In the 20 years since the term “microplastics” was first coined, a rapidly growing body of research has consistently shown how pervasive and problematic the pollutants have become. A new #ScienceReview provides an overview of this research and the progress made in understanding #microplastics. bit.ly/4doTICB

Congratulation to our alumna Sina and our collaboration partners from the Hartig and Peter Labs @UniKonstanz on our joint paper on cooperative binding of guanidines into the guanidine-II riboswitch in NAR Genomics and Bioinform. @univienna @cemess_vienna academic.oup.com/nargab/arti…

Cooperative binding of bivalent ligands yields new insights into the guanidine-II riboswitch

Abstract. Riboswitches are involved in regulating the gene expression in bacteria. They are located within the untranslated regions of bacterial messenger

“Research & innovation at the heart of our economy - the driver of competitiveness.” Wise words from @EU_Commission President @vonderLeyen as Mario Draghi presented landmark report on EU competitiveness. Report & in-depth analysis, with support for ERC⬇️ commission.europa.eu/topics/…
Maria Leptin@mleptin9 Sep 2024
Still digesting the landmark #Draghireport, but great to see the emphasis on R&I. Very happy with proposal to double support to ground-breaking fundamental research via the European Research Council! And the stance on preserving the ERC's independence. commission.europa.eu/topics/…

The Draghi report on EU competitiveness

Read Mario Draghi's report on the future of European competitiveness, which lays out clear recommendations on how Europe can boost its economic growth.

Success of 'Stay Inspired': Niedersachsen two-year bridging grants for researchers whose proposals were ranked "A", but unfunded for lack of ERC budget, led to ALL those re-applying getting their ERC grant second time round! Welcome example for administrations and countries!

Each year, about 800 million tires become waste. As they wear down—from contact with the road or the friction of the brakes—they shed chemical-laden particles, and those chemicals, it turns out, can find their way into crops. buff.ly/4cExWLV
