Hier gestern auch! Zumindest ein Männchen - die Weibchen schlafen noch…
First released one year ago, Evo 2 predicts variant effects & generates functional DNA across all domains of life, from bacteria to humans, from a single set of weights, with no fine-tuning required.

Moos und Krokusse. So sieht mein „Lieblingsrasen“ aus. 😅
Be part of OMGN! Open to all researchers with an interest in oomycetes, from molecular genetics & genomics to biology, population biology, and ecology, at either an experimental or a computational level. Investigators new to the field are always welcome oomycetes.com
In my hands, the Genome Editing course does the cloning and 2x/year the Plant Biotech course transforms rice. We do dozens of edits practically for free. The real pain starts with T1. I am impressed though with the level of organization in Asia.
🌾 We have an open postdoc position in Plant Genomics in our group at HHU Düsseldorf!

Thank you, I know. It’s such a pity. Same with @annahamiltonart.bsky.social and @amyraehill.bsky.social . I guess I‘ll have to do a sabbatical in Oxford and travel the UK to collect them myself. Won’t want to do that with the US anymore, though.
So lovely! 🥰 🐈 Can you make a Valentine-exception and send it to Germany, please? The imperfections make this art even more „alive“.
We’re hiring!

Thank you so much for explaining your story in detail! This is the reason why I love reading bluesky on my way to the lab.
*sigh* I wish I could take that course! I am all in for a bioinformatics sabbatical…
I HATE it to send the presentation. Scientists are professional speakers and don’t need nannying. What if I want to add breaking news? Who is handling (and keeping, distributing,…) my talk? This is a shame.
Du solltest Spiele-Tester werden. Hat mich überzeugt und wir haben es jetzt auch. Total süß! Die Kleinste hat uns beim ersten Spiel zu viert dermaßen abgehängt… 😂🥳

Orange tomatoes! 🍅 🧡We have the purple one in the lab for teaching students plant biotechnology. Being in Europe, for my home I have to settle for the plushie… Although, the European Commission has just announced plans to change the law how GMOs should be rated for release. Maybe there is hope, yet…
December 20. Perfect time for roses from the garden, right?
Fantastic story how bacteria exploit a host pathway to dissolve plant tissue and obtain nutrients 🤯
Uncovering these mechanisms about plant-pathogen interactions is so cool!

Pleased to share this thoughtful essay by Jess on my flower design project🌹🧬
As a small thank-you for spreading the work, I'm randomly giving away 5 of these new morphogenesis hoodies to whoever reposts this!
Well…more often than not I do agree. Tough to say no.
