This is an amazing opportunity for those interested in cerebellum biology. @marisepp.bsky.social is an outstanding scientist and deeply invested in the development of her colleagues.

I've started my own lab 🎉 PhD/postdoc positions available - reach out if curious about cerebellum evo-devo and autism spectrum disorders. We’re based at Uni Tartu, Institute of Genomics (home to Estonian Biobank), and funded by @simonsfoundation.org @embo.org, and the Estonian Research Council.

Interested in the evolution of vertebrate organs and cell types? Then this is a must read review by @margaridamcm.bsky.social Beautifully explaining the interplay between genome changes, selection forces, development and evolution.

Our internal organs are evolutionary marvels. New technologies are transforming our understanding of the evolution of vertebrate organs. You can find more by reading here: rdcu.be/e5EgU #EvoBio #EvoDevo 🐟🦎🐢🦇🐊🦜

The final (and my favorite) chapter of my PhD is now officially published! Extremely grateful to all our collaborators, especially to @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social for their hard work, and to @steinaerts.bsky.social and @kaessmannlab.bsky.social for their guidance and advice!

We are thrilled that our study on the evolution of gene regulation in mammalian cerebellum development – led by @ioansarr.bsky.social, @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social, in collaboration with @steinaerts.bsky.social – is now out in @ScienceMagazine! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Thank you to @yaseminsaplakoglu.bsky.social, who wrote a fantastic article for @quantamagazine.bsky.social about our studies on the evolution of the avian pallium. Love it! shorturl.at/vmTLq

Intelligence Evolved at Least Twice in Vertebrate Animals | Quanta Magazine

Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence multiple times.

Happy to share the latest story from @arnaudkr.bsky.social's lab @embl.org! With @guidobarzaghi.bsky.social, we used Single Molecule Footprinting to quantify how often chromatin is accessible at enhancers after TF and chromatin environment changes!

Excited to share the final chapter of my PhD with @kaessmannlab.bsky.social - started with @marisepp.bsky.social in 2018, reimagined after visiting @steinaerts.bsky.social, with amazing contributions by the brilliant @tyamadat.bsky.social. Extremely grateful to the whole team for this collaboration!

How does gene regulation shape brain evolution? Our new preprint dives into this question in the context of mammalian cerebellum development! rb.gy/dbcxjz Led by @ioansarr.bsky.social, @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social, in collaboration with @steinaerts.bsky.social
