächelnd die Hand. Das Sharepic ist violett gestaltet und trägt den Text “Ausgezeichnet im Hochschulwettbewerb 2026 - Zehn junge Teams kommunizieren die Medizin der Zukunft”.
Unten rechts steht das Logo des Wissenschaftsjahres 2026 – Medizin der Zukunft.

Have you ever wondered how a #scicomm enthusiast from Italy might explain the #circadian transcription–translation feedback loop to non-chronobiologists (in German)? 🤌🍝 Highly likely not, and rightly so. But if I’ve managed to make you a little curious, check out the Science Slam below 👇

October has long gone, along with my unrealistic dream of doing a #circadian -themed drawing every day for #Inktober 🖋️ I did manage to finish one drawing though, and since also small achievements are worth celebrating, I thought I’d share it ✍️
Ink cartoon of a tired reindeer holding a coffee mug. The drawing is black and white, except for the red nose.

Curious what happens when you throw off a cell’s groove? Or which props you can use to talk about circadian rhythms (spoiler: not just a 🕒)? Or whether you got the reference in the title right? 👑🦙 Then join us this Saturday, 12-2 pm, at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin @mfnberlin.bsky.social 🧑‍🔬

AI-generated content is flooding the internet, and we're entering a new era of information overload. Watch our latest video to find out how AI slop affects the internet and why kurzgesagt videos will always remain human-made: kgs.link/AISlop
In the middle, there is an AI-generated picture of a duck. Below it, there is a human-illustrated Duck, looking at the other duck in shock, and saying "Wtf is this?"

This October I’m drawing one molecule a day inspired by proteins in pdb @rcsbpdb.bsky.social Day 2/31 Prompt WEAVE N-terminal domain of a Fibrion - a building block of silk fiber produced by silkworms. Pdb: 3UA0 Next prompt is CROWN and I would love your suggestions!

This October I’m drawing one molecule a day inspired by proteins @rcsb.bsky.social Day 1/31 Prompt MUSTACHE Pdb 2QZI Let’s start with something fun: Mr. Potato head’s ‘stache is made of Androgen Receptor that binds testosterone and helps maintain his male phenotype Next prompt: WEAVE suggestions?

That’s all the #mito news for today! And what better way to wrap up a mitochondria dump than with a mito-drawing I made a while ago? Did you catch all the references? Do you have a favorite mito? For now, I’ll just say: good nightochondria 😴 #mitochondria #blueskyart #scicomm #WissKomm #scienceart
A cartoon illustration featuring many mitochondria characters, each paired with a pun ending in “-ochondria.” Examples include “fight-ochondria” (two mitochondria boxing), “spy-ochondria” (in disguise with a trench coat) and “night-ochondria” (under the moon and stars).

Remember Harshita from the previous thread? She’s not just my science-slam buddy. She’s also the first author of a recent paper I tried to design the cover art for. The cover didn’t get accepted, but it may deserve a spot in #blueskyart 🎨 More in the thread below 👇

First #mito -related news of the day: the video of my latest #scienceslam is out! I did it with my former lab neighbour Harshita. We tried to introduce the audience to the mitochondrial theory of aging by acting as two bacteria that 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘸 came together to form a eukaryotic cell 👯

⚠️ Mitochondria dump today ⚠️ Over the past month I’ve received some mito-related news. Since I haven’t shared them yet on Blue̶̶n̶̶a̶̶t̶̶i̶̶v̶̶e̶sky (#academicdadjoke), brace yourself for some mitochondria content today 🔜

We are currently recruiting a bioinformatics/computational biology postdoc to join the infrastructure project of a newly funded large research consortium (SFB-TRR) on Circadian Medicine between Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Universität zu Lübeck ⌚ ⏰ ⏱️ 🕰️ !

Just went through the forms that the kids filled out before our science workshop last Saturday. Had to share some of their gems 👇🏻

We did it! The very first Native Scientist workshop for Italian kids in Cologne was a success 🇮🇹 41 Italian-speaking children explored the wonders of science through hands-on experiments in their heritage language 🧑‍🔬

Been silently lurking here for a while 😶‍🌫️ so I figured it’s time to say something. And what better moment than the start of a new adventure in Berlin? And what better way to start an adventure than with the ISCO conference? Excited for everything scRNA-seq ahead with @libuchauer.bsky.social and team!
