It seems that the birdie also wanna learn some bioinformatics from #ABACBS2025

DECRA success rate is the lowest in 14 years, since 2012 (1st year the scheme ran). What a pathetic system we have for supporting new ideas, new people… DE26: 13.1% 25: 17.9 24: 19.6 23: 15.0 22: 19.7 21: 17.1 20: 16.0 19: 17.2 18: 16.3 17: 16.7 16: 16.4 15: 14.3 14: 13.6 13: 15.6 12: 12.8

Holy shark, it’s an academic shark tank in #ABACBS2025

The Shark Tank has begun! A fantastic initiative by the postdoc community to help build collaboration and support postdocs in pitching their grants. @abacbs.bsky.social #ABACBS2025
