We have a job opening for postdoc with expertise in bioinformatics and a strong interest in regeneration. We work on (successful) spinal cord regeneration in the zebrafish. Get in touch if that’s something that would interest you! www.verw.tu-dresden.de/StellAus/ste...

The NCBI annotation pipeline for new genome assemblies is an amazing service to research communities! We've greatly benefited from annotation on the newest axolotl genome. No small feat!!

James @lab-turner.bsky.social will be at the EMBO Workshop on unconventional vertebrates! meetings.embo.org/event/25-ver...

This is the very last chance to join us in Edinburgh to learn new biology! Check the updated programme: meetings.embo.org/event/25-ver... Guaranteed you will leave inspired, full of ideas and very likely new collaborators! #EMBOvertrebateModels #EMBOevents πŸ§ͺ πŸ¦‡ 🐿️ 🦌 πŸ’ Please spread the word!

We would like to thank @biologists.bsky.social and @isrbio.bsky.social for support to ReBilD course. @intersted_applicants: Still few spots left, deadline is approaching soon. mdibl.org/course/rebil...

EDINBURGH AXOLOTLS! Super-excited to hear my wonderful colleague @aidarodrigo.bsky.social on BBC Radio 4 talking about the axototl colony she has established in our institute @edinuni-irr.bsky.social πŸ˜ƒ Available on BBC sounds: Aida's section starts at 23.37 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

🚨ISRB Webinar Alert - Zone 3: The Americas 🚨 Join us on May 16th at 12pm US East Coast Time. Featuring Dr. Sarah McMenamin from @bostoncollege.bsky.social and Dr. Erica Crespi from @wsupress.bsky.social. Find all details at isrbio.org/event-6181293

🚨 Last week to register! 🚨 Do not miss this unique opportunity to get inspired by unconventional biology!

Very excited for this meeting. We'll revisit fundamental concepts in #DevBio and ask how they might be informed by emerging #SynBio tools. We'll also discuss ideas around purpose and agency in synthetic morphogenesis, and generally have a VERY NICE TIME. Spaces available for short talks!

My lab @kinshiplab.bsky.social is recruiting a postdoc 🚨 with Sept start date Preference for in-vivo ephys / circuits experience / interest in applying quantitative methods to natural social behaviour. Funding & visa fees for 1-yr with possible extension. Send me your CV & visit kinshiplab.org

πŸ“’ Abstract submission deadline EXTENDED to April 25 πŸ“’ Last chance to get a short talk or poster slot at the EMBO Workshop on unconventional vertebrates! Anyone interested in learning more about these fascinating creatures: registrations open until May 8. Please repost and tell your colleagues! πŸ¦‡

Interested in biological research beyond the standard? Join us in Edinburgh for the EMBO Workshop exploring how unconventional vertebrate models are becoming engines for biomedical research! πŸ¦‡ 🐿️ 🦌 πŸ’ 🦍 πŸΉπŸ§β€β™€οΈ 🚨 Abstract submission deadline: 11 April 2025 🚨 meetings.embo.org/event/25-ver...

It has been known for a long time that if the starting point of limb regeneration is at the hand level or close to the shoulder, it would take about the same time to regenerate. Puzzling right? Check out this preprint from our lab to know more about it: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Abstract submitted πŸ‘ submit yours too! (abstract deadline tomorrow 11th April; general registration deadline 8th May) see you at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh- let's talk science alongside Dolly the Sheep πŸ‘

🚨 Just a few days to submit your abstracts! 🚨 Don't miss this opportunity to present your work to a growing and supportive community, and learn cool biology from unconventional vertebrates! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ @embo.org @biologists.bsky.social @the-node.bsky.social @isrbio.bsky.social

🚨 Heads-up: a little over a week to apply for this exciting postdoc opportunity in Edinburgh @edinuni-irr.bsky.social! 🚨 I will be in Liverpool for #biologists100. Happy to chat about the position, our research, setting up a lab, spiny mice, axolotls, and whatnot!

🚨 Registration for the EMBO Workshop on unconventional vertebrate models (June 9-13, Edinburgh) is now OPEN. You will get to listen to Angela's latest research and so much more! πŸ¦‡ 🐿️ 🦌 πŸ’ 🦍 πŸΉπŸ§β€β™€οΈ Small registration fee for PhD students/postdocs, with travel and childcare grants available!

πŸ“’ We are hiring! πŸ“’ We are looking for a postdoc to help us work out why mice cannot regenerate the spinal cord but spiny mice *can*. More info and how to apply: tinyurl.com/4m6yzbef Get in touch if interested!

Reminder of an exciting conference 'Hidden Cell, Dark Genome', Edinburgh 3-4th April 2025! Sessions: β€’ Regulatory functions of the dark genome β€’ Uncharted proteins and RNA complexity β€’ Cellular diversity β€’ Atomic structures at the cellular scale Early bird and registration deadline: 28th February!

One week to go before application deadlines... 1. Postdoc, investigating how neurons respond to demyelination. 2. Research assistant, investigating how conduction properties are established in neural circuits elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid... elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

This is the sound of a 15yo being amazed. It is not easy to amaze a 15yo. Her first attempt at using her foldscope.com, a small flat cardboard microscope that fits in her back pocket. I'm amazed too. Big thanks to @prakashlab.bsky.social for inventing this wonderful thing 😍 #ThriftyScience

Excited to share this mini-review on dynamic mechanical stress inference of tissues written with @borgesaugust.bsky.social!! doi.org/10.1042/BST2... (1/8)
