📢 Open Call! The Max Perutz Labs invite applications for a Tenure-Track Professorship in Genome Biology. We are particularly interested in researchers investigating the molecular and biophysical mechanisms underlying genome function and regulation. More details ➡️ tinyurl.com/3t7vvdct

Let's go! Super excited to partner with @richardsever.bsky.social and the fantastic @openrxiv.bsky.social team - Preprints have been the best thing that happened to science publishing during my lifetime, and we're happy @qedscience.bsky.social can make preprints do more 👊

The death of American intellectual and scientific leadership. Not only Harvard does this: Stanford, Brown, Boston U: it’s across all higher education. MADA (dumb again)

OMFG, Zima chce jako 1. prioritu zvysit pocet ERC o polovinu 😂 (smich skrz slzy). Kolik ERCs opustilo PrF kvuli tomu, ze tam stestim nemohli vydrzet za jeho dekanovani? Jaka systemova opatreni udelala jeho PrF pro ERC zadatele? Od administrativni podpory po mentoring? [repost vlakna z twitteru]

Anyone with experience doing #metagenomics #microbiome of small insects, e.g. mosquitoes? 🦟🦠 Trying to figure out feasibility of doing individual metagenomes vs pools of individuals. I see both approaches are still used in the literature. My concern would be getting enough DNA from individuals.

Kicking off our third day of #argonautes2025 with a talk by Nobel Prize winner and all around amazing person, scientist, and mentor, Victor Ambros! 🐙

The Argonautes 2025 - we made a special gift for participants - a card set with 32 different Argonautes + an extension pack with four Nobel prize winners from the small RNA field. Mello, Fire, Ambros & Ruvkun as jokers :-) #argonautes2025

I thought this was way cool. It’s a fire hydrant painted in Starry Night by Van Gogh in Kirkwood.

When a beetle crawls over the surface of a globe, it doesn't notice that the track it has covered is curved ...

Argonautes are coming :-) ... soon at @imgprague.bsky.social ... finishing preparations. Still missing a few things like drums, guitar, badges, beer ... but it's under control. I think. I hope. :-)) #argonautes2025

Does selfing allow or even lead to massive genome reshuffling, expansion and sky high homozygousity? Come and find out at posters 29 and 42 this afternoon, only at #eseb2025 and learn about an organism whose genome looks like it went through a blender and came out high repetitive and homozygous.

Disaster strikes today. Czechia is mourning.

Evolution’s eye game is wild, but mollusks take it to another level CRISPR in apple snails gives us a new model to dissect how nature rebuilds complex organs like the camera-type eyes we humans possess It turns out Evolution doesn’t just innovate, it rewinds, remixes, & regenerates rdcu.be/ezw0t

🚀 Today we're launching the 'Night Science Institute', a non-for-profit organization to lead a cultural shift in science! You may say we're dreamers 😉, but we think we're not the only ones. Perhaps today you will join us to make the Day Science and Night Science parts of the process live as one!

Time to register is running out! One day left!

Time to register is running out! One day left!

last call! submit your abstract by tonight to be selected for one of the many oral presentations at the leading European Transposon Meeting. We are very much looking forward to your contribution and attendance!

REMINDER: The registration deadline for ARGONAUTES 2025 is 31/7. It won't be extended. So, if you want to join us in Prague for the most important 🫣 Argonaute & RNA silencing meeting of the year, you have one week left! #microRNA #piRNA #RNAi

Talks were selected & the final program was built. It will appear on the website the next week. There are three weeks left till the registration deadline! This is probably the main RNA silencing meeting in 2025 - looking at silencing from the perspective of effector proteins. argonautes.img.cas.cz

This didn’t just attack me, it enraged me

ARGONAUTES 2025 We are will finalize talk selection the next week, so we may include applications past the June 30th deadline if submitted before this weekend. Also, Rezidence EMMY is the nearest hotel to the venue and the place where the speakers are staying. #RNAi #piRNA #microRNA #argonautes2025
