This month - in addition to hosting our 8th annual retreat in Berlin - we welcome two SFB1315 Lecture Series speakers to Berlin. We also celebrate science communication as Matthew Larkum and Tim Zolnik get on stage 04.11.2025 at Berlin Brains/Berlin Science Week and Petra Ritter gives this year's METIS lecture. Read about these events and more in this month's issue.

Looking forward to meeting soon!

Behind the scenes of EMBO Press – Transparent Publishing and Open Science
Nov 11, 2025 4:00 pm CET | 16:00 BCCN/hybrid | ZOOM ID: 7754910236
|
|
Ioannis Papaioannou, scientific editor at The EMBO Journal will take you behind the scenes of scientific publishing at EMBO Press. Dr. Papaioannou will provide an overview of the editorial process of the four journals published by EMBO as an academic organization – The EMBO Journal, EMBO Reports, Molecular Systems Biology, and EMBO Molecular Medicine – and present a brief overview of the policies that EMBO Press has implemented. He will explain how editors make decisions, organize the peer review process and work with authors to improve the revised manuscript. He will also talk about Open Science and transparency, about new initiatives such as refereed preprints and the journal-independent review platform Review Commons, and about efforts EMBO is making to prevent errors and scientific misconduct from entering the scientific literature.

RNA basis of memory
|
Nov 18, 2025 4:00 pm CET | BCCN Lecture Hall Philippstraße 13, 10115 | ZOOM ID: 7754910236
|
|
Learning relies on neuronal plasticity through the dynamic modification of proteome repertoire. Among the mechanisms that trigger proteome remodeling, activity-dependent transcription and -translation programs have been shown to be essential for learning and memory. Yet, alternative splicing is the main driver of proteome diversification and its regulation emerges to dramatically impact on the neuronal proteome upon stimulation. Surprisingly, its role in learning and memory remains largely unexplored. In the lab, we are exploring splicing regulation after learning and its role in memory formation.

This invited talk is hosted by SFB1315 project A05 (Annapoorani Udhayachandran, postdoc).

DFG Tutorial

Mitigating Bias in Scientific Evaluation and Decision-Making Processes
|
|
Three modules include (i) bias, (ii) examples of bias and its impact on scientific evaluation and decision making processes, and (iii) mitigating bias in scientific evaluation and decision-making processes.

DFG Update
|
|
|
In the context of DFG funding, the funding agreement stipulates that “results derived from DFG-funded projects” must include a reference to the funding in publications. In scholarly publications, funding acknowledgements are now standard practice and are therefore mandatory under the DFG’s funding guidelines. In addition, funding acknowledgements should also be included in the context of industrial property rights, in popular science publications, in lectures, when publishing datasets, and on instrumentation and vehicles, in the customary form in each case. Funding must be referenced by means of an acknowledgement if there is a substantial and verifiable link between the funding and the publication. The researchers responsible for the publication are accountable for ensuring that this link between the funding and the referenced project exists and that this is correctly indicated.
