🧬 How DNA nanorobots can alter artificial cells 🤖

Professor Laura Na Liu and her interdisciplinary team at the @unistuttgart have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of #biological membranes with the help of “DNA origami”. They used DNA origami structures as reconfigurable #nanorobots that can reversibly change their shape and thereby influence their immediate environment in the micrometer range.

What is this good for? 🤔

When applied to living cells, this system can facilitate the transportation of therapeutic proteins or enzymes to their targets in the cell. It thus offers new possibilities for the administration of drugs and other therapeutic interventions. 💊

🔗 Find out how Na Liu and her team bring physics and biology together to reveal this mechanism!

☀️🛋️ Ever wished your weekend started a day early? You're not alone, but there are also opponents of the four-day working week.

The four-day working week debate is making waves, and it’s not just about getting more time off – it’s about working smarter, feeling better and staying more productive.

But after a pilot study with 45 companies in Germany, not everyone is convinced: longer daily workhours, a loss of flexibility and troubles with customer contact are some of the reasons cited by employees and companies that decided against a shorter working week. In the end, however, most participants opted to stay with the four-day week after the trial period. 📅💼

🤖 Could robots soon feel what they are touching❓

Computer scientist Roberto Calandra explains how exactly this could work in the latest episode of the DAAD video series "Science in a Nutshell".

🏥 For nursing work or cancer diagnostics, this would be a revolution. Machines would then be equipped with tactile abilities similar to those of humans, and could for example gently support elderly people or feel for tumours.

Roberto Calandra is a Professor of Explainable AI at the TU Dresden and the Zuse School for AI SECAI. His research in robotics and AI resulted in a tactile sensor that might revolutionise care work, e-commerce and even medicine.

👨‍👩‍👦 👭 👨‍👧‍👦 Are you not planning a research stay alone, but with your partner and possibly your children? Let the Dual Career Network Germany assist you and your partner in planning your endeavour!

💡 What is a dual career service?

A dual career service is a contact point that employers provide to the partners of their new or prospective top employees who are moving with them. Here they receive information, advice and contacts tailored to their needs in order to be able to continue their careers at the new location.

💡 How does dual career consultation work?

The aim of dual career advice is to speed up the job search for the partner moving with an internationally mobile researcher. The following services are usually offered:

✔️ Information on the regional labour market

✔️ Advice on self-marketing (e.g. document check)

✔️ Assistance with all questions relating to the application process and academic or professional career development

✔️ Networking with HR managers

🌐 The Dual Career Network Germany (DCND) was founded by 20 university dual career services. Its aim is to professionalise and establish dual career consulting.

The DCND presents a wealth of information and resources from its member dual-career services. Read more about what the network has to offer internationally mobile couples on their website! 🖱️

There are various organisations in Germany that fund research projects and individual researchers 💸

The largest organisations that award financial support to individuals and their research projects are

➡️the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG)

➡️the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)

➡️and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation

In addition to these large funding organisations, many other public and private bodies provide financial support for science and research. Important donors include not only Germany’s federal and state governments, but also the European Union. A large number of charitable foundations have also set themselves the goal of supporting research and junior researchers.

When it comes to the support and funding of research projects, non-university research institutions and industry play a major role in Germany’s funding system. They especially support young researchers with job offers.

📝 Visa requirements for non-EU citizens

A visa will be required if you are not from the EU, a country of the European Economic Area or Switzerland and intend to work as a researcher in Germany. You will have to apply for the respective visa in your country of residence by visiting the relevant German diplomatic mission – an embassy or consulate – in person.

Depending on what you wish to do in Germany, special visa are available to you as a researcher:

➡️ a visa for studying

➡️ a visa for researchers and scientists or

➡️ an EU Blue Card, a special residence title for international academics.

Make sure to check in good time with the German diplomatic mission in your country of residence to find out which conditions apply to you and which requirements you will need to meet. You should also check if there are any documents that need to be translated into German before your visa application or if any of your qualifications need to be officially recognised.

You can find more information and useful links on our website. (Link in Bio)

After your visa is approved, once you have arrived in Germany you will have to apply for a residence permit, usually at the local foreigners’ office or immigration office (Ausländerbehörde or Landesamt für Einwanderung). Some countries, such as Australia, Israel, Japan and the USA, have agreements with Germany: their citizens do not need an entry visa and only have to obtain the required residence permits after arrival.

Germany is one of the leading actors in the pursuit of researching, fighting and ultimately annihilating cancer. The Research in Germany website for international researchers dedicates an entire page to the topic of cancer research.

As more people get older, cancer rates are rising. According to the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), more than 450,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year in Germany, and the disease is the country’s second most common cause of death. At the same time, considerable scientific advancements in the last decades have also led to more and more cancer patients surviving their illness.

So if you are planning to do cancer research in Germany and are looking for funding as well as the right people that can help you join the fight against cancer in Germany, visit the Research in Germany website and make sure to benefit from this guide! 💡

🤔 Choosing the right PhD path 🗺️ There is not just one route to a doctoral degree in Germany. Which suits you best will depend on various factors: such as your subject area, your research project, the university at which you want to do your PhD, and your individual circumstances. Essentially, however, a distinction can be made between two types of PhD:

➡️ the individual doctorate, which is very widespread in Germany,

➡️ and the structured programme, which is similar to the PhD system to be found in the Anglo-Saxon world.
