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.

Our latest paper has just been published in Cell! doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... We developed a new method called MCC ultra, which allows 3D chromatin structure to be visualised with a 1 base pair pixel size.

Grateful to 🇵🇱 @ncn.gov.pl , 🇩🇪 @maxplanck.de , and 🇨🇿 MEYS for putting together the first Dioscuri Symposium in Krakow. Loved the open discussion panel — honest, insightful, and human. (And yes, the writing workshop was fantastic as well 😉).

The first international workshop that focused on #zebrafish was convened in 1990 in Eugene, Oregon. Sponsored by NIH and NSF, the gathering of ∼40 scientists sought to evaluate the research potential of the tiny fish. Today, nearly 1,800+ zebrafish labs exist worldwide. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪
