New issue of Deutsche Hebammen Zeitschrift (German #Midwife Journal) featuring #newborn screening and maternal #thyroid function, including my article. I hope it helps raising the awareness of thyroid in #pregnancy! @uniluebeck.bsky.social @eur-thyroid-j.bsky.social @esendocrinology.bsky.social

My new article on impaired #thyroid hormone action in #pregnancy for the German #Midwife Magazine is out.
👇 Check my awesome original figures below - however, the DHZ didn't like fancy AI artwork, so they went with old-school midwife drawings instead...

🥳 Paper accepted in #JMolEndo @socendocrinology.bsky.social - great work by Nuria Lopez Alcantara on the role of #deiodinase I in #MASH. Stay tuned for the full version in the next 24 hours! Spoiler alert: Dio1 is not the key to fixing MASH. At least not by itself...

🥳 We hit 100 followers! I guess I am now officially an minfluencer? Baby scinfluencer?
Anyway... happy to see that there is also a community for #endocrine research on @bsky.app - no regrets after the #eXit.

🥳 Score! According to the most recent #ScholarGPS rankings, we are the most productive #thyroid hormone researchers in the past 5 years! Also Top 10 for total ranking (out of 8429). I just wish random rankings in narrow fields of expertise would immediately result in more 💰💰

🥳 I do like letters that start like this! @dfg.de has granted our proposal on thyroid hormone action in the regulation of heart rate, so we can continue our journey that started with the TRR296 LocoTact for another 3 years at the @uniluebeck.bsky.social!

While writing an article for the "Deutsche Hebammenzeitschrift" I was in need for a picture of a pregnant woman with a visible fetus.... let's just say AI still has a few things left to learn on human anatomy... #numberofhands #pregnantbaby #leonardoAI

Feels cool to return to the #MHH, place of countless student parties (yes, and also courses), now 15 years later as invited speaker for the #DGPT annual meeting. Lots of weird flashbacks...

🥳 Happy #ladder-day, everyone! I am so glad I work in a country that requires an institute to have an official #ladder officer (yours truly) that puts all ladders up for annual #inspection and punishes people for using swivel chairs. Employees just cannot be trusted with these #dangerous items!

Ever received an email that reminds you to use a #form to provide 7 (!) versions for the name of your institute, and you think "nah, someone must be messing with me", but it is dead serious? I think I will also voluntarily provide names in French, Chinese, Japanes and Swahili to be on the safe side.

I asked how Claude AI would interpret our latest results, Donald Trump style... here it is. It would be so funny, if the current reality of science in the US wouldn't be so incredibly depressing... 😢

Congratulations to Francesca for successfully defending her PhD thesis on the role (or its absence) of #dopamine on #brown fat thermogenesis in vivo! Main findings: Don't trust cell lines, don't trust antibodies... all from hell...
