'Malaria remains a moving target'

Just a quick reminder: books can transform lives!😊😉Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton, @NASA's lead software engineer on Project Apollo, standing next to the pile of code she & her team produced that took humanity to the moon in 1969. #WorldBookDay https://t.co/2RfPPVngbs

'Malaria remains a moving target': interview with Elena Levashina on the state of #malaria research https://t.co/Fub1hLqiup #WorldMalariaDay @e_levashina - Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin https://t.co/N6P0Uxf9Tp

This allows us to identify the structure of proteins and metabolites. Sensitive, high-throughput mass spectrometry platforms are used in our laboratory for the identification of biosignatures for psychiatric disorders and the response towards antidepressant drugs. Our ultimate goal is to complement imprecise DSM-based clinical parameters with molecular biosignatures to improve patient diagnosis, stratification and treatment.'

Accompany the white shark on a seal hunt

The Great White Shark is one of the most fascinating marine animals on earth. However, many films and books portray it as an insatiable predator - but hardly anything is known about its hunting behavior. An international team of scientists, including researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Radolfzell, has now observed white sharks hunting seals off the coast of South Africa.
