Congratulations to @vdeneke.bsky.social & Andreas Blaha @impvienna.bsky.social for their research on vertebrate fertilization, which was awarded this year's ร–GMBT Life Science Research Award in Austria for basic research!

I have the best lab ever! Today I thought we "just" celebrate the acceptance of @isabellavoelkl.bsky.social paper (more to come in due time...). But my lab surprised me with a 10 year birthday party! And an amazing video from former lab members!

Oh, look! What a special treat! One whole day without meetings! Not a single one in sight. i might even get around to get something done today.

I would love to hear ideas. We preprint everything, chose many preprints to discuss in our journal club, but ultimately are bound by funders to demonstrate productivity that often involves the full peer review journal model.

Just one more week left to get an application in! Starting my lab at the Perutz and the @viennabiocenter.bsky.social has been a fantastic opportunity that shaped me as a scientist!

Im Austria, the main funding body does not have deadlines for its regular project grants for longer than I run my lab. I am quite torn on it since having a deadline also gives you an end point and date to work towards.

An ancient and essential miRNA family controls cellular interaction pathways in C. elegans A microRNA that arose at the origin of eumetazoans regulates cell adhesion and signaling in C. elegans through conserved targets.

Our work on the function of miR-51/miR-100 is out! miR-100 is widely conserved across eumetazoans but its function has been mysterious. Emilio Santillรกn found in worms it regulates signaling and extracellular matrix genes, some of which seem to be conserved targets! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Sometimes I write things I have just done on my to-do list to make myself feel better by crossing them off right away. Works every time.
