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

#TCTeAC !

🚀 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

How it started. How it's going.

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

TIL that one of the books removed from the Armed Forces Library because it "had DEI" in it is Ben Barres' autobiography. Remember that you can buy and should read this book because Ben was badass and an amazing scientist mitpress.mit.edu/978026253954...

In Prague on Monday? Join my night science workshop on the creative process in science: openness, improvising ideas, how a hypothesis can be a liability, AI for hypothesis generation, import/export of ideas, puzzle switching, the 2 languages, questions, contradictions & awe 🙏 @svobodalab.bsky.social

Just got back from celebrating @snowhydro.bsky.social book launch... MELTDOWN on shelves now! Glaciers, adventure, #womeninstem, #scicomm, #mentalhealth. Run to your libraries and bookstores!! 💙📚

We are delighted to share our new preprint “The evolution of gene regulatory programs controlling gonadal development in primates” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

At the platform, mom and son watching the #TCTeAC participants loading into the train: son: "Mom, where are they going?" mom: "They're going for some great adventure!" ... So, true story!

#TCTeAC ... what's more than organizing one conference? Two conferences! This one is more Day Science on biology of Argonaute proteins from prokaryotes to Metazoa. Great line up of invited speakers. Some special fun included!
