Can’t really describe the feeling of getting my first paper published, a mix of grateful, ecstatic & hopeful! For those interested in how bacteria rescue each other via conjugative AMR plasmids & how evolution affects these rescue networks, have a look: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

Bacteria can rescue each other from antibiotics via plasmids, where a bridge between neighbors can mean survival in an instant. How does the plasmid's history affect their rescue potential? Does a host-switching plasmid lineage extend the rescue network?journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

1⃣0⃣0⃣ Gunnhildur Yrsa Jónsdóttir leikur í dag sinn hundraðasta A-landsleik og er af því tilefni fyrirliði liðsins í dag. 🔥 Cap number 100 for Gunnhildur Yrsa Jónsdóttir today! #dottir

I am so incredibly proud of my brilliant friend Ilmur Jónsdóttir who recently published her first, first-author paper in mSphere 🦠👩‍🔬 She demonstrates that AMR plasmids are slipperly lil' buggers that get taken up by pretty much anything. Hyped for more! #JYUProud #JYUscience

I had the pleasure to compile this month's @EMBARK_JPIAMR #AMR digest: antimicrobialresistance.eu/category/amr-d… Featuring: *Global AMR drivers - Kasim Allel *Env. barriers to AMR - ANTIVERSA *MGE ecology - @mcastledine96, Ilmur Jónsdóttir *Origin of ARG mobility - CARe and many more!

Did your advisor just tell you to "do some stats" and now you have no idea what's going on? Run your first #GLM and are now totally confused? Is a GLM even appropriate for your data? If "yes" or "idk" to any of the above then this vid is for you! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=boPyjo…

I am so happy to see this out in the world! Our work exploring #turbidity 🟫⬛️and #predator_prey interactions in tadpoles is out in the Journal of Experimental Biology ! We find that the developmental environment shapes the way tadpoles response to visual stimuli 👁️⬛️👁️⬜️ #tadsrule #turbidityqueens

I am looking for a PhD researcher to work in #AMR, #plasmids, #CRISPR and #phage interactions in gut microbiome University of Jyväskylä. Apply before 31st July. ats.talentadore.com/apply/doctoral…

Get to know the wonderful Chloe Fouilloux (she/her) in this ECR Spotlight –out now in the Journal of Experimental Biology #WomenInSTEM Faculty of Mathematics and Science journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

On my way to #CRISPR2023 🧬🧫 So excited!! I really enjoyed making this poster & learned a lot of new cool skills (such as time management😅) You just have to trust the process!! I had a vision😇 You will find me at poster session #2 poster 102😊 Made entirely with Vectornator

The end is near! This **Friday at 12 p.m. Helsinki time**, to be precise. If you would like to watch my PhD defense live please feel free to slide into my DMs for the link. Poison frogs 🐸, ecology 🎍, behaviour 🔥 and surely some tears from my face! 🥲 Faculty of Mathematics and Science Bibiana Rojas

Response to sex-specific chemical signals depend on cue type (waterborne vs deposited) and focal individual sex: journals.biologists.com/jeb/article-ab…. By Justine C. with Emily Knott and Łukasz Michalczyk

If you're interested in tardigrades and how they can find their mate, my first thesis chapter is FINALLY out! #tardigrade #matechoice #PhD journals.biologists.com/jeb/article-ab…

I am so excited tell you that Justine C.'s tardigrade work is out in the world in Journal of Experimental Biology. 🌊🐻 She has spent over 2 years developing the protocol to make this paper a reality! Give this work some love & read about sex + chem. cues in the cutest microorganisms around!

Male and female tardigrades are indistinguishable, so how do they tell the sexes apart? Justine C. shows that female tardigrades can smell both sexes, hanging out with both, but males ignore other males and are only attracted to the scents of females journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

Four PhD positions available in ⁦University of Jyväskylä⁩ Finland, one of these in my research group! The topic is phage-bacterium interaction using environmental isolates, highly motivated candidates encouraged to apply! ats.talentadore.com/apply/doctoral…

Thousands of women and nonbinary people in Iceland gathered for the one-day strike for gender equality on Tuesday, which organizers called the country’s largest effort to protest workplace inequality in nearly five decades. nyti.ms/3rVEsMd

Looking for motivated ppl! Postdoc and PhD positions (1 each) available in an exciting European Research Council (ERC) funded project University of Jyväskylä diving into the world of ”giant” phages. Apply before 31.1. Links below.

Can't believe it's almost here! This Friday, I'll defend my PhD thesis, 'Exploring Tardigrade Reproduction: Multifaceted Insights into Sexual Selection and Evolutionary Strategies'. Curious about these tiny creatures? Read my thesis here: jyx.jyu.fi/handle/1234567…
