US seems to have a lot of job ad going on, I thought science fundings were cut there? Are they back because POTUS decides to focus on Greenland?

A bit of a long shot, but does anyone know of any good (short) courses and/or reference books in/for zooarchaeology? I've had an interest in zooarch (esp microfauna) for a while, but have limited specialist knowledge/hands on experience to take it any further! TIA 😊 #archaeology #zooarchaeology

Can interactive web apps help biology students become better modellers? peischllab.github.io/MEEW.html We're running an ethics-approved, pre-registered study thanks to funding from the University of Bern. Are you lecturing in the Spring? Contact me to receive the survey link!

🦙🧬Pleased to present our new paper out in @natcomms.nature.com 🧬🦙 Palaeogenomics of early camelid use in the Atacama Desert (Chile). We used ancient DNA to revisit animals being hunted/herded >3,000 years ago. Manuscript here: rdcu.be/eVwwl #aDNA #popgen Thread below🧵 Reposts appreciated :)

🎉🎉 New publication out! 🎉🎉 🧵1/6 🦒 The giraffe known as Marius made global headlines when he was euthanized by Copenhagen Zoo in 2014 after being deemed surplus. His story highlights how challenging it is to manage zoo populations for conservation with limited resources 🧬 doi.org/10.1007/s105...

SMBE2026 Symposium 15 | Detecting selection and local adaptation on (im)possible systems 📨 Abstract submission smbe2026.org/abstracts 📋 Programme details smbe2026.org/programme #SMBE2026

Another shoutout to people working in selection and local adaptation to submit to this very special symposium on #SMBE2026 😆 We hope to hear and discuss works from systems where non-equilibrium happens 🤩

The crazy mumbo jumbo output of LLM texts is actually a good source of inspiration for making a research grant proposal. Now that I see this thing envisioned similar idea with me I am not sure if I should be happy being vindicated or sad that my imagination is not even better than an artificial one.

🧵1/5 Thought long-read sequencing had “solved” structural variant genotyping? We did. Turns out many SVs still have high genotype error rates with current tools. Our new method SVUPP uses long-read pre-phasing to reduce errors and improve genotype quality doi.org/10.1093/bioi...

Hi! I'm Francesca (Xisca), MSCA Postdoctoral Fellow working on crocodiles' cognition evocroproject.github.io, passionate about natural sciences, shows, fantasy books and music, you can easily find me with headphones on, and I host a science news channel called @dropsofsciencenews.bsky.social

Climate change disproportionately affects areas with risks of extreme weather events, including Southeast Asia. Floods have been & will be destroying our homes. If you care about climate change, demand your media to tell you more about this. People have to see this. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Internet is becoming increasingly unreliable. Buy books and read them.

Are you working on detecting selection in populations that are not usually easy to get selection detected? We'd love to hear you on "S15 Detecting selection and local adaptation on (im)possible systems" where @aidaandres.bsky.social will tell you more about her work around this area as well :D

Really looking forward to this symposium and the whole SMBE meeting! Join us at the #SMBE2026 for interesting discussions of how to identify signatures of natural selection (or try to) where it seems impossible.

I came to appreciate the intriguing difficulties of determining what CAUSES a disease with multiple symptoms. Is it bacteria/virus? Which one? Why the histology does not match? What is IT? - Copenhagen Zoo research seminar presented by Yannick Van de Weyer who invetigate hydrocoelom in Bombina.

Delighted to see our paper characterising the inbreeding history of dogs and wolves over the past 10,000 years published this week in @pnas.org. Work led by the excellent @katiabou.bsky.social, and co-supervised by me, Laurent Frantz and Fernando Racimo www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Big science highlights this month at our #EPIC seminar! Kees uncovered new insights into isolation by distance and shorebird diversity🐧, and Anna showed how ancient chewing gums provide a remarkable snapshot into #microbiome 🦠evolution and health. Fascinating work from both! 👏

There is not so much money from learned societies to invite enough financially disadvantaged researchers from countries that needs expensive visa to go around & only have weak currencies. Can crowdfunding help? But it is so much... How do we remedy this?

This version dependency going on between conda and snakemake is madness. Syntax issue as well between versions; crazy python stuffs. This volatility cannot be the future of Bioinformatics. What does people use to make pipeline nowadays? How have people in maths/physics/chemistry been doing it?

I have a hard time reconciling 322 EUR as the price of LMIC countries but sure Copenhagen *sob* It was one month salary still for even Indonesia's senior researchers. Such is the fate of middle-class economy.

"In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle (ca. 350 BC) suggested that politics was the most sovereign and most comprehensive master science, because politics uses the rest of the sciences, and because politics legislates what people are to do and what they are not to do." doi.org/10.1093/jmam...

I have always been a fan of Patrícia's piece in the molecularecologist and I have no idea I will be writing together with her in 4 years after the start of the fangirling. I love my life.

All those questions about inbreeding in conservation that you were afraid to ask. A bunch of early career scientists is here to explain something that even Wright and Fisher couldn't agree on, the (not so) simple question of what is inbreeding. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
