A fair (public) representation of women is one of the most discussed questions of our time. The way in which media coverage (re)produces genders may affect individual and collective thinking and the perceptions of women in society. We analyse the representation of female scientists in German news media coverage of eight science-related risk issues and compare male and female experts regarding their relative scientific reputation, the number of references and the content of their statements.

In recent years the functionality of synthetic active microparticles has edged even closer to that of their biological counterparts. However, we still lack the understanding needed to recreate at the microscale key features of autonomous behavior exhibited by microorganisms or swarms of macroscopic robots. In this study, we propose a model for a three-dimensional deformable cellular composite particle consisting of self-propelled rod-shaped colloids confined within a flexible vesicle-representing a superstructure we call a "flexicle" that couples particle deformation to the internal dynamics of the internal active components.

Yet the spatiotemporal organization of Ca activity and its regulation across a vascular plexus is poorly understood in an mammalian context, largely due to technical barriers. To overcome this gap in knowledge, we developed an approach to resolve Ca activity with single cell resolution in the skin vasculature of live adult mice by multi-photon imaging.

Many bacteria inhabit thin water layers on solid surfaces. These thin films occur both naturally - in soils, on hosts, on textiles - and in the lab on agar hydrogels. In these environments, cells the water menisci formed around bacteria lead to capillary attraction between cells while still allowing them to slide past one another.

Living systems display complex behaviors driven by physical forces as well as decision-making. Hydrodynamic theories hold promise for simplified universal descriptions of socially generated collective behaviors. However, the construction of such theories is often divorced from the data they should describe.
