Congratulations Koichi Sato and @puckknipscheer.bsky.social for a biochemistry tour de force! Sooo many in vitro experiments, pinning down step by step a mechanism to resolve G4 structures. We used KOs and quantitative G4 CUT&Tag to corroborate mechanism in mouse ESC.

Fantastic collaboration with @puckknipscheer.bsky.social 👏! Congrats to all!

i was hoping Bsky would understand *markdown* 🙄

PhD or Postdoc interested working on your own or collaborative project at @uni-freiburg.de? Apply to [Freiburg Rising Star Academy](uni-freiburg.de/frsa/). [Info Session](forms.office.com/e/G9LSAsFuWU) on June 23. Get in touch if you'd like to join us at [CIBSS](uni-freiburg.de/frsa/applica...)

Finally found it! researchagora.com, very interesting development, will try it out

I found DeCci Labs desci.com, looks interesting, but exactly what I am remembering

❤️

also anyone with an apt/house for rent in #freiburg, 4+ rooms, preferably Herdern, Güterbahnhof, Wiehre, ANY time, ANY price, SEND IT MY WAY

Incredibly grateful for this tremendous recognition by @humboldt-foundation.de and not possible without the strongest support from @uni-freiburg.de and many previous funding bodies that made our research possible

This is a joint achievement by everyone who contributed to the elsaesserlab.wordpress.com over the past 10 years and I am so looking forward to our big 10-year reunion next week ❤️

📣 I will take up a Professorship at @uni-freiburg.de, Faculty of Biology. With amazing funding news coming in, we'll be in a position to establish a major research program around Epigenetics, Signaling and Synthetic Biology at the Signalhaus @cibss.bsky.social. More news and job ads to come soon!

Do you have to cut the top to get flowers? Or is it just the right climate? Stockholm = no flowers

Do you sometimes feel research is 🎶 on step forward and two steps back 🎶? Well the good thing about a marathon is that no matter how slow you go, you are always getting closer to the finish line 😅. #stockholmmarathon ✌️

We are looking for MSc students interested in joining us for a bioinformatics thesis project. The task is to analyze existing epigenomics datasets, explore data from different technical and biological angles, generate reproducible code and figures to be incorporated into manuscripts #jobalert

a bit like www.micropublication.org but much more advanced features and slick design! If only I had asked for her number 💔#openscience

hoping for swarm intelligence: came across a new publishing platform that allowed to publish small experiment units or attach new experiments to existing publications (e.g. 'this result confirms figure 3A in paper X'), together community peer review. Problem: I can't find the website anymore. HELP!

Climate-change deniers use Grok AI to write a climate-change denier article, and published that in a climate-change denial journal.
They even had to 'steer' Grok a couple of times, because its text was not climate-change denier enough.

Beautiful work!!

as well as thanks to @cp-iscience.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social

...but please do read the latest version, with deepened mass spec support and additional analyses. And a final thanks for being in for the long haul Dörte, Lorenzo, Carmen, @plantproteomics-ms.bsky.social @thomasmartinez.bsky.social, @luzeenaraja.bsky.social co-authors!

It feels a little bit postclimactic to post this now, after the first version of our paper hit bioRxiv when X was still a thing that people used, the revised version was formally accepted at Cell Community past November. But here is the final print version of our paper

🧪what with the demolition of #NIH funded #research, where, dare I ask, are our friends from #bigpharma? y'all good? mooched enough off of public-access NIH-funded research? Stocked up with PhD level scientists who were trained on NIH training grants to tide you over until Academia comes back?

Blueprints of Life: Cell fate choices and lineages Dive into the fascinating world of cell fate decisions that underlie the variety of cell types in our bodies. Join top researchers in the field to uncover the blueprints of life!

Revisions of ‘hateful conduct’: what users can now say on Meta platforms Meta has rewritten policies to allow different things to pass on Facebook, Instagram and Threads

The @theguardian.com has made just a short list of the kind of insults you can now post on Facebook. It’s ugly 🤮. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Precisely 🙌
