Paying peer reviewers Interview with @danielgorelick.bsky.social about @biologyopen.bsky.social Fast & Fair trial in which peer reviewers were paid £220/review Spoiler: it works - fast, high quality reviews www.nature.com/articles/d41...

EVBO congratulates our board members, Katrien de Bock and Taija Mäkinen, on receiving their ERC Advanced Grants!

Huge congratulations to Sara Wickström! 🎉Our director @mpi-muenster.bsky.social has been awarded the #KörberPrize 2026. The scientist discovered that genes respond not only to chemical signals but also to the physical properties of their surroundings. @koerber-stiftung.de @sarawickstrom.bsky.social

Truly honored to recieve this recognition-a testament to the dedication, hard work and creativity of past and current lab members, I am grateful to be able to do science with them. Also want to thank all our wonderful collaborators that facilitate interdisciplinary work essential for new discoveries

Calling all vascular biologists! Join us for cutting edge science at #Angioscience26 in gorgeous Seeon, Bavaria. Awesome speakers, intimate setting, many talks from abstracts. Deadline June 15th to register! vwfb.de/start/regist...

🚨 #IVBM2026 abstract deadline extended! 🚨 You now have until 29 May 2026 (11:59 PM ACST) to submit abstracts for oral & poster presentations. Join the global vascular biology community for cutting-edge science, networking & collaboration. #VascularBiology

Using faithfull recombination reporters such as iSuRe-Cre and iSuRe-HadCre alleles developed by @ruibenedito.bsky.social we noted VEGFR2 deficient cells didn't contribute to the developing lymphatic capillaries and only resided in the collecting vessel network present at induction.

Happy to share that our latest work on VEGFR2 in lymphatic endothelium is published @natcomms.nature.com “VEGFR2 is required for VEGF-C–VEGFR3–PI3Kα-mediated sprouting lymphangiogenesis” tinyurl.com/47bns9pp This project has been a long journey for the lab @taijamakinenlab.bsky.social , A thread.

Wir suchen Dich als Technische*n Assistent*in (BTA, MTA oder CTA) (m/w/d) für unser Team der Abteilung „Funktionelle Genetik“ von Prof. Dr. Rui Benedito @ruibenedito.bsky.social. Vollzeit (Teilzeit möglich). Frist: 10.06.2026 Weitere Infos: jobs.mpi-muenster.mpg.de/jobposting/1...

What happens when science is free to ask any question? It leads to discoveries we didn’t plan for – but now depend on. This #EuropeDay, we support #ProtectWhatMatters, celebrating the freedom that makes frontier research possible. Read the stories 👉 buff.ly/SRCDWoW and have a happy Europe Day! 🇪🇺

The ERC’s new decision is deeply damaging and should be reversed ASAP. There are better and creative ways to manage rising applications. A 2–3 year block in applications is unacceptable in fast-moving science — especially for young scientists.

Deadline today !
