Christmas breakfast at @bogdan_lab

Merry Christmas 2025!

Congrats Stefan, great job!

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Great work! Congratulation Michael!

Vier Marburger Projekte erforschen, wie unterschiedliche Zelltypen in Epithelgeweben kommunizieren – vom Darm bis zur Lunge, von Entwicklung bis Alterung. Koordiniert von der @uni-saarland.de. Im Bild (A Chahin) T Worzfeld, M Lehmann, J Großhans, S Bodgan #Zellbiologie #HetCCI #Forschung #UniMarburg

How cells understand each other: Marburg teams analyze cell communication in epithelial tissues within the Priority Programme SPP 2493.

GfE School 2025

Are you in Germany in September (25th-27th) and ready to present your science? no further hesitation and register for the 15th GfE School on "Lineages: Revealing how Cells make Embryos and Tissues" at Schloss Reisensburg: www.vbio.de/gfe-entwickl... all #devbio enthusiasts and interested welcome!

Doctoral (PhD) student position available - epithelial-immune cell interactions in Drosophila wounding

Proud to kick-off #HetCCI, a DFG-funded research consortium in Germany (Priority Programme #SPP2493 on heterotypic cell-cell interactions in epithelia). Follow us if interested in how epithelial cells interact with non-epithelial tissues in different settings! Webpage will follow asap. #cellbiology

That looks fantastic. Jörg told me about this great meeting Have fun!

Marburger Forschende um den Zellphysiologen Sven Bodgan entdecken Doppelfunktion: RASSF8 reguliert Zellmigration & -adhäsion – neue Studie zu #Tumorinvasion in @pnas.org → uni-marburg.de/SiD0vd doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

TUMOR SUPPRESSOR RASSF8 CONTROLS COLLECTIVE CELL MIGRATION

New findings in the Drosophila model shed light on cancer mechanisms, see press release Marburg Universiy: www.uni-marburg.de/de/aktuelles....

Congrats to Dr. Mila Höhne for completing her great defense on novel regulators in invasive collective cell migration

Von Behring-Röntgen Foundation supports ten pioneering research projects in Marburg and Giessen, including Katja Rust (@rustflylab.bsky.social or @KatjaRust) from our department for her exciting Drosophila cachexia cancer project. Congratulations!

Merry Christmas from us and the @bogdanlab.bsky.social !

thanks, Katja recommended bluesky to me, let's see ;-)
