I compiled a list of 350 #funding opportunities for #postdoctoral research #fellowships: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J2M_tQgoqV4ivpfEClh9qs9f2KQN2O1G3Jpda2aoHfQ/edit?usp=sharing I realized I should share this again after mentioning it to some folks at the #EFP2026

We ask: How do head and brain evolve? Can we control pests with RNAi? We use the red flour beetle as model, pioneer tools for studying gene function and develop databases for emerging models (EMOBase). #goenomix
We are looking for someone to lead the new Facility for Protein Biochemistry & Biophysics at the MPI of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg — please spread the word and apply if you are interested!
🚀 Job alert: We’re starting a new Facility – and you can lead it! The MPI-IE & @mariekeoudelaar.bsky.social are hiring a Head of Protein Biochemistry & Biophysics to launch and lead a brand-new Core Facility in Freiburg 🇩🇪. Once-in-lifetime-chance. Details ⬇️ jobs.ie-freiburg.mpg.de/jobposting/b...
Big thanks for collaborating on tool development, Michalis!
Mapping neurons in the brain of a beetle, by Gregor Bucher's team @bucherlab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Happy we could make a minor contribution by providing a Brainbow construct, which the team used to map neuronal projections Tribolium Brainbow soon available on Addgene
#ECR, PhDs and postdocs, take note! Are you aiming for a professorship and would like to lead an independent junior research group? Then come to our info session about the DFG's Emmy Noether Programme, its eligibility requirements and your funding opportunities. Full Details▶️ sohub.io/gnb1
A warm welcome in the GönomiX-team, Eric!
1/2 And here comes our first #GoenomiX PhD student. 🥳 Welcome, Erik! 🔬Research: Molecular mechanisms behind molluscan shell development 🔭Looking forward to: Multi-method approaches to collect and analyze my results
A small contribution to an important topic, in Nature Reviews Biodiversity. I highlight @howbrainsevolve.bsky.social and Harvey's work in 2000 and illustrate it's pivotal role in our understanding into the principles of brain evolution. Have a read - it's short! www.nature.com/articles/s44...

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇
Amazing talk by Nico Posnien: everyone knows the "Freddy Mercury" genes (the known core genes of GRNs) but the other band members (I forgot their names) influence size and shape of morphological structures.
🗣️Invited speakers are @isabelalmudi.bsky.social, Mathilde Paris, Benjamin Prud'homme, Matteo Rauzi, @johnnyds.bsky.social, @metteh-thorsager.bsky.social, @tickphysiology.bsky.social & @verabiol.bsky.social More information here: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/summer+sc...
