📢 Jornada en homenaje a José Manuel García Verdugo (1953-2025) El 18 de mayo, la @UV_EG acogerá un encuentro que será un homenaje personal y tributo a su contribución a la #Neurociencia, como referente en el estudio de la #neurogénesis adulta 🔗senc.es/jornada-en-hom…

When awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics, Pierre Curie rejected the prize unless he could share it with his wife Marie. In his response, Pierre was adamant that awarding their research on radioactivity without recognising Marie's essential contribution would be unjust.

"All those experiences made me who I am." From being a taxi driver to becoming a Nobel Prize laureate – 2018 chemistry laureate @francesarnold describes how a diversity of experiences shapes you as a human being.

🧠#Conferencia - Hoy, 13 de mayo, en @CosmoCaixa: “El cerebro que ilusiona”, una charla para descubrir cómo la magia explora los mecanismos de la atención, la memoria y la percepción. 🗣️Jordi Camí @the_prbb @UPFBarcelona @fpmaragall 🕖 19 h 🔗 cosmocaixa.org/es/p/el-cerebr…

🧠La charla se enmarca en el ciclo 'El cerebro a través de los sentidos', impulsado por #SENC y @FENSorg dentro del Legacy Programme de #FENS2026 Esta iniciativa impulsa actividades de divulgación para visibilizar la investigación en #Neurociencia fensforum.org/fens-forum-leg…

"Build your opinion on facts, data and knowledge.” Chemistry laureate Ben Feringa stresses the importance of evidence-based beliefs both inside and outside the scientific-community. Watch the full student roundtable here: youtu.be/pE0PB9AayGY #NobelPrize

I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House. Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:

“Your purpose as a scientist is to make discoveries and gift them to humanity. And those discoveries and that knowledge stays with humanity long after you are gone.” - Carolyn Bertozzi on the scientist's purpose in our podcast episode Listen here: bit.ly/4tW7PYN

La #mielina no solo funciona como aislante, sino que es una estructura capaz de adaptarse en tiempo real a la actividad neurona 🧠 👉Investigación #CIBERNED 🔗ciberisciii.es/noticias/la-mi…

“To be successful as a scientist, I think you really need to be curious. You need to be inquisitive. You want to know answers to stuff that you don’t have a good sense on. You have to be stubborn because you’re going to be wrong and you’re going to not get through this. You have to have a long-term perspective. You can go months, years, sometimes making painfully little progress on something – and then something happens and it’s exciting. But if you need immediate gratification, you should not be a scientist. That’s not going to work for you, because there’s very little immediate gratification in this business. You’ve got to be stubborn and you’ve got to have a long-term perspective.” Some career advice from 2025 medicine laureate Fred Ramsdell. He shared the prize with Mary Brunkow and Shimon Sakaguichi for their “discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.”

“Science is fun. To be a scientist, this is a fun job,” said medicine laureate Katalin Karikó. She likened it to being a detective or an investigator trying to solve a crime. “But the end of it, you don’t find a perpetrator, you find a solution, and maybe that solution will help somebody,” she said. Karikó’s pioneering research with her lab partner Drew Weissman was the foundation of the mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 and has paved the way for a host of treatments for cancer, HIV, malaria and other life-threatening diseases. They shared the 2023 medicine prize for their work.
