On this day, 70 years ago, as an attaché of the Icelandic Olympic team, my great-uncle helped welcome the Olympic flame in Cortina. I have this commemorative diploma hanging on my wall 🙂 Now it’s there again 🙂 #MilanoCortina2026

Ten years seems a lot of time in science :-) After our attempt to write a comprehensive reflection on the pentose phosphate pathway in 2015, we teamed up again to write about glycolysis. Metabolism rocks & I have plans for 2035 :-) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/br…

Registration is open for our St Nicholaus Symposium, a meanwhile traditional event to get our Berlin Mass Spectrometry community together @ChariteBerlin @MDC_Berlin , and @BerlinUAlliance

We don't know the (phenotypic) consequences of most mutations. Good news, the proteome can help! And it predicts phenotypes in new environments. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Difficult to predict Nobel Prizes... but if you would ask me for a gut feeling, I would look closely at Metabolism this year.

the sign is still there, but the the once proud, highest tree of Berlin is gone. Lost in the storm. #monuments of climate change.

@AdrianoAguzzi Glorified spelling checkers can still pose dangers, as much as they can do good things, like saving lots of time. They are tools, and with all tools, you can do good and bad things. We wouldn't stop the selling of screwdrivers, because you need them to assemble atomic bombs :-)

Are you a theoretical biologist intererested in the ecology and evolution of metabolic interactions among microorganisms? Do you like to work with experimentalists? Do you have a PhD and experience in modelling + statistics? Then this might be for you: shorturl.at/iiiOv

Registration is now open for early-career researchers to apply for a funded place at our Workshop on Revisiting Metabolic Fundamentals, organised by @lydfinley& @WilhelmPalm. Find out more and apply at biologists.com/workshops/apri… #BiologistsWorkshops

Vividly remember the journal club when we discussed this manuscript- 15 years ago- now retracted, 15 years later. Take home message: if you make big claims, try to have direct evidence - in this case AS analytics, which would have been availbe at the time nature.com/articles/d4158…

Why are antiungals often ineffective? We mined current clinical guidelines, and found that many drugs that are administered to patients with high risk of fungal infections, interfere with antifungals. doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.…

The Yeast2025 meeting in Paris is over, and was so much fun. It was exciting to see a room full of yeast biologists, with more than 500 people. It was also great to be part of the dream team of organizers, led by Gilles Fischer!

Registration is open (and free) for this year's Midwest Metabolism/Translational Research in Mitochondrial Metabolism in Aging and Disease (TRiMAD) Annual Conference at the University of Michigan November 10–11, 2025. Hope to see you there! vai.org/event/2025-mid…

Loa Loa, an eye worm infection, is a neglected tropical disease. Diagnostics is only self-reporting, i.e. if some sees a worm in your eye. Proteomics can now help to indify biomarkers and to develop diagnostics #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">academic.oup.com/jid/advance-ar…
