The most optimistic article I've read for a long time - highly recommended! Also: thank you @anneapplebaum.bsky.social !

Thrilled to share that our Group Leader Prof. Azim Surani, together with Prof. Davor Solter, has been awarded the 2026 Paul Ehrlich & Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize 🎉 for discovering genomic imprinting—a breakthrough that reshaped genetics and launched modern epigenetics.

Genes are not On/Off switches. In a new preprint we show that HDAC3 is key to establish correct transcriptional dose in development. Gr8 work from N. Stamidis @ucph.bsky.social and collab. @jamiehackett.bsky.social @gregersenlab.bsky.social . Huge thx to all authors! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I can't stress enough that this is how is exactly how genocides are incited. They always use language to couch it in self defense to justify violence against their targets.

Nauka miała być filarem rozwoju kraju a pozostanie tak samo niedofinansowana jak dotychczas. "To jasne, że nie jestem zadowolony z tego budżetu" - mówi min nauki @marcinkulasek.bsky.social. O tym, jak miało być i co z tego wyszło piszę tu: wyborcza.pl/7,75398,3223...

We the people are the job creators who keep showing up and making America great right now!

Very proud of our paper on "scrambling-by-hopping" LADs, which was just published: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... Congrats to Lise Dauban and the rest of the team – this was a real tour-de-force!

#1 Centromeres are epigenetic loci defined by CENP-A, positioned in unmethylated DNA flanked by highly methylated regions. Our work, published in @natgenet.nature.com in collaboration with @naltemose.bsky.social investigates the role of DNAme at human centromeres www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Exciting FULL PROFESSORSHIP at the Vienna BioCenter - Molecular Mechanisms of Disease Mechanisms: www.maxperutzlabs.ac.at/news/open-po... Come be our colleague!

🎊 Congratulations to Juliane Glaser (@julianeg.bsky.social) and Valentin Flury (@flurylab.bsky.social) on being awarded each an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant! – #ERCStG www.ie-freiburg.mpg.de/6057908/2025...

🚨 🐜 is there a Bluesky starter pack for researchers who don’t study ants but who get lightheaded every time there’s an awesome ant paper? CC @mariusw.bsky.social @jrichardalbert.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Apropos of nothing.... Peer-review should be rigorous, not rude. Critique the work, not the author team. Explain, don’t sneer. Build science up, don’t beat the authors down. Respect in peer-reviews isn’t optional — it’s how good research gets better.

Join us on Monday for @UAM_IBMiB seminar of Takeshi Matsui from the Tokyo University of Technology to learn about keratinocyte-specific cell-death in formation of epidermal barrier! PhD students/postdocs are welcome for the cereer advice meeting! #cellDeath #corneoptosis #ID_UB
