Our paper is finally out: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…! Together with the @VolkerHaucke lab we showed that loss of intersectin proteins causes repetitive behaviours. Congratulations and thanks to first author @DVollw and all our co-authors, especially also from the @pboehmsturm lab!

If you have been wondering about the importance of the Ena/VASP family of actin nucleators for dendritic cell migration, have a look at our preprint at biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… - Great thanks to Sai Prasanna Visweshwaran and all co-authors!

@FrauStehr Das tut mir sehr leid, dass Corona bei Dir so zugeschlagen hat. Man sollte meinen, dass Du mit ME/CFS schon genug gestraft warst, aber so funktioniert das ja leider nicht ☹️ Ich drücke auf jeden Fall auch ganz doll die Daumen, dass es Dir bald wieder besser geht!

After almost 6 years, multiple quarantines and multiple rounds of revision, my postdoc paper is finally out @ScienceAdvances! Check it out science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… A (1/12)🧵🥳

I would like to share my joy that our paper on the role of the Alzheimer risk factor CALM in the endocytosis of GluA1-AMPARs is finally out (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…) thanks to the great work of the talented postdoc Domenico Azarnia Tehran and our many supportive collaborators!

🫵TU Kaiserslautern is offering a W1 Junior Professorship with W2 Tenure in the field of Molecular Biology. Please have a look at jobs.uni-kl.de/jobposting/014… for details. Please share this with any young scientist who might be interested, neuroscientists are highly welcome 🙂

Domenico and I are happy that our review article on the presynaptic functions of endocytic proteins is out 🙂 Until April 12th the publisher provides free access via the following link if you want to have a look: authors.elsevier.com/a/1edsP3Q9h2Aq…

👉PhD students wanted!!! Shiny new cell biology lab at TU Kaiserslautern welcomes enthusiastic PhD students to join us. Find out how endocytic proteins help you to think, combat cell stress or let cells adhere. Please check out bio.uni-kl.de/en/nanophysiol… and contact me!

@Shawn__Ferguson That is a really cool picture - I would be worried :-)

Thanks again to Barth von Rossum for his great help with the beautiful illustrations in our review! @BarthvanRossum

Endocytosis is a great means to rapidly alter the cell surface proteome and therefore should be helpful to combat cell stress. Have a look at our new review on "Endocytosis in the adaptation to cellular stress" for a detailed discussion: cell-stress.com/advance-public…

@LipsteinNoa I am sorry to hear that, good luck with your search. I keep my fingers crossed that you find something nice!

@tmaritzen Congrats! I was just refused one apartment in Berlin...

Next step taken: Just signed rental contract for a nice apartment in Kaiserslautern🙂

Beautiful rainbow over Berlin Karow 🙂

I am looking for talented PhD students to join my new lab at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern. For details please see my job posting at jobrxiv.org/job/technische… Please RT.

Recently heard about jobrxiv.org, a free job board for scientists. I had really been waiting for something like that since many sites take tons of money for posting a job. Justed checked it out, easy to use, now waiting for approval of my posting...

We were invited to write a short commentary on our recent NCB article “Endocytic regulation of cellular ion homeostasis controls lysosome biogenesis” for "Autophagy". So at doi.org/10.1080/155486… you can now find a short discussion of our work.

Today I got my official certificate of appointment as professor of nanophysiology at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern 🙂 where I will start in September - it is starting to feel real...
