Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Tread -1- EpiSci - I am very proud to share with you our new study that you can access on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social (see link below)
"The Interaction with Nanotopographical Environment regulates nuclear mechanoresponse in mESCs via Histone Demethylase KDM3A.

and application deadline is March 15. The group would be located at the beautiful #BioQuant center right in the middle of Neuenheimer Feld.

Monday: new Postdoc arrives at the lab

Friday: first own experiment, DNA nanostar condensates clearly visible, even in in vitro transcription buffer

Welcome on board, Dr. Marcel Piepers! Stay tuned!

PS Marcel is co-supervised w Ralf Reussner, tasked w ground work for www.sfb1608.kit.edu @kit.edu

30 million is like 1 building at KIT. When I drive in, I pass 3 construction sites alone…so, yes, not perfect here, either, but currently, there’s money

And it says "October 2025" on the cover, while it is published online January 2026. Not sure what it all means, but happy nevertheless!

Aaron Gadzekpo prepared the simulations for this design. He gave me printouts, which I then used to make a sketch with markers on an overlaid paper. I tried like 5 different scanners to get a decent image, finally used our institute multi-purpose printer. Hope you like the final appearance :-)

Apparently, we made the (additional) cover of the January issue of Annals of the NY Academy of Sciences with our artistic representation of surface condensates on a chromatin strand. I hope you appreciate the subtle use of a modified Hilbert curve?

Full Professor and Chair Laboratory of Biophysics We are looking for a Full Professor in the Biophysics chair group, part of Wageningen University & Research (WUR)

www.wur.nl/en/vacancy/f...

Become our new colleague (and next door neighbor) and lead a chair/group/department of Biophysics at Wageningen University. Reach out to me for info and please spread!!!

I am recruiting postdoctoral fellows to develop new research directions in the lab. We study transcriptional regulation through biomolecular condensates in development and disease, with an emphasis on first-principles and mechanistic discovery. Please repost or share with colleagues.

All key information about the German Fish Meeting at COS, Heidelberg (16–18 September 2026) is summarized in this flyer. Please feel free to share it with colleagues and researchers working with any fish model. Thank you!

Progressing well with this year’s Master course Methods of Developmental Genetics, got the first immunostained zebrafish animal caps on the microscope today, nuclear pores looking great, participants in good spirits ✌️

Greetings to all fish labs 🎏

Journals explaining why it takes 9 months to send back reviews

Just make sure it’s a big publisher with transfer option?

Here my text to go along

This is your hand
This is your leg
This is your foot

Just let it fall
To the floor

First three: one drop into the kiwi
Last one: tweezers upright in the floor

Nailed it

Thank you 😊 Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts on it

They actually put the handles :-)

A. Ma. Zing.

I didn’t spot this at all! Glad I bothered to put them in at proof stage

Oh, we don't have the handles, right_ I supplied them during proofing, but not sure they made it in...

There is a special Current Opinion in Genetics & Development issue about genome architecture and expression and it looks great including reviews by @lennarthilbert.bsky.social @yghavi.bsky.social and @wbickmor.bsky.social

Thank you, too :-)

These answers are precise, and leave my internal image of the underlying process intact, phew 😮‍💨

Only minor surprise (maybe you have a good reason), why alpha-amanitin and not actonomycin D? It’s more selective in its “jamming” effect, minus degradation effects of a-amanitin.
