For researchers studying human diseases and health via #epigenetics, the Epigenetics Research Grant from Illumina might be of interest. Deadline: Aug 24, 2025. Eligible: genomic scientists at academic, nonprofit, or for-profit institutions. #ResearchGrant

Excellent read!

We are hiring! Great opportunity for a RA with bioinformatic skills We are looking for talented researcher to work on a project to detect gene fusions and driver mutations in a large cohort of children with ALL treated across multiple different trials to determine their clinical relevance.

#FlyCROSS is a mentor-mentee matching program for the fly community. They're looking for mentors from all career paths (academia, industry, policy etc.) who have experience with #Drosophila research and are eager to support the next generation of fly scientists. Apply to become a mentor by 14 July:

These Curie courses are great. Highly recommend!

I am going to be at WATOC in Oslo this coming Monday through to Wednesday and would love to chat with any attendees about experiences publishing (be that in Chemical Science, RSC journals, or otherwise!). Feel free to send me a message here or come by the RSC booth! #WATOC #CompChemSky #ChemSky
