The fuck? Hard to even know where to start with all the things wrong here. (Also hope Glenn Northcutt doesn't see it -- he'll have a stroke.) Just appalling. not #neuroethology

@sortee.bsky.social’s code club has made it onto RDM weekly :D Excellent article by: @cecibaldoni.bsky.social @disnatalie.bsky.social @cdegroot.bsky.social @saoirsekelleher.eco

I have a problem. Wait for the Italian version and risk spoilers, or buy the English one and have MISMATCHING editions? These are the questions that keep me awake at night. #philippullman #thebookofdust

📚 We just launched a guide on starting code clubs—born from #SORTEE (un)conference! Real tips, real experiences, from the community to the community! Read it, use it, adapt it, and most importantly, help us make it better! Open science communities for the win! 💙💚 sortee.github.io/start-your-c...

🔽

Coming up on Monday! Excited for this one

What's the last thing you see before going to sleep? For me it's a vampire dog.

Data sharing discouraged institutionally.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand: "Statistical analysis used SPSS"

“Data available on request”

Spread wide and far to your network! 🎉 SORTEE Conference is on next week! @sortee.bsky.social

Day three of #Inktober! How to say a Sorex araneus from a Sorex coronatus? Well, the #crown is telling!

🚨We want you! 🚨 Come join @saoirsekelleher.eco and me at the SORTEE Conference to talk about starting your Code Club! Find out more about the conference here: sortee.org/upcoming/

Take note, repost far and wide. The Dechmann Lab are hiring ✨

PhD Alert! 😍 Our lab is hiring a PhD student to study how shrews shrink in winter and grow in spring. Yes, you read that right! tinyurl.com/shrinkingshr... Join us at the @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social, study a super cool animal, and join the @imprs-qbee.bsky.social community! DM me for questions!

Happy Birthday MaxCine 🎂 This October, MaxCine celebrates 15 years of inspiring young scientists. Join us to celebrate this achievement at the MAXCINE FESTIVAL: three days of science, art, ideas, and community. Come in person or participate online. Talks are FREE. Registrations are open👉 maxcine.de

I might be biased (cat-biased?), but this #pawsitconf submission is just too cuuuuuute 🥹 Thank you for sharing Fennec's talk with us, @cecibaldoni.bsky.social ✨ This is truly getting me pumped for conf in the most adorable way possible 🐈 #rstats #python #databs

🕷️ 🚨 Are you at the #DZG in Berlin next week? @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social my PhD @nadjageiger.bsky.social and I are very excited to tell you the latest about our spider sleep 💤 work! Come check out our talks on Friday and ask all your questions! :) 🚨 🕷️

🚨 PhD alert! IMPRS brain & behavior in Bonn just opened their calls for applications. Great PhD funding opportunities. Check it out! PS- I just joined their faculty, meaning you could do a rotation in my lab or even a PhD with me on spider sleep 🙃 Apply! 🚨

📢 This year, we’re hosting seven public lectures that anyone can attend completely free of charge between Sept 15 and 18! 📅 Registration for online attendance is open. 🔗 www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/OSSS... #OpenScience #OSSS25 #LMUOSC

WE WANT YOU! 🫵 Our organiser @kylieainslie.bsky.social is leaving us to go Down Under. 🦘 We're looking for new organisers to continue with @josefina-bernardo.bsky.social to keep @rladiesamsterdam.bsky.social the wonderful community it is. If you're in NL and interested, please get in touch! 💜

Scientists discover the secret behind the shrew’s amazing ability to shrink their brains 🧠 The clever trick sheds unwanted weight without compromising too much on cognition. Find the 5-letter word 👇 Study by @cecibaldoni.bsky.social Dechmann Lab #shrewcrew et al www.ab.mpg.de/743885/news_...

The secret to shrew brain shrinkage? 🤔 Not cell loss, but water loss! Our new paper shows that brain cells shrink by losing water, a wild feat of brain plasticity 🤯 Check the paper! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @labdavalos.bsky.social @batichica.bsky.social

I just learned that a group of stingrays is called a fever. It might be my favorite animal group noun so far. Right after a.gaggle.of.geese.

💎 Discovering hidden gems in scientific literature every Friday! 🧬🔍 This week's find is a fascinating insight into trash films. 🌱✨ Check out the paper here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0304422X16300821 #FridayFind

Great example of #quarto website, with JS and CSS features, and an amazing readme file! If you have time, give Kylie some feedback!

Next Open Science Meet-Up | 26.06.2025 | 14.00-14.45 CET: https://t1p.de/neows Topic: Open Science and the European Union II – OpenAIRE treasure hunt in the University Alliance Gateway.

Unbelievable.

Did you miss my talk about Scrollytelling with Quarto? 🥲 Well, despair no more! You can find it in the @rladiesamsterdam.bsky.social Youtube channel! Check out also the Github repo I built for this talk, you can find a working example and the slides I used: github.com/cecibaldoni/... <3

Ready! 😎 #EMBO #EMBOvertebratemodels #conference

Yesterday I made a shrew pattern, and I'm obsessed 😍 It's already my laptop wallpaper and my WhatsApp background 🤣 If you like it, you can find the downloadable set at this #kofi link ❤️ 👇🏽 ko-fi.com/s/1a22a60149

This is so exciting 🤩 #shrewsareweird, and never cease to impress! 👇🏽🤔

Our new preprint is out! 🧬 In this great study with @labdavalos.bsky.social, we looked at the mysterious pancreas of Aselli in #shrews: an unexpected site for plasma cell differentiation and a critical hub of immune function beyond the bone marrow! 😍 Have a look! 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Next week! ⬇️ #rstats #rladies @quarto.org

Flamingos are just something else 😍🦩

Did this week’s #TidyTuesday… on a Wednesday 😅 Took a bit longer because I tried something new: my first #Shiny app! It's a bilingual (🇬🇧/🇮🇹) dashboard of seismic activity near Vesuvius 🌋 Repo in the first comment! 👇 #rstats #DataViz Thanks to @libbyheeren.bsky.social for curating the dataset!

Coming up later today!

Yuhuuu 🥳😍 thank you so much for the mention! And I take the opportunity to advertise SORTEE super quarto series this month: events.humanitix.com/sortee-works...

Join me on May 28th to talk about Scrollytelling 🥳😍

Shrew-news keep coming today! Look at the shrew genome assembly 😍🧬 (I saw that drawing too around 🤣) #shrewrules @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @dechman.bsky.social

🚨Shrew paper alert!🚨 In @elife.bsky.social, in this paper led by @labdavalos.bsky.social we found that shrews reprogram their hypothalamus to shrink in winter, tweaking gene expression to save energy and survive the cold! 👉🏼 doi.org/10.7554/eLif... @dechman.bsky.social @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social

Random, but very welcome, encounter ❤️ Always nice to see my stickers somewhere 🤩 #shrews

Ehi Bluesky! 🦋 I recently opened a Ko-fi page 🎉 and I’ll keep it updated with my silly illustrations. If you like what you see there, consider supporting it, so I can make some more shrew related art ❤️ Join me at ko-fi.com/cecibaldoni #KofiPromoteChallenge

I made a bunch of silly colourful animals!🐒❤️ Oh right! You can find the version with colours here 👇🏽 ko-fi.com/cecibaldoni
