Would you have a look at the complete #MPINAT_ABC (again) if we summarized it on our website?
Did you enjoy the #MPINAT_ABC?
🔠#ThatsIt: After 26 weeks, we conclude our #MPINAT_ABC. Of course, there are more terms for each letter that describe our institute. How would you fill your personal institute ABC 💭? We are looking forward to your answers!
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #Z like Zoom
… in #microscopy🔬 – From (#cryo) #EM and (fluorescence) #LightMicroscopy to #LiveCellMicroscopy: With these “zooming” technologies, our scientific facilities support the departments and groups at #MPINAT in their research. https://www.mpinat.mpg.de/scientific-service
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #W like Workshops
Our technical services and workshops support our scientists in everything to do with software💻, conversions🔨, maintenance🔬, and so on. Thanks to all for the support! Read more about our facilities here: https://www.mpinat.mpg.de/646211/technical
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #T like Translational research In the area of #translationalresearch, three teams at our institute are linking basic research 🔬 with clinically applicable knowledge 🩺.
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #P like #PatchClamp
A method for measuring the extraordinarily weak electric current through a single open #ionchannel in a #nervecell membrane. For this, Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann received the #NobelPrize for #Physiology or #Medicine 🏅 in 1991.
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #O like Organization
#Science is the focus at a #research institute. Yet it takes secretaries’ offices & administration to keep our MPI-NAT running. Therefore, a big Thank You to all who make the scientific work at our institute possible! 🙂
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #N like Neurobiology
How is our nervous system structured and how does it work? An emeritus group and two departments at our institute dedicate their research to these central question of #neurobiology. Find out more here 👇.
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #L like Literaturherbst
It’s hard to imagine #Göttingen without it – the #Literaturherbst📚. Together with the @mpids, @mps, @mpimmg & @subugoe we take part with our scientific lecture series, where renowned scientists present their research results and books.
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #K like Kindergarten
Our institute supports the compatibility of family and career with three nurseries 🧸🖍🎈, two at the #CityCampus with 30 places and one at the #FassbergCampus with 106. The operator is the Kinderhaus Göttingen e.V. https://www.mpinat.mpg.de/day-care

🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #I like IMPRS International Max Planck Research Schools – a doctoral program 🎓 of the @maxplanckpress to provide structured training with excellent research conditions for international PhD candidates. We are in charge of four #IMPRS: https://www.mpinat.mpg.de/phd
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #H like High, higher, highest resolution @Stefan_W_Hell and his team achieved this with the development of the #STED microscope. With the 2014 #NobelPrize in Chemistry, he was recognized for founding the research field of fluorescence nanoscopy. ⬇
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #G like #Göttingen: Where our institute is at home.
Facts (as of 2019):
💡 134,000 inhabitants
💡 More than 33,000 students
💡 1 university and 2 universities of applied sciences
💡 More than 15 research institutions
💡 More than 40 #NobelPrize winners
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #F like FLASH What do you think of when you hear the term #FLASH?
We think of the “Fast Low Angle Shot” technology of Jens Frahm. Read more about the revolutionary #MRI technology in our thread. Don’t miss the videos! 👇
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #E like E-bikes
On the way from the #FassbergCampus to the #CityCampus or the other way around? Employees can use our e-bikes 🚴! With some motorized help, the Fassberg is no longer as big a challenge 😉.
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #D like Dynamics and Self-Organization We are not alone on the Fassberg. We share one of our locations with @mpids (highlighted blue), whose scientists investigate how interacting parts independently organize themselves into complex systems.
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #C like Campus
One institute – two locations🏢🏢
One part of our institute is located on Fassberg, the other opposite @yourUMG. We will let you decide where it is more comfortable to cycle to😉. #CityCampus #FassbergCampus https://www.mpinat.mpg.de/644001/contact
🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #B like BioDiversum
