NeurodivergNet is a grassroots network founded by and for neurodivergent employees of the Max Planck Society. A place where people can connect & support one another, as well as a platform for collaboration on raising awareness and advocating for accessibility in the field of #neurodiversity.
With an emphasis on first-hand accounts, this collection @elife.bsky.social provides insights into the diverse experiences of #neurodivergent academics. It also highlights ways that research could become more neuroinclusive. elifesciences.org/collections/... w/th @schulzscience.bsky.social
#AuthentiSci is a web-based tool that allows scientists to verify scientific information in media articles and the general public to suggest articles for verification. It was developed by the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics and the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. authentisci.com

Neue #Antibiotika werden für den Kampf gegen resistente Krankheitserreger dringend gebraucht. Helge Bode und Tobias Erb vom Max-Planck-Institut für terrestrische Mikrobiologie haben neue Wege gefunden, diese schneller über molekulare Fertigungsstraßen herzustellen www.mpg.de/26296724/neu... #Medizin

Project Hail Mary is a beautiful brilliant film. But molecular biologists be warned there's a deeply disturbing scene midway through when Ryan Gosling's scientist places two eppendorfs directly next to each other in an otherwise empty unbalanced microcentrifuge & sets it spinning with wild abandon.
The pretty-in-purple Pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris)
Spring is coming 💜 The pretty-in-purple Pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris) is now a rare plant, restricted to just a few chalk and limestone grasslands. Steeped in legend, it flowers at #Easter, so is known as the 'anemone of Passiontide'.

Biologists in Europe, the Middle East and U.S. planted 360 small plots of the thale cress Arabidopsis thaliana in various types of climates from alpine to desert. Their findings show that genetic diversity is crucial for the survival of plant populations. #biodiversity @plantevolution.bsky.social
I've always shied away from social media – but current times have changed this. The categories shaping our lives are being challenged rapidly & profoundly. That's why I've launched FoD: to explore where these trends are leading.The future of difference isn't predetermined - join the conversation
Vielen Dank! 🙏 Dieses Lob geben wir gerne an die Redakteurin und Illustratorin weiter. Die Zebrafische sind sehr schön 🤩
Viel Spaß beim Lesen! 📖

This chart goes a long way in explaining why Orbán’s system is under real pressure for the first time. The growth that sustained it has stalled—and with it, the political bargain that kept voters on board. I tried to unpack what that means.

At its most recent meeting, the Senate of the Max Planck Society decided to rename the “Max Planck Institute for the Study of Multi-Religious and Multi-Ethnic Societies” in Göttingen as the “Max Planck Institute for Political and Social Sciences” as part of a scientific reorientation.
The Max Planck Institute for Political and Social Sciences in Göttingen is now beginning its work.
Political scientist Ursula Daxecker - left - and sociologist Steffen Mau - right - have been appointed to the MPI for Political and Social Sciences in Göttingen.
A new beginning in Göttingen 👋🤗 The #MaxPlanckInstitute for Political and Social Sciences launches under Ursula Daxecker & Steffen Mau addressing social & political challenges, including democratic backsliding, social inequality & conflict www.ips.mpg.de @steffenmau.bsky.social
Homepage of the Flora Incognita app
Spring is coming! 💐🌷🪻 If you need help identifying #plants, get the #FloraIncognita app now! It‘s free, and your findings make a valuable contribution to global #biodiversity research.
What I like here is that the solution comes from the students themselves "multiple low-stakes attempts rather than single high-pressure performances, conversations rather than presentations, uncapped formative practice that builds confidence, and peer explanation normalised as a routine activity"
Gauguin? Matisse? Miró? Well, actually, it’s… sea slug!😊🐌🌊 A team at @ Max Planck Institute of Colloids & Interfaces discovered that #nudibranchs - called “the #butterflies of the #sea” - produce their vibrant glow through structural colouration, arranged in pixel-like patterns @mpici.bsky.social
Ever wonder why one #cookie leads to five...or six or seven? 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪Turns out #sugar is a most refined 😉manipulator! It alters the neural connections within our #brain’s reward system & makes us crave more (& MORE!) sweet tastes😋. Read more: www.mpg.de/26278931/how... @mpi-metabolism.bsky.social
Der Abelpreis 2026 für Gerd Faltings würdigt eine herausragende wissenschaftliche Leistung – und unterstreicht die internationale Stärke des Max-Planck-Instituts für Mathematik mit zwei Fields-Medaillenträgern und einem Breakthrough-Preisträger. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Huge congratulations to Gerd Faltings, our director emeritus at the Max Planck Institute for #Mathematics in Bonn, on receiving the 2026 #AbelPrize, an annual mathematics lifetime-achievement award often called the “Nobel Prize of math” !🎉😀www.mpg.de/26279645/gerd-faltings-2...

Transatlantic research is strong—but also vulnerable. This is the moment to defend academic freedom, sustain collaboration, and keep opportunities open. Science remains a global endeavor. My full speech at the German Consulate in New York: www.mpg.de/26279100/202...
