🧬 3-day hands-on training course to help 20 PhDs/Postdocs refine their experimental plans for emerging model systems. From "how does this work?" to a concrete working plan. ✅ Hands-on training ✅ Scientific symposium ✅ Networking @dfg.de funded RTG 3072. @goettingen-campus.de @uni-goettingen.de

🚨 Postdoc Opportunity as part of DFG Research Training Group "GönomiX" at the University of Göttingen! ​We are seeking a bioinformatician/scientist to study cross-species comparison of Gene Regulatory Networks using our "Göttingen Zoo" of emerging model systems. #GoenomiX @bucherlab.bsky.social

Our work on chromatin evolution in brown algae is now published in @natecoevo.nature.com! We show that developmentally complex brown algae evolved without epigenetic silencing pathways long thought universal, underscoring why non-model lineages are important to study. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Why is publishing so expensive?" It's a question I hear all the time, so we at @biologists.bsky.social thought we'd try to dispel some of the myths around publishing economics & provide transparency around our costs. Today, we publish editorials in all 5 of our journals - links in the thread below.
