For all Xenopus lovers: the CSHL Xenopus Course is coming in 2026! 🐸 Led by the awesome @walenteklab.bsky.social & Rachel Miller. Don’t miss it! 💪 #frogpower

Just wrapped up my first-ever poster presentation in BOTH English & Spanish 🎉 A truly fantastic experience! Learned that it’s not the poster itself that matters, but how we speak about science 🧪✨ Viva México! 🇲🇽

🇲🇽 Hola, buenos días from México! The VI Neurobiological Conference has just kicked off. Excited to step out of my comfort zone and represent not only our lab at Masaryk University, not only Brno, not only Czechia… but maybe even Europe! 🌍 Greetings from the heart of wild & central Mexico!🧠

Today I start the first lecture of my course Developmental defects (Bi1152en) at Masaryk University 🎓 My favorite part: to show how scientists in Mexico 🇲🇽 in 18–19th century were sometimes ahead of European colleagues, who were the “flagship” of science at that time. @jbwallingford.bsky.social

🔥Shout-out to everyone who taught at our Young Developmental Biologist Workshop @harnoslab.bsky.social, Pavel Kohout from @loschmidtlab.bsky.social, Viktória Parobková from @ceitec.eu, Irina Poverennaya from @meduniwien.ac.at, and Petr Vodička & David Drutovič from IAPG @czechacademy.bsky.social

🚨 Our collaborative paper on DNA structures in Xenopus oocytes is out! 🎉 Huge thanks to lead author Anirban Ghosh and PI Lukas Trantirek 🙌 #frogpower academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Haha, this is what happens when a Xenopus scientist goes to an Indian party! 😅 #frogpower

Meet fascinating Jakub Harnoš @harnoslab.bsky.social from Masaryk University @masarykuniversity.bsky.social with his talk Wnt-Notch Crosstalk and Its Impact on Embryonic Epidermis Development Using Xenopus #V4SDB2025 #conference #developmentalbiology #evodevo #morphogenesis

Tomorrow starts Visegrad Group Society for Developmental Biology (V4SDB) conference! 🎉 Today I lead workshop “How to write excellent abstract.” Tomorrow 17:00 my talk about Xenopus 🐸!!! Fantastic Slovakia 🏔️🙏

Woodworth's 1889 paper is a fun read. You can get it for free here: 2/3 www.google.com/books/editio...

Fantastic open discussion with the Xenopus community on our needs, support, and how to push this model forward—courses, databases, and beyond. Wow! Grateful & proud to be part of this community. 🐸💚 #Xenopus #ScienceCommunity

We are starting the biggest world conference about #Xenopus 🐸! All important people in this model organism are here. Tomorrow at 14:00 is my talk — wish me good luck! 🍀

Very cool PhD offer in Brno! Come to study G4 quadruplexes! www.ceitec.eu/molecular-in...

CK1 conference in Brno kicks off! 🧠 Join us tomorrow for my talk at 9 am on neural tube formation – don’t miss it!

Jazz in Brno! Chilling out after work with some members of @eliasbarrigalab.bsky.social lab 🎷🎶

My two Master students just finished their degree! 🎓🔥 Big congrats to Aneta and Pavla!! Harnoš lab is on fire! 💥👏 #ProudSupervisor #ScienceLife

Happy Father’s Day! Big respect to all single fathers who raise kids with full love and responsibility. 💪 In science, I support equality — 10 of 13 people in my lab are women. No harassment, no gender judgment. Ask them yourself! Be like James! 💥 #FathersDay #Equality

Great news for the #Xenopus community! 🐸 Dominik Alfandari got a new grant to make 30+ monoclonal antibodies for Xenopus proteins in 4 years. Please help choose the most needed targets by filling out this short form: 👉 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #devbio #antibodies #Xenopus

The EU LIFE Science Vision Talk Contest is happening now at @ceitec.eu in Brno! Young scientists are talking about their great ideas for the future of life sciences. #ScienceVision #CEITEC #EULIFE

Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase deficiency is an autosomal recessive mitochondrial disease with a variable clinical presentation. This series brings together 52 cases to describe the clinical features, biochemical profiles and genotypes in this varied group. doi.org/10.1002/jimd...

Today, at Sip of Science, we got Denys Biriukov and molecular simulation, with Aristotle, Newton and Oppenheimer, as the main characters, and many stars around 😍💻🌃 Come and join us in two weeks at @ceitec.eu

Wow, it’s not every day that the current Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health of the Czech Republic accepts your LinkedIn request!

Today, I had a fantastic opportunity to give a lecture at National University of Singapore. 🇸🇬Thank you very much, Christoph Winkler!!!! A lot of collaboration ahead! 🔬

Today's Sip of Science is NOT about Lego, but about chromosomal rearrangements in plants! Huge thanks to @ceitec.eu!! Let’s spread the word and celebrate plant genetics! #SipOfScience #PlantBiology #ChromosomalRearrangement

Unbelievable!!!! 😲 Little and humble me, James, will present at the 8th best university in the world – NUS Singapore – just 2 weeks from now! 🇸🇬 A big step in my life. Thank you all for the continuous support! 🙏✨ @uebscimuni.bsky.social

Life has a wild sense of humor! After nearly 30 years, I just ran into my bench schoolmate from 1996 - Jiri Fusek - at a science/bio-pharma business meeting. He’s now Managing Director of Prague.bio. Huge congrats, Jiri!

Massive brainstorming session at Charles University with the brilliant Fabio Turetti and Jan Mašek! Big things brewing, as our WNT-Notch manuscript is almost ready for submission. Stay tuned! #WNT #Notch #ScienceCollab #CharlesUniversity

🆕 Preprint alert! 🔬✨ We map the PRICKLE family interactome and uncover how PRICKLE3 shields WNT/PCP complexes from RNF43-mediated ubiquitination - stabilizing signaling when it matters most. 🛡️ 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #WNT #PCP #Prickle #CellBiology

Today’s Sip of Science is all about microscopy! Incredible talks by the talented folks from CELLIM — so inspiring to see what’s possible under the microscope. Amazing stuff! #Science #Microscopy #CELLIM #SipOfScience

Gotta love it when your former postdoc advisor cites 150 papers but ‘forgets’ your recent independent work - including the only available review on the same protein family and a paper on a similar topic. I guess the hate is real. Anyway… Prickle2 and WNT/PCP rule 😎 #Xenopus
