our AIMMS festival Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam was such a great success! Thanks to all our researchers, from PhD to prof, our sponsors and external partners. We will continue to build interdisciplinary connections to accelerate molecular research

De klimaatbeloftes van olie- en gasbedrijven zijn een wassen neus. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek dat Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam klimaatwetenschapper Mathieu_Blondeel samen met twee Japanse wetenschappers uitvoerde naar de klimaatstrategie van de fossiele industrie. vu.nl/nl/nieuws/2023…

SAVE THE DATE! On Sept 4th 2023 the NLSEB Junior Board organises the 2nd lab rotation event for PhDs and Postdocs of evolutionary biology, hosted by Amsterdam Institute for Life and Environment in Amsterdam.

Register (link below) and join us for an afternoon filled with talks by PIs, PhDs and Postdocs on evolution research, a tour of facilities & a borrel afterwards. Program will follow soon! We’re looking forward to seeing you in September. docs.google.com/forms/d/1hsDmw…

Happy to host the NLSEB lab rotation event at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam!

Come work with us! We have 3 new #vacancies in #ecology at assistant/associate prof level. RT = 💚 Community Ecology ru.nl/en/working-at/… Theoretical/Computational Ecology ru.nl/en/working-at/… Species-Environment Interactions ru.nl/en/working-at/…

Excellent scientific detective work by Amsterdam Institute for Life and Environment fungal researcher Vasilis Kokkoris and team: They made the amazing discovery that the model species in AMF research produces dimorphic spores! Next questions are WHY, HOW and WHEN?

Do you have experience in microscopy, image analysis, fluid dynamics, network theory, electrophysiology, and/or machine learning? Join us as we track the flows & structure of mycorrhizal networks. We have a biophysics post-doc position open in Amsterdam amolf.nl/jobs/postdoc-i…

Four-legged animals (the tetrapods) heavily rely on sounds to communicate with others. In our new preprint we used phylogenetic methods to study the tempo and mode of vocal evolution across frogs, birds and mammals: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… 🐸🐭🐦

On my first train to Bielefeld #Behaviour2023! Don’t miss our symposium in the afternoon tomorrow (R) on #socialfluids #socialtransfers and socially transferred materials! Milk, vomit, sex, eggs, all the interesting bits!

Congrats Justin!
