It’s completely wrong to claim the Iranian people have only two choices: a far-right pro-U.S. regime or an Islamic dictatorship. That’s a false narrative.
The people of Iran have the right to choose their own future freely and independently — without foreign powers dictating their options. Free Iran

I am free when everyone is free
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!
Important meeting to come!!!!
Yes internet is back but only with VPN.
Well done, congratulations!!!
🐟📢 It’s happening! Registration is OPEN for the 1st German Fish Model Research Meeting
📅 16–18 Sept 2026 | Heidelberg

Honored that our review on adult forebrain #regeneration in #zebrafish and mouse, highlighting the pro-regenerative role of the immune system (Chen J. et al., 2024, doi.org/10.1111/febs.17231), was highlighted again by the #FEBSJournal Journal Editorial Board (doi.org/10.1111/febs.70355).
Join us Sept 16–18, 2026 at Heidelberg University #2026germanfishmeeting
Germany hosts a world-leading fish research community, yet never had a Fish Meeting. That changes now 🐟
We are organizing the 1st German Fish Meeting to connect the community, support early-career scientists,discuss challenges facing basic research #2026GermanFishMeeting

"All That’s Left of You" is among the movies you should absolutely watch to better understand what’s going on in the Middle East and stop believing everything mainstream media tells you.

Multiple cis-regulatory elements collaborate to control mdka expression in telencephalic neural stem cells of adult #zebrafish during constitutive and regenerative #neurogenesis
German Fish Meeting webpage coming soon with all fish models! Special postdoc session by @mads100tist.bsky.social + lunch meet-up with the 3 keynotes. We also hope to welcome participants from France, Switzerland, Austria and more Updates here or on @rastapopolus.bsky.social
On Saturday, on the highway between #Strasbourg and #Karlsruhe, the sky suddenly turned red.
Our study on mdka transcriptional regulation during zebrafish brain regeneration has been accepted in FEBS Journal and will be online soon! 🚀 A related review from our group on immunity & inflammation in zebrafish brain regeneration is also available in FEBS Journal: doi.org/10.1111/febs...

Congrats Christian!!!!
Need to establish #zebrafish
KO or KI lines? Get in touch with TEFOR.
Finally!!! I’m astonished how so many—especially the educated—stay silent while authoritarianism rises and our freedoms shrink.
Five more journalists killed in a #Gaza hospital today. The toll is now 200. And in our so-called democracy, silence.

Congratulations to you and your team
Dear Jacob, I believe that better days will come, because every tyranny and dictatorship eventually collapses, precisely because they are built on injustice and the oppression of some over others. Stay strong and safe Azizi!!!!.
I believe some Israeli scientists are beginning to react to what's happening in Gaza to avoid losing financial support from the European Commission.
What can we expect when the majority of Israelis still support Bibi and his criminal gang? Sadly, Israeli scientists are often not much different from the general population. It’s a harsh reality.
Important !!!! #DANIO-CODE data coordination is back online!!!
