I started Awesome Life Science Resources: a curated list of resources on work culture, career, and communication for life scientists. Built for PhD students, postdocs, and PIs.

⚠️ Paper alert: Using a novel CRISPR screening approach, we mapped the entire regulatory network controlling Xist—key for X-chromosome inactivation.
👉 We discover how sex and development signals are decoded at a single gene locus.

A group of journalists from Al Jazeera carry the shrouded body of their dead colleague on a stretcher.
They couldn’t silence their stories.
So they just killed them.
Israel never comes back from this.
Also just because we re lucky enough in Europe now, how can we take that policy for granted? Policies change, laws change, data stay
SNPs are not that informative (although they do associate with risk, and risk is what insurance companies care about I guess). But I disagree with the argument that just because we allow other data to be used by other companies, we shouldnt worry about DNA data. It's not all or nothing.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.
I'm really happy to see the work from my Master's thesis published! 🎉
Shoutout to everyone who helped make this happen — especially @albaperez.bsky.social for the amazing mentorship and Alfred for the opportunity to work on this cool project!

Congratulations!
While helping out on a cool genomics project recently, I came to realise I’d been taught a pretty big inaccuracy about the events that occur at fertilization. I suspect that almost everyone reading this has the same misapprehension, so let’s do some learning together: 1/

If you are based in Berlin, you can watch Ocean tomorrow (25.05) in Kant Kino www.yorck.de/filme/ozean-... 🐳
Amazing documentary, and a strong slap in the face. If you eat fish, make sure you know where it comes from.
It is sad that even basic research needs to be defended with utility. For me, basic research is in the same category as art: civilized societies can't do without it, because we all want to know who we are and what our place in the natural world is -- questions that only science can answer.
We stand up for science!
Just your friendly reminder that there are alternatives to Mapping apps owned by big companies...
One of them is called OpenStreetMap -- it is crowdsourced and the data is open and non-commercial. Via the API, there are downloadable app versions for your phone.

If you tweet about IWD I'll retweet your gender pay gap
With International Women's Day coming up before too long, any chance someone is building a gender pay gap bot for Bluesky like the one that used to exist on that other app? 😁 www.bbc.com/news/uk-engl...
Congratulations!! Wishing you all the best for this journey! 🍀
