Save the date! 🗓️ #GoenomiX is back with another SPIRIT Summer School: “Frontiers in Molecular Zoology.” Hands-on genome editing, RNAi, and transgenesis. 🧪🦎 📍 Göttingen, Germany 📅 Sept 21–25, 2026 🔗 Details: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/summer+sc... #MolecularBiology #Zoology #Genomics #PhD #Postdoc

🧬 3-day hands-on training course to help 20 PhDs/Postdocs refine their experimental plans for emerging model systems. From "how does this work?" to a concrete working plan. ✅ Hands-on training ✅ Scientific symposium ✅ Networking @dfg.de funded RTG 3072. @goettingen-campus.de @uni-goettingen.de

🚨 Postdoc Opportunity as part of DFG Research Training Group "GönomiX" at the University of Göttingen! ​We are seeking a bioinformatician/scientist to study cross-species comparison of Gene Regulatory Networks using our "Göttingen Zoo" of emerging model systems. #GoenomiX @bucherlab.bsky.social

Our work on chromatin evolution in brown algae is now published in @natecoevo.nature.com! We show that developmentally complex brown algae evolved without epigenetic silencing pathways long thought universal, underscoring why non-model lineages are important to study. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Why is publishing so expensive?" It's a question I hear all the time, so we at @biologists.bsky.social thought we'd try to dispel some of the myths around publishing economics & provide transparency around our costs. Today, we publish editorials in all 5 of our journals - links in the thread below.

📣📣📣 A post-doc opportunity not to be missed in an ATIP-Avenir funded lab in the @i2bcparissaclay.bsky.social (and our neighbor 🪰🔬🧬)! Heterochromatin, spermatogenesis, meiotic drive and Drosophila, with @cecilecourret.bsky.social. Apply before the position fills!

📣 Last days to apply for a joint postdoctoral position between Maria João Amorim´s lab and mine on a wonderful project on how herpes (HSV-1) perturbs the centrosome. Learn a lot about cell biology and host-pathogen interactions! In collaboration with Colin Crump (University of Cambridge).

Germ cells have their own versions of core transcription factors and fertility depends on them. We're hiring a PhD student to figure out how! 📢 Fly genetics + proteomics + genomics. Fully funded. Aarhus University 🇩🇰 Deadline May 1 👇 Please share with anyone who might be interested!

How does the piRNA pathway solve the self vs. non-self problem? 🧬 Since piRNAs come from single-stranded RNA, how does the cell choose the right ones? For years, "piRNA clusters" were seen as THE privileged source. But are they really special and earmarked for biogenesis? (1/19)

Apply now! The 2026 call for the EMBO Installation Grants Programme is now open with a deadline of 15 April 12:00 midday CEST. 🧪 More information can be found here: https://www.embo.org/funding/fellowships-grants-and-career-support/installation-grants/ #LifeSciences #research #funding

Last year with @ksiudeja.bsky.social @linneweberlab.bsky.social @michaelrera.bsky.social and @nkonst4.bsky.social we brought back the JEDI meeting from its dormancy. A ton of work but very rewarding to see a community forming. A similar attempt is now 👉https://youngpisymposium2026.com/registration/
