meine deutsche Uni, vor ein paar Monate: "gerne können sie Vorschläge zu Bürokratie-Abbau machen" - meine deutsche Uni, heute: "das LAGuS hat bemängelt, dass es für die Nutzung von Regale keine klare Dokumentation gibt. Hier ist eine Musterbedienungsanleitung für Regale - zum Anpassen" - ich: 🤯

Series of wins for our lab these weeks/month: - successful PCRs of "routine" markers - one Postdoc candidate awarded funds to visit for 2 years - algae culture going strong - Ass. Prof. getting settled - visit from a potential MSCA candidate - team building and growing - first course in prep...

It's been 5 years (give or take a few months) since I last did basic mol bio labwork. DNA prep and PCR... Now, after a pandemic, parental leave, industry gap, moving to a new institute, setting up a new lab, my PCR (kinda) worked ⚗️. Okay, just one of the 2. And 3/4 of the samples. Still a win. 😁

finally. After weeks of mistakes (me) and tinkering around (my tech assts) we got a very good algae culture going ⚗️. My mistakes so far: literally grilling a batch because I set light intensity too high in new chamber - using not pure enough water for culture medium - getting day/night rythm wrong

Kid now deeply persuaded the easter bunny needs to see painted eggs at the front door to know they have to come in. Bunny will then take eggs and hide them in home, and also leave some chocolate. Next year I'll had bells to the mix (that's the french version of easter) to complete the confusion

Gah. Just trying to set up a new work computer AND sorting a bit what accumulated on various drives over the years-in-between-wo/-research. Driving me nuts. On the bright side: new laptop is SLEEK and I got killer new monitors

best part about new professorship? I get books - ordered by librarian and on permanent loan. Once a bookworm, always a bookwork 🤓. Today's "harvest" is wonderful.

isn't anyone worried about NCBI (genomes and all) disappearing? 🧪

haven't read the paper yet... such a beautiful cover pic! 💗

Today I held a pipet in my hand again. I won't say how long it has been since it last happened. Suffice to say: it was nice. And the test run worked.

and another 5-yr (!) postdoctoral position at GEOMAR Kiel on advancing seagrass assisted evolution, see details and link to apply www.geomar.de/en/karriere/.... Omics and pop genetics knowledge required, seagrass and coastal ecology desirable. @geomarkiel.bsky.social DM me for inquiries

really interesting! I wonder how well this approach would work on non mammals, seing as phylogenetic distances between species of even the same genus are so large. Relatively. Pan <--> Homo much lower than Daphnia sp1 <--> Daphnia sp2

when it rains it pours. So sick of curve balls and bad news and setbacks. I am not talking about big world politics, which are bad- only about the small story of a scientist relocating for the nth time, with so many problems

the day started normally. And now I seem to have several luxury problems and/or with bad timing on my hands. Ah, the joys of PI life are back.

Hey #genomics researchers, I am shopping for an electrophoresis system for sample & library QC (RNA/DNA), any opinions on QIAxcel vs. TapeStation? I am used to work with Agilent solutions, but it doesn't mean they are the best. We are working with short & long fragments, low and medium concentration

aaah, the good old succeeding-by-spite. Kuddos to you, Dr. Napaaqtuk! Isn't it sad that we all know exactly what you mean? 😔

there are still 6 days left to apply to join my group at Senckenberg Museum Frankfurt as a PhD Student in #Paleobiology! Are you interested in how the rock record shapes our undersanding of macroevolutionary dynamics of #plants in the #Mesozoic? @sgn.one www.senckenberg.de/en/career/sc...

Pictures on the wall of new office ✅

now officially really in the office in Rostock! Not yet reached the stage with pictures on the wall, also, my laptop is too old (?!? 2021 ffs!) to connect to nice new monitors via DP, my phone drives me crazy, BUT... there is progress!

Ich wollte beim nächsten (geplanter!) BT- Wahl engagieren und Wahlhelferin werden. Rate mal, wer jetzt Ende Januar umzieht, das Bundesland/Stadt wechselt und nicht mal weiß, OB sie überhaupt wählen kann?!?

today is my migraversary. Twenty years ago, I left France and arrived in Germany to start my PhD. As a EU citizen I seldom encountered challenges due to my non-german nationality, a hige privilege. Here is to hoping freedom of movement will only increase further and not regress in the future 🇩🇪🇪🇺🌍

I knew it and I forgot... Being a PI is a huge game of buying time. One project shifts, a funding deadline becomes irrelevant? Time bought to do something else that has become more urgent... 😬

Deutsche Hochschullehrer*innen: bin ich die einzige die sich sehr daran stört, dass die Cover vom letzter Forschung & Lehre KI generierte "Kunst" ist? Ich weiss das Angebot des DHV zu schätzen, Beratung ist gut, aber... ist KI Einsatz wirklich notwendig an der Stelle?

🧪 I want to set up a teaching unit in a genetics course where we use sourdough starters to learn about evolution, sequencing, and diversity. Has anyone done that and can share experience, pitfalls, materials? The genetics undergrad course spans a full semester, we have a bit of time for culture!

Time for end-of-year clean up. I am checking my (new) followers... Reminder: I'll block anyone with a dubious or non-existant bio, as well as those with mostly bot/AI generated content or only reposting political memes/ lifted-off stuff. Even if I agree with the message.

Gestern wurden an der Uni Rostock alle Neuberufenen von der Rektorin empfangen. Ich fand das sehr schön und habe viele sehr spannende Gespräche gehabt. Unter anderen mit Pressestelle, über... Bluesky 💙 mal schauen was daraus wird.

sooo many talented and smart and innovative people on the post doc market, and I can only take one now 😱🤯🤓

I am looking for an ERC-funded postdoc to work on spatial proteomics of microalgae (red algae and glaucophytes). The ideal candidate will have experience with mass spec and data analysis (R), but above all a keen interest in broad eukaryote evolution and protists #protistsonsky (1/2)
