A determined team from the Moriggl lab participated in this year’s Relay-Wachaumarathon. We finished with a time of 3 hours and 42 minutes and are looking forward to beating the record next year.

Various members of the JAK-STAT SFB consortium, PI Richard Moriggl among them, participated in the 4th International Conference on Cytokines in Cancer. It was a great pleasure to meet and discuss in person at one of the first conferences after the pandemic on the beautiful island of Chania.
Richard contributed by giving a talk with the title “Towards an understanding of the STAT5BN642H driver mutation in blood cancers and how to eliminate it“

Today Peter from helfenstattwegwerfen.at picked up our first collected waste for recycling . Together with our colleagues from the Grebien lab we managed to gather 42kg of plastic waste!

Peter kindly took the time to explain what exactly happens to the plastic, how it is separated, washed and shredded, to be eventually re-used. We hope to motivate more and more labs @Vetmeduni and other universities in Vienna to join us for a more sustainable research!

Today, we are especially grateful for all the smart, reliable and helpful female researchers out there. Some of them we can even call our colleagues and friends.
“In order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, the United Nations General Assembly declared 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science in 2015.” – United Nations
We, the female scientists from the Moriggl lab, came together to raise awareness and to celebrate all past, present and future women and girls in science!

Cheers to all fellow female researchers and scientists out there!
