Great opportunity for postdocs to present their work to the German fish community and showcase their current research, future plans, and projects. This is very important for your career development.
MadScientist@mads100tist.bsky.social · 3mo agoI'm very happy to announce that the "From Postdoc to PI Session" will be sponsored by the @biologists.bsky.social and we will be offering a $$ Prize to the best talk, so now a twofer reason to apply! www.germanfishmeeting.org/from-postoc-... Let me know if you have any question/s! 🐟
It’s completely wrong to claim the Iranian people have only two choices: a far-right pro-U.S. regime or an Islamic dictatorship. That’s a false narrative. The people of Iran have the right to choose their own future freely and independently — without foreign powers dictating their options. Free Iran

Five more journalists killed in a #Gaza hospital today. The toll is now 200. And in our so-called democracy, silence.
Dear Jacob, I believe that better days will come, because every tyranny and dictatorship eventually collapses, precisely because they are built on injustice and the oppression of some over others. Stay strong and safe Azizi!!!!.
