The birth of molecular oxygen in Photosystem II!

Wonderful work from our institute, my colleagues Athina Zouni, Holger Dobbek (and friends!) in the Leonor Michaelis Haus.

Still astounding to me that for PSII, the O2 is a waste product! It only wants the electrons...

"Covid was the fourth leading cause of death in the United States last year, dropping from its place as the third leading cause in 2020 and 2021, when virus fatalities were superseded only by heart disease and cancer, the National Center for Health Statistics reported on Thursday."

'But Eli Lilly’s preliminary donanemab results also reveal a sobering risk of brain swelling and hemorrhaging, side effects that the company disclosed may be linked to two—perhaps three—deaths in the clinical trial and that echo hazards seen with lecanemab, which is being marketed by Eisai and Biogen.'

If you have a billion dollars, covering a $6,000-a-month tuition is the same relative cost as someone with $60,000 being asked to pay 36 cents.

If you could earn the close friendship of a Supreme Justice for 36 cents a month, wouldn't you?

EMBL’s Dey group embarked on 2nd annual ‘labbatical’ to step outside daily research tasks w/ help of single-celled model organisms.

The group applied its usual high-tech tools and world-class expertise, but with a totally different model organism.
