Over 3 days, nearly 300 high-school students from Switzerland and Germany visited the FMI for Tage der Genforschung. They got a glimpse of our research, met FMI scientists, and may now be inspired to pursue a career in the life sciences. A big thank you to our volunteers! 👏🔬

Who's the mysterious figure in a cape sweeping through Brno? Rumor has it, each fold tells a worm’s life story. Is it a scientist? A performer? Both? Find out as our Lucas Morales takes the stage at the EU-LIFE #ScienceVision contest with a wildly creative research-inspired act!

Huge congrats to Konstantina Nikolakopoulou for defending her PhD this week! She used organoids to study how the lining of the uterus repairs and regenerates — fascinating and much-needed work on modelling the menstrual cycle 👏

This week, an FMI delegation is at CEITEC for the EU-LIFE Community Meeting, discussing strategy, scicomm, EDI and more with other leading life science institutes. Special highlight: Lucas Morales will perform in the #ScienceVision Contest, merging science and creativity🕺

Last week, some FMI researchers took part in the Dreiländerlauf — a one-of-a-kind race crossing Switzerland, France and Germany. Congratulations to our team for their incredible stamina! 🏃

1/6 Why does the brain maintain such precise excitatory-inhibitory balance? Our new preprint explores a provocative idea: Small, targeted deviations from this balance may serve a purpose: to encode local error signals for learning. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… led by Julian Rossbroich

Last week, science met showbiz at the #ScienceVision Contest in Brno! Researchers from across Europe brought their work to life with music, dance & lyrics. Shoutout to our Lucas Morales for his moving C. elegans performance, and congrats to the winners! ✨

In a eLife - the journal study, FMI researchers show that memory storage may rely on dynamic interplay between excitatory and inhibitory neurons — challenging the idea of stable activity patterns in memory networks. fmi.ch/news-events/ar…

Happy #PrideMonth! We celebrate LGBTQ+ voices in science and beyond—but many still face discrimination & violence. We stand for dignity, safety & equity for all 🌈

Neurons deep in the brain don't just start movement — they also precisely suppress it, finds a new nature study from Silvia Arber’s team at the FMI and the Biozentrum, University of Basel. The findings may shed light on disorders like Parkinson’s. fmi.ch/news-events/ar…
