Montagmorgen mit Bea. Schon wieder. 😹☕️ Ich wollte wirklich nicht schon wieder bei Dr. Bea Merscher landen – aber dann öffnet man ihre Dissertation von 2014 und findet plötzlich kein bisschen „Kinderärztinnen-Instagram“, sondern: Atm-Knockout-Mäuse. Knochenmarktransplantationen. Immunsuppression. Bestrahlung. GFP-Durchflusszytometrie. PCR. Nekropsien. Organentnahmen. Immunfluoreszenz von Cerebellum und Lunge. 🐭🧬 Titel: „Untersuchung zum Engraftment ATM-positiver Knochenmarkstammzellen nach Transplantation in Atm-defiziente Mäuse“ Und das Ganze hängt ziemlich offensichtlich mit der bereits 2012 online veröffentlichten / 2013 gedruckten Arbeit in Human Molecular Genetics zusammen: „Bone marrow transplantation improves the outcome of Atm-deficient mice through the migration of ATM-competent cells“ Mit M.B. Merscher als 4. Autorin. Das Inhaltsverzeichnis der Dissertation ist bemerkenswert konkret: Stammzellgewinnung und -applikation, Irradiation, GFP-Expression, PCR-Analyse der Organe, histologische Untersuchungen von Gehirn und Lunge – anschließend „Eigene Publikationen“ und „Kongressbeiträge“. Also Montagmorgen-Erkenntnis: Bea's frühe wissenschaftliche Laufbahn war experimentelle Stammzell-/Transplantationsforschung im Atm-defizienten Mausmodell. Und weil in dieser Forschungsachse auch LOEWE-Förderung auftaucht, rollt Frau Hodl jetzt natürlich das gesamte LOEWE-Funding auf: Förderkennzeichen → Teilprojekte → Arbeitsgruppen → Konsortialpartner → Mittel → Publikationen → personelle Netzwerke. Und dann schauen wir mal ganz entspannt, ob in diesem Geflecht irgendwann auch DKMS und die Familie Reimann belastbar auftauchen. Noch ist das eine Suchspur, kein Befund. Außerdem fehlen mir weiterhin die Seiten 123–130: eigene Publikationen → Kongressbeiträge → Lebenslauf → Danksagung → Selbständigkeitserklärung Schon wieder Bea. Ich kann nichts dafür. Der Spaten hat jetzt LOEWE gewittert. 😹 #Wissenschaft #Forschung #Biologie

Hilfe, ist das peinlich! https://t.co/7chUYWebuD #Politik #Rücktritt #Skandal
