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

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.

🧬 The Project: You will identify the Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) driving head horn development by comparing "horn" vs. "no-horn" phenotypes. 🛠️ Methods: developmental single-cell omics, RNAi & HCR imaging 🎓 You: MSc in DevBio, Genetics, or EvoBio. Experience with sc-sequencing is a ➕!
