The next Lady Mary Montagu Lecture Series is starting soon! ✨ The lectures are held online and free of charge. You are cordially invited to attend. 😊 register via https://dgfi.org/gleichstellung/lady-mary/ 25.3.2026, 4-6pm, Prof. Dr. Sarina RAVENS, Hannover In this series of lectures, the DGfI Commission on Gender Equality and Career Development provides a forum for excellent female immunologists. They will share their exciting research, but also talk about their experiences in forming a career as women in STEM (=MINT). Chair: Prof. Dr. Stella Autentieth About the Speaker: Prof. Dr. Sarina Ravens is Professor of Systems Human Immunology at MHH. She leads a junior research group at the Institute of Immunology and is a member of the Cluster of Excellence RESIST - Resolving Infection Susceptibility. Her research centers on the development and functions of γδ T cells in infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on early life events. Her group aims to define immune mechanisms and identify immune markers that predict susceptibility to infection across early life. She is a role model for women in immunology, highlighted by the 2024 EFIS Ita-Askonas Prize. Spokesperson for the Commission Sabrina B.

In academia, hard work is expected—but taking a break is effort well spent, too How one researcher learned the importance of taking time away from work

"After we talked through the experiment, the postdoc said, 'I think it’s time to go home and get some sleep.' He added with a smile, 'Taking a break is also hard work, you know?'

Those comments planted the seed of a new approach." #NationalPostdocAppreciationWeek https://scim.ag/4n7LNPZ

Are you interested in nutrition and immunology? Very excited to share our new study about the effects of zinc supplementation on NK cells and ILCs. Surprisingly, overall 72% of our study participants were classified as zinc deficient. translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
