Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down. Study, think, create, and grow. Teach yourself and teach others. 🧠

Don't sacrifice your mental health for the sake of academic or career success. Prioritize self-care.

If you are looking for a PhD position, check this one out!

We’re looking for a postdoc shared with Oliver Stegle. Join us: design ambitious multi-sample single-cell experiments in developing embryos, model temporal response patterns, test predictions. Open to different backgrounds and expertise. If you’re interested, get in touch soon!

How about this: Eliminate the job "post-doc". After a PhD you are a "researcher", and no punishment for multiple stops. At any point (age blind) you can apply for starting grant funds. You apply for consolidator funds w/in 7 years of starting lab (unlinked to PhD date).

In every project you end up geting to the "point of creative frustration", which leaves you with 3 options

Following the move: bsky.app/profile/bpijua… See you there!

Failure is always in the background of any creative project; when the experiments are not working or the results don’t seem to make sense. But for discovery, you can’t deny yourself the permission to fail, and we should better teach failure in all its glory.

We’re looking for PhD students to join the lab! 🧫🧑‍🔬 Curious about how metabolic processes shape patterning and morphogenesis? Enthusiastic about stem cell models for human development? - Then apply through the VBC PhD program! training.vbc.ac.at/phd-program/ ‼️Deadline: April 15‼️
