Cytokines meeting coming up Nov 2-5 in Seattle! Fantastic keynote speakers ⬇️.

Sadly, I for my part do absolutely not feel like visiting the US🇺🇸 currently (how far is Portland from Seattle??). Would have loved to catch up with friends and colleagues (@adforu.bsky.social, @ramlabuw.bsky.social, ...)

Paris-Berlin sleeper: low carbon, 2 years old, constantly full, but currently losing SNCF a few million EUR/yr

Intl Jet fuel tax exemptions are 80 years old and cost the EU 22 million EUR/yr for the Paris-Berlin route alone.

And you're cutting... the sleeper?

Super interesting virus: #hepatitas 😅 E virus #HEV!

@daothilab.bsky.social looked into its ORF2 protein and how it counteracts cell-intrinsic immune responses. Congrats Ann-Kathrin, Loan and team, and thanks for having us on board!

Guter Vortrag heute Abend von @cdrosten.bsky.social bei der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften. Wie funktioniert Wissenschaft, wie funktionale Genetik, und was ist "Gain of Function"?

How fitting: just after lunch, we had Stefan Jordan @jordanlab.bsky.social tell us about the huge health benefits of fasting, across all inflammatory diseases. And of course, Interferons are involved… 😅

Keine Ahnung wer Sie sind, und an dem Tweet ist nichts verstörend oder gar falsch. Kinder haben eine erstaunlich hohe Resilienz gegen akutes COVID-19, das ist eine Tatsache, deren molekularen Grundlagen wir in der Studie untersuchten 🤷‍♂️

Second day of the great (as always) #NCII conference @unituebingen.bsky.social. Beautiful overview talk by my old friend Nelson Gekara on homeostatic priming of the immune system through nucleic acid sensing.

Session chaired by my first PhD student Joschka Willemsen 🤩 Am I getting old?! 😳
