13-Nov-2025 Fluorescence imaging explained: Microscopic life in many colors Morgridge Institute for Research Imagine a future in human health where cardiac muscles damaged by heart disease or spines devastated by cord injuries don’t just scar over but could be regrown to resume normal, healthy function. To realize this dream, scientists work to visualize the incredible power of other organisms — such as zebrafish and flatworms — to regrow their tissues and organs following injury. Their tool of choice? Fluorescence microscopy.

13-Nov-2025 Taking to the highsea with a young research spirit Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research On board the Polarstern research vessel, an international group of young scientists will immerse in the fascinating world of marine research. They are not only learning the basic methods of oceanography, but also the difficult art of communicating science in a comprehensible and inspiring manner. For the fifth time now, the Alfred Wegener Institute is organising this extraordinary training programme with a host of partners. This year once again under the direction of Professor Karen Wiltshire (now at Trinity College in Dublin), the participants benefit from a unique opportunity to experience research, international cooperation and scientific adventure first-hand. For the first time, new dedicated training is also being provided for young up-coming ocean teachers. This means that the fascination of marine research can reach even more young people in the future.
