hey bluesky 👋 visa hurdles mean I’m looking for opportunities outside the US. I’m a computational biologist (bacterial + phage genomics, postdoc in Koonin’s group @ NIH). I am interested in teaming up on funding apps. reach out if this resonates!

🥂This was the highlight of my year. The "instigators", led by local master of the ceremony @svobodalab.bsky.social will never forget the privilege of organizing it and i think every participant will treasure the experience forever ❤️ @nature.com @josiegz.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Read all Elements in The Philosophy of Biology series for FREE during the ISHPSSB conference 20 - 25 July. You can find all of these Elements free to download and read here: cup.org/4kEgivL

We should have the equivalent for PIs looking for students and/or postdocs

Birth defects kill twice as many children as cancer. Animal model are crucial; no stem-cell or computer models can yet recapitulate the embryo's complexity. If you support birth defects research tell NIH that animal models are important! Click & scroll below to comment. tinyurl.com/mr3he6bx

Read this piece. It gives a great impression of #TCTeAC WoodstockBio2 & Night Science from one of the #Instigators. This is the next best thing to being there... I like the expression #BohemianFixers. Many thanks to them! Děkujeme. thenode.biologists.com/from-posters...

The new Department of Functional Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine is looking for scientists at any level. 👉 mpi-muenster.mpg.de/780013/profil

I am heartbroken about the loss of many labs at the Weizmann Institute yesterday in the missile attack. Dear scientists there: please know that you are not alone. Like many many others, I support you and am standing by to help you in any way I can.

This might be useful for the #TCTeAC participants 🇨🇿, 🙏 @svobodalab.bsky.social @odedrechavi.bsky.social @itaiyanai.bsky.social go.bsky.app/DPH6r8o

Super nice talk by @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social on how the environment restricts the possible courses of embryonic development 🤓 #TCTeAC

Here it is! Bonsai. Now there is really no more excuse for using t-SNE/UMAP. Bonsai not only makes cool pictures of your data. It actually rigorously preserves its structure. No tunable parameters. Incredible work by @dhdegroot.bsky.social. I'm so excited about this! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to see this out in @science.org today!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Awesome day full of scientific discussions with David Sprinzak, who came to give a talk about inner ear patterning at our Dpt seminar series. natur.cuni.cz/en/biology/d... Huge thanks for coming, David!

#theconferencetoendallconferences ... if you want to join, hurry up, we will be full soon. The capacity is limited (lecture hall size) to 230 paying. 227 registered, 188 paid as of now. What you've heard is likely true. Science + music & magic, train, canoes ... (Faust too). woodstock.img.cas.cz

alright i have my laptop, guess i'm livetweeting the dire wolf preprint. so a quick reminder: this is not yet peer-reviewed, so there's some different expectations re: quality. also let's be clear, i'm a hella biased reader, bc i don't trust the hype they're courting

Potkejme se v Kodani! 🇩🇰🤗 Do 21. dubna se můžete registrovat na další z našich lokálních setkaní českých vědkyň a vědců působících v zahraničí ➡️ forms.gle/YVfJCjiG1PbZpW… Těšíme se na vás!

Woodstock.Bio 2 & Night Science is the meeting where organizers register & pay like others! If you want to be a part of this unforeseen, unique, unbelievable, unforgettable, unpredictable & untouchable meeting, there's dozens of places left. It's 230 PAYING! Beyond that is the waiting list.

Very proud of our PhD student Anna, and grateful to GAUK for funding her 2-year project on 3D visualisation of liver mesenchyme under cholestatic condition. Well deserved!

This is, indeed, an important and valuable contribution to the standardization of an experimental system that is beginning to show promise and teach us unexpected featured of mammalian development.

🐟🐟🐟 We are looking for the floxed dnStat3 line (pd59Tg) - Tg(actb2:LOXP-DsRed-STOP-LOXP-dnstat3-GFP), which was generated by the Poss lab (or similar). If anyone maintains the line and able to kindly share embryos, that would be much appreciated. Thanks! @zebrafishrock.bsky.social

Half sold out in a week!

The archetype of the scientist who sacrifices everything might’ve been romantic 50 years ago when there weren’t alternative high paying jobs. If we won’t make science FUN, reduce bureaucracy, and make it easier to secure funding and publish, few will stay in academia.

At #Woodstockbio2025 #selforganization is key. If you plan to do something special at the #YMCAcampsite, go for a talk & work the #advertisement of the #event into your ~5 minutes of fame in #Prague - after the #walkupsong #TheConferenceToEndAllConferences (what a hashtag🤷🏻‍♂️) woodstock.img.cas.cz

Friends! The science that we love is under threat. World-wide, there're forces seeking to make it corporate-like, focused on deliverables, or even the enemy of society. Take a stand & celebrate science & music! #theconferencetoendallconferences - Registration starts NOW! woodstock.img.cas.cz

Today's oval office bullying asks for a response, the only meaningful I could figure is to send more money to Ukraine, please consider doing the same. www.weaponstoukraine.com

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I just posted "Some Experiments Work, and Some Don't." It features this new paper from Paul Rainey's group, along with a *failed* experiment that Paul Sniegowski and I ran in the 1990s trying to test the same idea. telliamedrevisited.wordpress.com/2025/02/21/s...

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

🚨 We're hiring! A 2.5-year (full-time) #Postdoc position available in my lab @uebscimuni.bsky.social in Brno, Czechia. 👇 Apply now & join us to study mitochondrial synthetic lethality in MYC-driven tumors. 📅 Deadline: 21 March 2025. (official e-application link will follow) Please repost 💚

Have you ever wanted to *see* receptor activity in embryos? If so, our new preprint is for you! In it, we showcase a new live-cell biosensor for visualizing receptor tyrosine kinase activity in living embryos – pYtags! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I have one open PhD position. Maybe one of the last PhD positions in the lab as I'm planning changes in what we do and how we will do it some five years from now. I'm offering freedom (pun intended), respect, an interesting project, and a good full time contract w. health insurance.
