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.

Conservation of dark CPD photolyase function in blind cavefish - Nature Communications By investigating the paradoxical retention of a photolyase gene in a light-deprived blind cavefish, the authors reveal a novel light-independent function for CPD photolyase in the repair of oxidative ...

Blind cavefish still keep an ancient DNA repair trick — even in total darkness 🌑🐟 New Nature Communications study from Nick Foulkes & team @ IBCS, KIT: "Conservation of dark CPD photolyase function in blind cavefish"

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!!!

🐟 Karlsruhe Institut of Technology hosts since 2012 Europe’s only Zebrafish Resource Centre (EZRC). 30,000+ mutant lines, 2,000+ gene plasmids (Armant et al. 2013: 10.1016/j.ydbio.2013.05.006, Diotel et al. 2015: 10.1002/cne.23733), plus hands-on courses in 🇩🇪 & 🇬🇧! ! 🔬 www.ezrc.kit.edu #Zebrafish

Beautiful, enjoy 🫶

The world is truly insane!!! A war criminal is supporting a narcissistic politician who incited his supporters to attack the U.S. Congress—for the Nobel Prize. This is the most ridiculous joke ever.

This is what we are usually doing too. Often the rebuttal letter are so long that even we do not remember what was exactly done.

After 2 intense months and a 42-page rebuttal (!), we’ve resubmitted our revised MS: “Multiple cis-regulatory elements collaborate to control mdka expression in telencephalic neural stem cells of adult #zebrafish.......” Soon on
@biorxivpreprint.bsky.social — stay tuned!

Well done!!! Thank you!!!

The animation in the sky for the 200th anniversary of research in Karlsruhe and #KIT was performed using 200 drones.

#KIT 's 200th anniversary party!

Congratulations to Jacky and team !!!

Congratulations Joaquin, well deserved! We need some good news like this to take our minds off all the bad things happening in the world right now.

Very important ressource, thanks Jeff!!!

Il y a des millions de personnes sous les bombes dans toute la région !!!

The very first #German #Fish #meeting will take place in September 2026 in #Heidelberg! Stay tuned — more info will be published right here. But already now: mark your calendars! I’m sure it will be a fantastic meeting with the whole German Fish community — and more!!! 🐟 🐠

Thanks zebrafish Rock!

Forgot to mention: The #German #fish #meeting will be held in the beautiful city of #Heidelberg. We've gathered a list of 64 German fish labs, but if you've started your lab recently, please get in touch to join our mailing list! #zebrafish #medaka #Danionella #cavefish

Currently 66 labs!!!!! Not bad, not bad!!!!

No everyone, especially you, my dear. But we need to know how many labs could potentially participate.
