cookie jar as they learned just how unlikely some events and how unique they really are. Following our Q.UNI lecture at Münster University in April, we were delighted to bring this interactive experience directly to a primary school 🎉🔬🧬(3/3)

A lack of sex slowed the pace of evolution to a crawl for millions of years, until competition and the development of sexual reproduction got evolution going again. New research from @camzoology.bsky.social 👇 https://bit.ly/3SAKQVO

How do sperm and egg fuse? Surprisingly, we still don’t fully know… Our field has uncovered many pieces of the fertilization puzzle, but not how they fit together. We identify ✨ SPARK ✨ - a conserved sperm complex that couples sperm-egg binding to fusion. tinyurl.com/34cm4xat Read on! 🧵👇

TL;DR: We've identified more than 100 cases of apparent manipulation in Thermo Fisher Scientific's antibody verification data. @sholtodavid.bsky.social @johanduchene.bsky.social reeserichardson.blog/2026/05/28/h...

How much of Thermo Fisher’s antibody data has been manipulated?

We’ve documented more than 100 instances of apparent data manipulation in Thermo’s catalog

🧬🧬New Scientific Chapter🧬🧬 Just started my postdoc at CeRA in Münster, Germany 🇩🇪 @uni-muenster.de Looking forward to expanding my technical toolkit, sharpening scientific thinking, and working with amazing colleagues 🔬🧫🧬

🎉New paper (co-author) in Reproduction 🎉 We characterize human QRICH2, a sperm-specific, conserved protein essential for normal sperm structure and function, with potential as a non-hormonal male contraceptive target. Check the full article 👉 doi.org/10.1093/repr... #MaleContraception #ReproBio

What does jewellery made by bacteria look like? Every year, students from the MA Biodesign course at Central Saint Martins, @researchual.bsky.social collaborate with the Making Lab and other teams from the Crick to explore the intersection between art and science. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFPB...

✨I successfully defended my PhD and I am now officially a Doctor in Sciences! My thesis explored the sperm protein CRISP2. A long journey full of experiments, late nights, and exciting discoveries! Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way 💜 Onward to new scientific adventures 🚀🔬

New paper (coauthor) in Environmental Pollution 🐝. Adult exposure of Bombus terrestris males to field-realistic Cu/Cd does not impair sperm traits or mating success, but copper markedly increases mortality. 🔗 authors.elsevier.com/c/1lmMe_68YM... #bees #pollinators #ecotoxicology

What an amazing experience at ETW25! ✨ Proud to present my work on the hCRISP2 interactome and grateful for the inspiring talks and brilliant scientists I met. Excited for future collaborations! #ETW25 #Andronet #ReproductiveBiology

Excited to share my first first-author publication! We mapped human CRISP2 during spermatogenesis and revealed its molecular organization in sperm. Read here: doi.org/10.1093/biol... #BiolReprod #ReproductiveBiology #Andrology #MaleFertility #Spermatogenesis #CRISP2 #SpermBiology
