Tutkijat ovat löytäneet vieraan (#alien) näköisen uuden jättivirusten populaation Bostonin läheltä maaperästä. Virukset ovat bakteerien kokoluokkaa ja niiden perimä vastaa kooltaan joidenkin monisoluisten eliöiden perimää. #MaxPlanck -instituutin ja #UniversityofMassachusetts #Amherst tutkijat toteavat kuinka vähän vielä tiedämme planeetta maan elokehästä.

Nightingales are great singers, but how well can they hit the tone? 🎶 Scientists from Daniela Vallentin’s group at our institute found that nightingales can imitate the pitch of whistles in real time! Read more: https://www.bi.mpg.de/news/2023-07-vallentin

A day to experiment, discover and wonder: The Max Planck Day! On the occasion of its 75th anniversary, the Max Planck Society hosted a “science market” in their founding city Göttingen. We had great fun supervising hands-on experiments, discussing science and interacting with so many interested people, amongst others the new president of the Max Planck Society, Patrick Cramer!

Can pigeons dream? A new study suggests that pigeons might be flying in their dreams: Researchers studied sleeping pigeons and found brain activity in areas that process visual signals and information from the wings during REM sleep. Read more: https://www.bi.mpg.de/news/2023-06-rattenborg

How do we see the world? Scientists from the Borst department found a new microcircuit in the OFF pathway of the visual system of fruit flies. It transforms excitatory into inhibitory signals and thus leverages a single type of signal for multiple purposes. Read more: https://www.bi.mpg.de/news/2023-05-borst?c=2333712

"Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve." --Max Planck

We are proud to highlight the success of our two Lise Meitner Reseach Groups: Lisa Fenk and her team explore visual perception in fruit flies and Daniela Vallentin and her group decode songbirds' vocal behavior.

The Lise Meitner Research Groups are an excellence program of the Max Planck Society with the aim to promote highly qualified female scientists at an early stage of their career.
