Wondering if all this scrambling & time pressure to secure CERC & CI+RC candidates is going to bite Canadian Institutions in the butt… Though I am 💯 for attracting international talent & growing R&I in Canada, this whole approach & process has been problematic in so many ways: .. 1/

University of Toronto is hiring: Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology #assistantprofessorposition

Two funded PhD positions investigating the evolution of sarcomeres @ibdm.bsky.social in @biancah0406.bsky.social and our lab, together with @cnidevo.bsky.social - Interested to explore how similar or different Jellyfish sarcomeres are to Drosophila or human ones? www.ibdm.univ-amu.fr/ibdm_job/2-a...

Honestly CIHR CCV.. you really need degree start dates now for all the undergrads that have worked in my lab?? Talk about a make-work project when there is so much more pressing work to be done...

Do you have a DMM-related workshop idea but need support with logistics or funding? Our annual call for topics is now open, and if your idea is selected, you can bring it to life. #BiologistsWorkshops Details: www.biologists.com/workshops/pr...

We also have a separate programme for the Global South. If your idea is selected, we will bring the event to your region. #BiologistsWorkshops Details: www.biologists.com/workshops/pr...

When I moved to Canada I learned there was box lacrosse in addition to field lacrosse, which I had played and only ever called 'lacrosse'.

Just sharing in case you need a bit of serene beauty. Feel so blessed to live here #Vancouver

We‘re looking for a motivated Master student to join our team! Do you want to optogenetically control metabolic activity to see how metabolism affects patterning and morphogenesis? 💡🧫🧬🔬 Then please apply! #optogenetics #metabolism #devbio #hESCs Please RT. Thank you!🙏

Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate!

Closing date is 19th Feb so why not go for it to enjoy the rain in London!

Feeling a little squeezed? Feeling a little anxious? Want help in your scientific writing from a real person? I can help draft, write, and/or polish manuscripts, tenure documents, grant proposals, and more. See my website (linked below) for testimonials and for contact info. Or D/M me here!

Grant reviewers in Canada: Please see below and remember that you are NOT allowed to use AI for any aspect of grant review. It breaches applicant and data confidentiality, among other security risks.

My outstanding postdoc is looking for a research job in Albany, NY. Please forward all leads and RT!

100% -- I can't even begin to calculate the lost productivity for those thousands of researchers applying over and over again in a desperate bid to keep their labs afloat

My department at Washington State University is recruiting an Assistant or Associate Professor in vector-borne disease 🕷️🦟🦠 Full job description is linked below. Come join us on the Palouse!

#Drosophil. Does anyone know who hosts the flyfos GFP tagged library now? We need some constructs but I cant find where they are. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Lovely visit today with PhD alumna Dipa Pradhan-Sundd! It was great to catch up and chat about joys and challenges of research!

Kind of makes you wonder why we are running all these very expensive boutique programs to bring in outside talent when we have such great scientists here 🤔

We're hiring! Enjoyed @jackholcombe.bsky.social PhD Prize talk @edrc2025.bsky.social @fly-eds.bsky.social? We're recruiting a #postdoc to explore how cell biology is patterned in the #Drosophila renal system. Come join us for live-imaging, molecular cell biology and omics! Deadline 25th January.

Job alert! Assistant professor position in the Department of Molecular Genetics (University of Toronto). Amazing department and city. jobs.utoronto.ca/job/Toronto-... Please share.

Carrie Matilda Derick (January 14, 1862 – November 10, 1941)[2] was a Canadian #botanist and #geneticist, the first woman professor in a Canadian university, and the founder of McGill University's genetics department. #womeninstem en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_...

Just updated my MacBook to Tahoe. I hate it 😡 All the rounded and inflated edges and buttons make it look goofy. Why do software designers feel they need to make changes like this with no option to not adopt?

Our lab, located at the University of Alberta (Canada), is hiring a postdoctoral scholar and/or PhD student to work on the contribution of genetic mutations to neurological disorder mechanisms and response to treatments. Please share widely! can-acn.org/postdoctoral...

Hey, science community (whoever is here). Can you please help me amplify this message? Postdoc position available in Düsseldorf!

This is an excellent thread that really does show how we are in the long game - and in Canada for some grants there is only 1 application deadline per year. Can be brutal to get funding.

Hard to believe this is Day 1 of Year 29 at Simon Fraser! I started Jan. 1, 1998. It's been interesting watching the changing Canadian science landscape over these decades. I've been so fortunate to work with amazing trainees and staff over those years. I couldn't have gotten this far without them.

Wishing you light and joy for 2026!

As 2025 comes to a close, my university (Dalhousie U in Halifax, Canada) is recruiting faculty, including outstanding early career researchers, and Canada Research Chairs. Applications are due January 19 2026 (was just notified today!). Please repost.

Dunno who needs to hear this, but before your start writing your reviewer comments, eat a cookie. Only you can prevent rude reviews.

Kid 2 coming home today - Kid 1 on Monday. My heart is full.

Try publishing fly tumour papers - always a big uphill battle!

I love this idea!

Why do some journals make it so hard to easily attach the supplemental information to the PDF your are reading? I want it all together! Having to download 1-4 supplemental figs for each main fig is not practical.

Very excited for this event tonight - an amazing author interviewed by a fantastic journalist!

I recently flew from Shanghai to Vancouver. As we were over the East China Sea between Shanghai and Nagasaki (just south of Jeju Island, I saw these incredible lights in the ocean. I was told these are floating fishing villages, but I cannot find any info online. So curious! Anyone know more?

🎄 Day 4 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🧬 In 1984, Drosophila homeotic genes were found to be conserved across animals, including humans 🧬🐸. This article highlights a shared genetic toolkit for embryonic development 🔬🌟🎁  doi.org/10.1016/j.yd...

Congrats Dr. Kewei Yu on your successful PhD defense!! She did a great job describing her work on a Drosophila cancer cachexia model. 🥳 @sfuscience.bsky.social

Getting heartfelt comments and positive feedback on the last day of classes makes all the hard work worth it. My students were awesome and made it a real pleasure to teach.

So excited to share this as a new junior PI: My brand-new lab website! 🎉🪰🌀 www.bischofflab.com Please pass it on to young, motivated researchers looking for PhD positions 😊 And for the #FluorescenceFriday community: don’t miss the SciArt Gallery! #CellBio #DevBio #PhDjob #PhDposition #Science

RIP Jimmy Cliff. His music played a big part in my young adulthood. Still love his music and am sad to know his voice is now gone.

New Research Alert! INN researchers, led by Dr. Lisa Julian, used 3D bioprinting to create self-folding brain tissues that reveal how genetic mutations disrupt early brain development. Read More: www.sfu.ca/neuro-instit...

Thanks for beating me to the punch! So so many times folks in vertebrate fields totally ignore findings from the 'lower organisms'. Let's value and respect the work across species!

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work on induced proximity 🤜🤛 and functional genomics! Join our team in Toronto 🇨🇦 to tackle major challenges in oncology and neurodegeneration. www.nature.com/naturecareer...

Great opportunity in an excellent lab!

Our lab is actively looking for posdocs and there is NOW an Open Call for Postdoc contracts (3 years) here: www.aei.gob.es/en/announcem...
