  5. "No wall can stand if you just keep going," says our lab leader Michela Di Virgilio (professor at @ChariteBerlin). In order for the #ImmuneSystem to effectively fight off pathogens, B cells need to smash up and reassemble their own #DNA. Di Virgilio and her team are searching for factors controlling this process, which also have crucial implications for our predisposition to #cancer.

  8. I'm all for recognizing #WomenInScience...

    ...but can we do it without suggesting that the reason a woman would dedicate her life to #science & #teaching was to fill the vacuous space of never having children?
