Animal rights interest me just as strongly as living in a country where no one is above the law, and which is perceived as civilized internationally.
Do you agree?

Dear @donald-tusk.bsky.social, as a human being, a biologist, and someone who came to Krakow from Great Britain just three years ago, I just cannot. I am calling for your immediate PERSONAL intervention and investigation into animal abuse:

Also huge thanks to our collaborator at the @liverpooluni.bsky.social, Prof. Roy Goodacre, for joining us on this adventure!
Thrilled to announce our new "Nutri-Wolbachia" project! π¬ We're exploring how insect diet & metabolism influence Wolbachia's power against viruses. Huge thanks to the National Science CentreΒ for funding & to the reviewers who helped! #Wolbachia #Science #VirusControl #NCN @ioes-ju.bsky.social
Any #Drosophila folk have a Zaprionus davidi stock they'd be able to send myself and @ewachrostek.bsky.social ? Please share - thanks!
Dear all, registration for the upcoming EMBO/EMBL Symposium on "the cellular mechanics of symbiosis" is now OPEN π€© ! Feel free to register ! www.embl.org/about/info/c...

Polish shelters are overfilled with dogs and cats! Many well-behaved, house-trained, hundreds (if not thousands) of kittens and puppies π I am trying to figure out what to do, as I just cannot accept it!
Thanks to @erc.europa.eu and @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social for Funding and @ioes-ju.bsky.social for hosting us!
The very first paper from my lab in Krakow is now available here: DOI: 10.3791/68207 Yes, it is a protocol, BUT it is also a GREAT protocol! Congrats to the first author @navinafrancis.bsky.social! Stay tuned, an update on the clones is coming soon!
What a fantastic opportunity for budding Drosophila biologists! And who couldnβt use some extra mentoring and counseling (and whiskey) nowadays!
Research group open days at Institute of Environmental Sciences, JU (Cracow, Poland). If you are around 30th May, come and see what we're up to :)
Come and see what we do!
@greghurst.bsky.social , look what happened :)
Our New Paper is out! Great work by Mashaneh Ahrar and the team - thank you all, especially @makaefer.bsky.social and Greg Hurst (is he on Bsky???)! TBC :)
Come join us at beautiful UBC! The King Lab is recruiting a Post-doc Fellow to develop mathematical theory on infectious disease evolution and emergence, together with Ben Ashby (SFU) #zoonoses #biodiversity www.zoology.ubc.ca/kinglab/join...
Just doggies today because I love my furballs π₯°
@navinafrancis.bsky.social and Dominika WΕoch-Salamon are teaching it as well :)
New Course available for interested Jagiellonian University Students! If you are curious about our lab mosquitoes π¦, pathogensπͺ±(in tropics or here - in Europe), and you are not afraid to learn and test some molecularπ§ͺπ¬Β and computational methodsπͺ- join us for Vector Borne Course! @ioes-ju.bsky.social
If you are in Brussels next week, join me, RafaΕ Kucharski, Krzysztof Fic, and Leszek Kaczmarek for the panel discussion on the Research and Innovation Priorities of the Polish EU Presidency! erc.europa.eu/news-events/...
Last week we had some amazing outreach happening here at the @ioes-ju.bsky.social! Thanks to the team preparing it, and Jagiellonian University for supporting the initiative!

Thanks @ioes-ju.bsky.social ES for highlighting my Interview for Forum Akademickie!
In just few days my amazing PhD student Navina Francis will lead a workshop on "Climate, critters and superheroes" here at the Institute of Environmental Sciences in Cracow, Poland. I can promise it will be fun, so come over if you can: www.nocbiologow.pl/index.php?id...
Happy to be in Prague (or close enough ;) for the correlative light and electron microscopy of #Wolbachia! Thank you @eurobioimaging.bsky.social for the grant, and all the Team here for the warm reception!
Sure :) We use Drosophila melanogaster - Wolbachia - viruses (DCV, FHV) to discover the basic mechanisms governing antiviral protection and virus-induced pathology. I think disovery of Toll involvement in immunity in Drosophila (Lemaitre et al. Cell 1996) makes me think I shuld be here.
I would love to join!
Drosophila person here. I would love to be added!
