Super cool work on metabolism and regeneration! Congrats

Springboard for an international scientific career! 🧬🧪🔭⚛️🧠🌱 Call for #MaxPlanckResearchGroups launched; applications are possible until October 14, 2025 www.mpg.de/max-planck-r... #ScienceCareer

Mexican tetras living on the surface (left) look dramatically different from populations that were washed into caves generations ago (right) – and not just on the outside. Featuring @rohner.bsky.social‬ and others. knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries, no matter what Trump says. A tariff is an import tax, raising the price of almost everything we buy. Tariffs are also regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Director at Max Planck - a unique position! The Open Call for Expressions of Interest in Max Planck Directorships is open now and can be submitted by the 31st of October 2025. ➡️ mpg.de/directors - Please share the Open Call among potential candidates.

Best Postdoc Symposium Oral Presentation award - Jasmin Camacho @stowersinstitute.bsky.social ! Congratulations! Evolutionary rewiring of insulin signaling in Nectar bats #PASEDB2025 #nectarbats #sweettooth

I am beyond thrilled to present my PhD paper with @rohner.bsky.social. We phenotyped a mutation in the circadian regulator Cryptochrome-1 that has evolved repeatedly in subterranean lineages. Now online at @cp-iscience.bsky.social: www.cell.com/iscience/ful... @stowersgrad.bsky.social

The MPI for Biological Cybernetics is seeking two independent Max Planck Research Groups working in scientific disciplines relevant to the institute. Applications should be sent no later than 15th August 2025. Visit our call for applications on the website of the institute for detailed information!

Awesome! Welcome to the dark side! 😈

Are inversions the (re)new "locus of evolution"?

Couldn’t agree more. Plus it’s actually really healthy! #Move #10000steps

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.  It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

We developed CrossFilt, a read-level, cross-species filtering approach that avoids these errors without sacrificing usable data. It outperforms all existing strategies and exposes just how much signal in comparative genomics has been misread. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

We—Nicolas @rohner.bsky.social, Lauren @lsaunders.bsky.social, Arica @abeisaw.bsky.social & Sepand @rastapopolus.bsky.social—are planning the first German #fish ( #zebrafish, #medaka, #killifish, others) #meeting for September 2026. If you're a PI & want info, get in touch!

Researchers at @scrippsocean.bsky.social and @gpsucsd.bsky.social are comparing methods of carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere, discovering that genetically enhanced crops could be the best way to meet CO2 removal at the scale it needs. ➡️ bit.ly/4d3u48f

If you're a new PI within 5 years of your first faculty position, here are two fantastic grants to help develop your research: the Kickstart Travel Grant and ECR Visiting Fellowships Find out more at biologists.com/grants/#jeb The next application deadline is 6 June Please repost

Happy to share our latest paper, dealing with the long-standing question of how cave fish adapt their reproduction to nutrient-poor environments. #EvoDevo #ReproductiveBiology Congrats to lead author and doctoral student: Fanning Xia! doi.org/10.1016/j.yd...

I am happy to share a paper that is finally accepted after (way too many) rounds of revision: Further insights into regulatory evolution: we identified >600 miRNAs in cavefish putatively contributing to cave adaptation. Great work by Tatha Biswas! nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I posted about this study last year on X, but it doesn’t hurt to remind folks here how cool #bats are and about the kinds of physiological adaptations that evolved to process sugars effectively. Great work by J. Camacho @rohner.bsky.social et al www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Be careful online today. This is the one day a year when people post false information on the internet

I would be disappointed in Harvard, but I never expected better.

I'm sorry, but if it takes me more than 30 min to log in to have the honor of reviewing a paper for your journal, I probably won't get around to finishing it. I don't understand why you make me jump through so many hoops to do work for free for you

Exciting science on your end-of-year wish list?!? >> apply to our postdoc and PhD positions and start 2025 with a new job @UniBasel

📣 Please share: We’re hiring a tenure-track Group Leader in Multicellular Systems to explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving the formation, maintenance, or destabilization of tissues, organs and organisms. Apply at: www.fmi.ch/education-ca...

This was a period of time where taxpayer funded initiatives funded science at unprecedented rates. These efforts made America a global social, economic, and educational powerhouse. In 1966 at the peak of the Apollo program, we spent 2.5%GDP on science. Now? Now we spend 0.6%GDP on science. 🧪

Germany's ZB MED signs publishing partnership agreement with MDPI. At a time when MDPI is considered predatory to most, this is a baffling move. 🤑🤢 Doesn't reflect good on #BioMedicalResearch in Germany. www.mdpi.com/about/announ... #SciPub #ScientificPublishing #PredatoryPublishers #OpenAccess

Super excited to announce my new lab at the University of Michigan opening Jan 2025! 🎉We’ll study how cells work together to shape the GI tract, with ties to regeneration & disease. Hiring at all levels—esp. a research tech to help launch the lab! Info: huyckelab.org #DevBio #CellBio #Hiring

A few days left to apply 🙌🏻

Congratulations, Kim! ❤️🦴

Amazing PI, amazing place, amazing program! If you don’t apply there, then, clearly you enjoy making bad life choices…

We need spam filters for social media…

Is there a starter pack for EvoDevo people?

📣 📣 📣 Still lots of TT jobs being advertised: The 2024-2025 list of faculty and postdoc positions in ecology and evolutionary biology is out! Be sure to check out this active and helpful community run resources! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

PhDs snd postdocs - the new precariat😰

Second talk from the session on “Comparative genomic models of disease” by Nicolas Rohner (@rohner.bsky.social) from @unimuenster.bsky.social about metabolic adaptation to nutrient limitation in vertebrates.

Fascinating talk from @rohner.bsky.social on Comparative genomic models of disease. Highlighting the incredible longevity of cavefish and their feast/famine lifestyle. He even showed a cavefish that was 24y/o - intriguingly feeding normally hasn’t decreased it’s lifespan @evomg-bcn.bsky.social

Spot on!

Excited to share our latest paper on 3D-spheroid development in #cavefish #OpenAccess @JEZB1904, with star postdoc @tathabiswas leading the charge and @chongbeizhao providing invaluable support! @ScienceStowers #tools #newmodels #collaboration onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

We have shown that zebrafish larvae develop fatty liver upon starvation. With @rohner.bsky.social Lab we asked if Mexican cavefish, an amazing model of starvation resistance, collect excess fat to survive long periods of starvation. To our surprise, they did not get fatty liver!!(3/5)
