YES! Now (started yesterday) you can run grants too!

🙏 Super important for the ERC applicants: erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

Scientists’ reaction to a new grant scheme 👀👇

As we near the end of #EarthWeek, a reminder that #zebrafish do not need sterile dishes! Save money and reduce plastic consumption by sanitizing used dishes with hot water or dilute bleach 🧫💦 For example, you could follow this protocol from the Fish Floor at UCL: www.protocols.io/view/washing... 🐟 🧪

One last try... 😫👇

We had a very active week here @masarykuniversity.bsky.social.

Query from Slack: Looking for wls (wntless) and/or wnt5a/wnt5b mutant #zebrafish lines in Europe? If you have these or know any leads, please reach out 🙏 #AskZebrafish

This is a fantastic addition—Rachael Morgan’s physiology expertise will be key for pushing the project forward at the interface of systems and development. Looking forward to what this collaboration between @mvargam.eurosky.social , Takayiku Onai, and the team will uncover. @hfspo.bsky.social

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Rachael Morgan from University of Bergen to our little team with @fabianlab.bsky.social and Takayiku Onai. Rachael brings much needed physiology expertise to our project. Many thanks to @hfspo.bsky.social for supporting this!

Ridges under the skin - paper in @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Today at PI_Forum Brno we will discuss this graph. From 62% women at PhD level to 17% at professor level. Let’s talk about why this happens—and how to change it. 📍 CEITEC MU | 🕠 17:30 czexpats.org/en/udalost/p... @czexpats.bsky.social

Why do we lose so much talent in academia? Let’s talk about it – openly, together, responsibly. NEXT TUESDAY AT 5:30 PM. PI Forum Brno #7 | Feb 3 @ CEITEC MU For all PIs, PhDs & researchers in Brno. Chaired by @fabianlab.bsky.social

As it should be! Very nice Pepa!

Over the past weeks I have been reading the earliest papers on zebrafish development, and came to realize that in the “canonized" version of zebrafish history we neglect some important people pre-Streisinger. I will try to correct here the record. Let’s start with Edward C. Roosen-Runge. (1/7)

Dry January

This was fun and cool conference. Thanks @czexpats.bsky.social

When the science is so cool ❄️ you need to take a coat!

We need just one more supplementary figure.
