Childhood brain tumors are rare but, despite all the progress made over recent years, they are often associated with poor prognoses and low survival rates. Researchers at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich are focused on the rapid translation of drugs for use in this field, and the INTEGRA family of products – including VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipettes, the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot, EVOLVE manual pipettes and PIPETBOY acu 2 pipette controllers – have been a part of the lab since its inception. Dr Alexander Beck, the head of the laboratory, explained: “We assess drugs in terms of their efficacy on tumor cells, blood-brain barrier penetration, toxicity and, on a deeper level, the tumor biology.”

Moments before she became the first Australian woman to clear a high jump bar set at two metres, Nicola McDermott was worried about a shoe.
Not the ones she was wearing, which suited her just fine. First-time clearances at 1.86m, 1.90m, 1.94m and 1.97m attested to that. Not even a whole shoe. Just half a shoe.
After missing her first attempt at 2.00m, McDermott wanted to move her run-up marker back half a shoe’s length. Her life-long coach Mick Horsnell couldn’t see it would make much difference. Nor could Australian head coach Craig Hilliard who was on hand for support. But they acquiesced, presumably because the one doing the jumping knows what is best.
