On October 13th, Paul Steinmann led a hands-on workshop on stiffness and viscosity, connecting everyday demos — like rubber bands and gummy bears — to mechanics, rheological models, and the fascinating stories behind the scientists who discovered them.

The EBM Symposium 2025 at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light brought together 120 researchers from around 12 countries to explore the mechanics of the brain — fostering inspiring interdisciplinary exchange across biomechanics, neuroscience, and clinical research.

On September 28, 2025, CRC 1540 “Exploring Brain Mechanics” members and their families met at the Entlas-Keller beer garden. Under sunny skies, they enjoyed a relaxed afternoon, reconnected after the summer break, and gathered energy for the upcoming renewal phase.
