Still a few days left to submit your abstract and come share and discuss your science with the stem cell community in Vienna. Abstract deadline 17th of February. Looking forward to welcoming many of you here!

1. It's chalk talk season!, chalk talks (or for that matter thesis defences, comps exams etc.) are often thought of as sort of an exam where we test a person's mental agility, ability to think on the fly, preparation. I used to think so too, but I've changed my mind . Here's why

#NewPI Q: when attempting to recruit technicians and/or post-docs is there pay-off to posting ads on $$ journal websites? Or do social media and institutional/uni websites suffice?

Our newly joined group leader Stephanie Ellis is looking for a team-oriented research technician! First goals will be to set up lab operations/infrastructure, and to carry out foundational experiments that will set the lab on track! bit.ly/3LlZecz #sciencejobs

Our story on the role of p53 and cell competition in cell migration and epithelial repair is out in @sciencemagazine! Congratulations to an amazing cast of 80% women authors. Thanks to Kasia Kozyrska and Giulia Pilia, phenomenal at driving this project! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

As the war continues, the work of Ukrainian researchers is becoming increasingly difficult. As a sign of solidarity and cooperation, the #ÖAW has taken an emergency measure to enable scientists from 🇺🇦 to continue their work in Austria. #PleaseShare oeaw.ac.at/en/news/oeaw-e…

This is neat! The contribution of keratins (and IF networks in general) to mechanosensing is such an understudied and important topic.

I am thrilled to be joining the Max Perutz Labs Vienna in beautiful Vienna as an Assistant Professor at MedUni Wien! My lab will study what viruses do with their hosts using an array of systems biology approaches. #LoveVirology

Wir gratulieren allen Preisträger:innen des Wittgenstein-Preises und der START-Preise 2023! 👏🏻🎉 #Wittgenstein #START-Preise FWF

Super excited and grateful to be a recipient of the FWF START prize this year. Now my team can really go wild with some crazy experiments to better understand fitness and fitness sensing in the skin! Thanks to everyone that supports me and congrats to the other winners 🎉💪

Such a cool story and glad we could contribute just a tiny little bit to the already very impressive tour-de-force effort. Congrats Peter and team :)
