This is a great post doc opportunity- fantastic system, first-rate science, awesome PI
But what about the PI who wanted it yesterday?
There is a lot of inertia in the system because of the cohort effect: the older the director, the more likely it’s a man. The MPG has been hiring women but the positions tend to only become vacant when a director (typically a man) retires. Once in a director position, people tend to stay.
Suma to boot! Way to set the bar!
And I look up to you!! I’m looking forward to following your work!
Join @berasymbionts.bsky.social , @tatsuyanobori.bsky.social and us for a postdoc on the remarkable developmental biology of symbiosis!
Applications are due March 25th 🪲🦠

Great to see Liam @liamfitzstevens.bsky.social in this video!
If you want freedom to work on what you are curious about with secure funding until you retire, and you love rural areas near the sea, this is for you. 🧫🦠
Fantastic work by @maxplanckcampus.bsky.social colleague @luisapallares.bsky.social showing how environmental perturbation increases gene expression variability and thereby unmasks genetic regulation for transcriptional robustness in #Drosophila

Congrats Hadeer!!
How specific are heritable symbioses?
And what can we learn from swapping obligate symbionts across host species?
We address this in our latest, led by @inespons.bsky.social & in our collaboration w/ @microbiome.bsky.social 🦠🪲 Out today in @natcomms.nature.com!

Hearing you speak German with a Swiss accent is almost as good as the beautiful videos they showed and the nice report!
very grateful to these authors for their clear thinking. I’ve used “co-evolution” in the past without understanding what I was writing (there is hardly any evidence for this in the human gut microbiome)
From now on I will sit on papers by guys. Either that or change my name to Rudy.
It hasn’t changed at all!
Great to see a new Professor Ruth!
Excited to publish another PhD project within the IMPRS at the University of Tübingen:

They’re stealing from us. They are stealing from us and we have to put a stop to this. This cannot stand.
I don’t know that!!!
Yes it looks awesome! Some of us were coincidentally just going on about how the taxonomy keeps changing….this might save us!
That’s so logical- I am not sure microbiologists will be able to handle it
Wait, is this a new taxonomy??
🦠🧫 a collaboration with the Institute for Tropical Medicine in Tübingen and CERMEL in Gabon @cmfi.bsky.social
Happy to share this paper by doctoral student Mirabeau Mbong Ngwese who assessed gut microbiome associations with soil transmitted parasites for adults and kids in Gabon and corroborated findings with data from other studies from Africa www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I’m always saying “wait, is that in the gut? I’ve never heard of that!” And my lab members roll their eyes again. And in the meantime it was just B. vulgatus again.
Ok yes I knew this looked familiar! My grand mother used to be able to say the name of this place: we were always in awe. Whoever named it must have been dumped by a microbiologist.
Is that a Welsh species?
But who’s swooping in to save him?
You spend your life learning the natural history of the prokaryotes with all this complex taxonomy and then right when you are so proud of your well earned wisdom all the names change just in time for your brain to be too old to handle it
