Thanks to those who put forward my name, thanks to the selection committee and ERC Council for shortlisting me, and thanks to Commissioner @GabrielMariya for selecting me. I look forward to working for the research community in Europe!

- Congratulations to all 397 new grantees! Satisfying to see that the share of women among the awardees continues to rise steadily and rapidly, up to highest ever; 43% this year. ERC is thrilled with the results - I’m sure Commissioner @GabrielMariya and @EU_commission are too.🎉ERC Starting Grant competition results are out! Over €619 million for the best ideas of young leading researchers - and the 1️⃣st set of grants awarded under 🇪🇺@HorizonEU. Find out who, where and why 👉 bit.ly/3JRyDDg #EUfunded #FrontierResearch #ERCStG
- Professor Maria Leptin ForMemRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Her leadership in European science – currently as President of @ERC_Research – builds on her research contributions across fields from immunity to genetics. @mleptin #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/maria-l…
- I cannot underline enough how crucial it is for Europe to keep investing in top researchers driven by sheer scientific curiosity, which Giorgio Parisi’s achievement illustrates perfectly. Nobel Prize today is great news and so well-deserved!
- on behalf of all in fundamental research and of @ERC_research, I quote Bertozzi: the freedom to pursue an unlikely observation made [this] discovery possible...if I stumbled into this and put out an NIH grant, we’d get laughed out of the study section. Congrats, @CarolynBertozzi!Congrats to our fearless leader @CarolynBertozzi!! @NobelPrize
00:00 - Hearing ‘I’m humbled’ in response to an award: You mean you’re not wishing the bullies at school were seeing his? Or your in-laws, who might then finally stop asking why you’re not in banking and earning a decent living? It’s OK to be proud! Scientists, please simply be truthful!
- Who ever said that posting preprints is too risky because you'll get scooped? The opposite is true @ReviewCommons @ASAPbio_Extended scooping protection: @ReviewCommons will require manuscripts to be posted on a preprint server before transfer to a journal. In return 17 partner journals offer scooping protection from the date of posting the preprint. Details at the new RC blog reviewcommons.org/blog/new-polic…
- Why does this 8th c BC Syrian person have a huge Golgi apparatus on his table? (tiny gold plate from Sam'al at the Pergamon Museum, Berlin)
- Another ERC grantee wins Nobel, Ben List! The @ERC_research can be proud to have placed trust in and backed him. The number of ERC grantees who go on to win Nobel prizes shows that giving researchers the freedom to pursue their scientific dreams truly pays off.BREAKING NEWS: The 2021 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.”
- Thrilled to be attending @ERC_Research Scientific Council plenary for the first time today – great discussions and wonderful to see the shared commitment of this inspiring group of top researchers. Today was an appetiser before I join this great team fully as of November.
- Congratulations to all the new ERC Consolidator grants winners! Glad @ERC_Research can support them at a crucial time of their careers, strengthening their independence, reinforcing their teams and helping them establish themselves as leaders in their fields.📢 The results of the 2022 ERC Consolidator Grant competition are out: €657 million for 321 researchers. Who has been offered funding? What topics they will investigate? Where will they do their research? Discover the details ➡️ bit.ly/ERCCoG2022Resu… 🇪🇺#EUfunded #ERCCoG
- Fervently hoping, as all scientists I know, UK-EU negotiations will result in association so UK colleagues can receive their ERC grants. We were obliged in our letter last week to mention the option for ‘portability’ of the grant, but no one here wishes to entice anyone to leave!And here it is -- communication from @ERC_Research to UK-based #ERC starting grant grantees... UK awardees will have two months time to move their grant to the EU proper, otherwise they will lose their STG. Thank you #Brexit #BrexitReality.
- This is really a great honour, and I thank my proposer , and also all friends and colleagues who have sent their congrats.Congratulations to our President, Maria Leptin, on being elected as international member to the US National Academy of Sciences! Very well-deserved recognition! 🇪🇺 🇺🇸 @theNASciences @mleptin #NASmembers
