aaannd today again! I just blocked someone who felt very patronizing, reminded me of the other place 🤢

ok I am off to buy a fire extinguisher. Guess who is living on the 3rd floor, with nice balconies facing THE PLACE TO BE for fireworks tonight? Juuust the height where things go bang when fired from the ground- 🎆

Ouch. End of year check, I have not done a backup of my personal computer for a year. Or more? Not good. Running now. Perhaps after that I will try updating from W10 to W11. Not sure.

Join the SciLifeLab PULSE postdoc program for future leaders in Life Science, focusing on diversity, training, and research in various areas. Applications open Dec 2025 to Mar 2026. More info: https://www.scilifelab.se/research/pulse/ #postdoc

We're looking for a new colleague at Asssoc Prof level! Come join us in the Zoology Department at Stockholm University. A teaching profile in ecology, faunistics and/or physiology is beneficial. Find the full job advertisemnt here: su.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

one lecture away from christmas break 😵. Also technically two practical courses to be done, but since we're gonna play with lego and with Cj battey's shiny apps during these, that's only fun. At least for me. Pbly not for students though. 🤓

PhD position available for theoretical and statistical modeling in my joint @gevol.bsky.social project with @luisapallares.bsky.social on the evolution of transcriptional variability and its role in adaptation and evolutionary innovation. See job-portal.lmu.de/jobposting/6...

I have an unexpectedly free evening (kid fell asleep at 6PM). What I am gonna do? a) work on paper revisions b) prep lecture for thursday c) watch pride & prejudice for the xth time?

I am recruiting graduate students to my genomics-focused lab in EEB at Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Please spread the word if you know any students with an interest in a computational focus to genomics research! evol.mcmaster.ca/brian/evoldi...

🧬 PhD Position: Evolutionary & Comparative Genomics 🕷️ Join us at @uni-goettingen.de for a 3-year PhD (65% TV-L E13). We will investigate the genomic & phenotypic impact of gene duplication across 233 arthropod genomes! More infos 👇 and s.gwdg.de/eDrAAY #Evolution #Genomics #Bioinformatics

Ooooh noes, scientific journal scams found their way to me. Took them around a year to pick my new address... Didn't miss them.

Big news last week, our project within @gevol.bsky.social got funded! 🤩 @nturetz.bsky.social @pechmannm.bsky.social @posnienlab.bsky.social, Niko Prpic-Schäper and myself will look into molecular mechanisms and phenotypic consequences of paralog divergence in insects and chelicerates. Stay tuned!

PhD position available in evolutionary genomics/bioinformatics (hoehnalab.github.io/job_adverts/...). Topic: analyzing gene expression evolution across several firefly species and linking expression changes to genomic architecture. The position is jointly supervised with @anaevolcatalan.bsky.social

It's been a year! Lots of ups and downs, moving family, stitching everything back together (finding medical providers, where to buy my jogurt, making new friends, the list goes on) and setting a new lab from scratch, because of industry hiatus. I've got a good team.😍 Second year, here I come!

We are hiring the second cohort of EvoReSt PhD students. If you are interested in deep evolutionary questions, checkout: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/687607.html Apply here: obp.uni-goettingen.de/de-de/OBF/In...

Very proud of (not so little anymore) H, 4. for her latest drawing of a spider. Not one leg missin, all at the right place, there are even hints of chelicera 🕷️💗

I am excited to announce that the position of a senior postdoc (3 +3 years) in the field of theoretical biology is available in my group. The position provides the opportunity to closely interact with experimentalists and develop own research projects. Please RT. Details 👇: shorturl.at/iiiOv

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: 🤯

A few days left to apply for this job in my lab!

can AI at the very least do us a service and help people not send job apps out where minimum requirement of having a PhD is missing? thank you. It is no that I could just ignore them... It's more forms to fill!! (yes I am grumpy. tired from course)

Job alert! I am looking for someone who would like to join my lab as a senior researcher, permanent, with teaching included. My lab is new, I still have startup money, just sayin. DM or email me with questions. Deadline Aug. 11th, interviews in september. Ad here: jobs.uni-rostock.de/jobposting/c...

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

@posnienlab.bsky.social @pechmannm.bsky.social 😂

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!
