This week, NC3 brings together numerous internationally leading scientists from various fields such as evolutionary and behavioural biology, ecology and philosophy at a conference in Münster to advance a novel synthesis of #individualisation.

Hey nerds, meet Astyanax Mexicanus. Surface dweller has eyes, bottom dweller not. Critter's brain cleared then imaged with a #lightsheet #microscope from 3i. @JohannaKowalko Lab Lehigh University. Sample courtesy of Renee Mapa. Keep your eyes on Renee. Happy #FluorescenceFriday

Exciting news! Starting October, the Rohner Lab will be Universität Münster where I’ll be taking the chair of animal physiology. It’s been an incredible 9+ years Stowers Institute working under Robb and A. Sánchez Alvarado. Looking forward to new adventures and opportunities ahead! Come visit!

Still digesting the landmark #Draghireport, but great to see the emphasis on R&I. Very happy with proposal to double support to ground-breaking fundamental research via the European Research Council! And the stance on preserving the ERC's independence. commission.europa.eu/topics/strengt…

Calling all emerging scientists - it’s time to send us an application! 😉😎 Lead your own #MaxPlanck Research Group w/ €2.7M in funding over 6 yrs, full independence & resources to hire staff. State-of-the-art infrastructure awaits you!🌟 Apply today➡️mpg.de/career/max-pla…

Amazing work by our stellar phd student @amruta_sn in the lab. Evolution is full of wonders. Please check it out!

Long mystery solved: Why do some cavefish have head horns? Turns out, they’ve been headbutting their way through life all along! 🐟🦄💥 #UnicornsAreReal #ScienceSolved onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Beautifully written, Kim. Shouldn’t be controversial. Life is complex and simple slogans most always wrong (not only in science unfortunately). Hope all is well!

Wieder was gelernt ;) @luschnig.bsky.social

Postdoc Position Available I am seeking an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to join my lab OMRF, studying Astyanax mexicanus cavefish to explore metabolic adaptation. Ideal candidates should have a strong background in metabolism and basic molecular biology skills. Please RT

Second talk from the session on “Comparative genomic models of disease” by Nicolas Rohner (Nicolas Rohner) from Universität Münster about metabolic adaptation to nutrient limitation in vertebrates.

Fascinating talk from Nicolas Rohner on Comparative genomic models of disease. Highlighting the incredible longevity of cavefish and their feast/famine lifestyle. He even showed a cavefish that was 24y/o - intriguingly feeding normally hasn’t decreased it’s lifespan EvoMG Program

Please RT: we have Swiss National Science Foundation -funded #Postdoc and #PhD positions in our lab, to investigate the gene regulatory dynamics during vertebrate skeletogenesis in a comparative setting (see doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… and doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… ) - apply by 31.12.24, start date by 1.2.25!

European friends, we must do whatever it takes to prevent this from coming to our home.

Adolf Hitler wurde am 30.01.1933 zum Reichskanzler ernannt. Im Parlament hatten die Nazis keine Mehrheit, sie hatten "nur" 33 Prozent der Stimmen bekommen. An die Macht kamen die Nazis mit der Unterstützung und im März 1933 mit den Stimmen der Konservativen. Niemals vergessen.

Now our job post is out in Nature Careers. We have recruited one and have a few more positions. Please RT and spread the news. ISSCR nature.com/naturecareers/…

PhD opportunity! The Comparative Genomics lab (Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE), UPF Barcelona) is seeking a PhD student to work on environmental DNA & mammalian conservation together with Esther Lizano ! apply now! CVs -> [email protected] #PhD #genomics #eDNA #conservation #Barcelona

We did it! 😀🎉 🍾🥂 Our Excellence Cluster Physics of Life (Physics of Life Dresden) got renewed until 2032! I am so proud of our team and all the great work we did to achieve this. At a personal level, I am really happy that the enormous effort that went into this process was successful,

Zotero is the best citation management software. It's free and doesn't monetize your data. But many folks have a hard time starting out on it. Here's a step-by-step tutorial to get you started on Zotero:
