Cancer is usually thought to be caused by permanent mutations in certain genes, but @classenlab explains how just temporarily disrupting silencing of gene expression in fruit flies can trigger a feedback loop that turns cells cancerous. go.nature.com/3W8mOBs

It is #PrideMonth! We will be using the Pride flag in our profile picture throughout the month of June to celebrate the diversity in CIBSS and #STEM. Peter Walentek @WalentekLab, member of our Equal Opportunity and Diversity Committee, knows that small gestures like this matter:
Statement by CIBSS member Peter Walentek, pronouns: he/him, for Pride month. He says: Our recent survey highlighted that LGBTQ+ members contribute to the excellent research at CIBSS at all levels and that they feel welcome in Freiburg, working in an international and open environment. However, we can all make our community even more welcoming every day, often with small gestures of support. For example, by sharing and respecting personal pronoun preferences, we can make it easier for others to tell us how they feel most comfortable being addressed.
