""Der Mann, der die Epigenetik populär machte" (Deutschlandfunk). Geboren 1965 in Frankfurt am Main, studierte ich in Marburg und Hamburg Biologie, Anthropologie und Psychologie. Unterstützt von einem Stipendium der Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes (Danke!) promovierte ich im Bereich der Neurobiologie am Zoologischen Institut in Hamburg."

"Harsh P. Bais und seine Kollegen vom Molekularbiologie-Programm des Instituts für Gartenbau und Landschaftsarchitektur der Colorado State University konnten jetzt nachweisen, dass der Erfolg der Flockenblume zum Großteil auf die nicht vorhandene chemische Gegenwehr ihrer neuen Pflanzennachbarn zurück zu führen ist.

"The EBI RDF Platform aims to bring together the efforts of a number of EMBL-EBI resources that provide access to their data using Semantic Web technologies. It provides a unified way to query across resources using the W3C SPARQL query language. We welcome comments or questions via our feedback form."

"Eine eindeutige Erklärung für diese Unterschiede in den Persönlichkeitstypen zwischen Stadt- und Landamseln haben die Wissenschaftler bis jetzt noch nicht. „Möglicherweise müssen Amseln in der schnelllebigen Stadtwelt permanent mit neuen Situationen zurechtkommen, wohingegen das Landleben mit seinen gleichförmigeren Abläufen verlässlichere Lebensbedingungen bietet", vermutet Catarina Miranda vom Max-Planck-Institut für Ornithologie in Radolfzell das Ergebnis. „Die Evolution scheint im Laufe der Besiedlung von Städten daher bestimmte Persönlichkeitstypen begünstigt zu haben", so Miranda. Diese Erklärung wird durch eine jüngst veröffentlichte Studie gestützt: Gene, die wahrscheinlich an der Ausprägung der hier untersuchten Verhaltensweisen beteiligt sind, zeigen in Stadtamseln eine andere Struktur als in den Waldamseln. Die Amselpersönlichkeit scheint also genetisch festgelegt und kann demnach durch Evolution während des Verstädterungprozesses verändert worden sein. ***** Ana Catarina Miranda, Holger Schielzeth, Tanja Sonntag & Jesko Partecke Urbanization and its effects on personality traits: a result of microevolution or phenotypic plasticity?, Global Change Biology, 19 June 2013 Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23681984"

"(PhysOrg.com) -- Imagine being able to drop a toothpick on the head of one particular person standing among 100,000 people in a stadium. It sounds impossible, yet this degree of precision at the cellular level has been demonstrated by researchers affiliated with the Johns Hopkins University Institute for NanoBioTechnology. Their study was published online in June in Nature Nanotechnology."

"Until recently, the disastrous scale of the threat posed by salmon farms to the fauna and National Park of the Aysen region of southern Chile was entirely unknown. The unexpected discovery was made by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization and the University of Gottingen, who were studying acoustic communication among the native whales in the region."

"Researchers at MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research have developed a new mathematical model to describe how the human brain visually identifies objects. The model accurately predicts human performance on certain visual-perception tasks, which suggests that it's a good indication of what actually happens in the brain, and it could also help improve computer object-recognition systems."

Two fictitious high-spirited scientists of the institute, passionate surfers, take off to visit the early Universe. Not to do serious research there but to experience the ultimate ride on the plasma waves of the big bang. However, they quickly realize that they would be stuck without their knowledge of the physics of the early Universe.

To try to illustrate the concept, the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics made the accompanying movie of "Quantum Spin Dynamics in Loop Quantum Gravity." It depicts the quantum evolution of geometry in Loop Quantum Gravity

ScienceDaily (Nov. 20, 2010) - Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have demonstrated quantum entanglement for a quantum state stored in four spatially distinct atomic memories.

A collaborative study by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies uncovered that the tumor suppressor p53 not only stops cells that could become cancerous in their tracks but also controls somatic cell reprogramming.
