Session 3 of the ENLIGHT Academic Leadership course in beautiful Galway...the topic is Leading change and it is proving to be an eye-opening experience @unibe.ch @mcid-unibe.bsky.social @izb-unibern.bsky.social

My thoughts at the beginning of this new year go to all the parents of the victims of the tragic fire in Crans-Montana...I cannot imagine anything more devastating than thinking your child is enjoying themselves at a party only to find out they died horribly...this is heartbreaking....

James Joyce once said writing a book is like tunneling into a mountain, and you never quite know what you'll find or when you'll reach the end. I really like that analogy

well, Diplomonads have genomes distributed across 2 (or 4, if considering cyst stages) nuclei, in the absence of haploid stages, and no one's getting published on Science for this, are they? @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
