The big reversal in Germany’s election Extreme right (AfD) gained every where but particularly in the poorest regions. Social Democrats (SPD) lost everywhere but particularly in the poorest region.

Astounded at the blaśe attitude in the German political commentariat. A result being "expected" doesn't mean it is not alarming. AfD did very well across the electorate. In the east/west, old/young, male/female. It poached ∼ 1 million voters from CDU & over half a million from SPD (center left!)

A disastrous result in the gloomy German elections. Biggest winner is the far-right AfD. With 1 in 4 voters basically voting for a neo-nazi party. Unfortunately a "grand coalition" is likely to give more of the same. Next election AfD will surge even more. Abysmal and depressing outlook.

Bitte am Sonntag wählen gehen! Noch nie war eine Wahl so wichtig für Deutschlands Zukunft. #Btw2025

Love it.

Crazy to see how everyone is falling in line with the change of tune. Spineless hypocrites.

I am recruiting an #ERC funded PostDoc to work on the evolution of vertebral counts in cichlids. This is an experimental project & will be looking for candidates with experience generating reporter lines, live-imaging and experimental embryology. Application deadline: 25th Feb. tinyurl.com/33jbu8fa

So proud of my Brother ! Sold out show yesterday in Berlin. Great performance. Catch them in Paris today and London tomorrow. #tul8e #cocktailtour

Final poster for the second edition of the #EvoDevoTempo meeting is finally ready! Great lineup and 3x more social activities: meetings.embo.org/event/25-dev... @bassemh.bsky.social @mdiazcuadros.bsky.social @vanderhaeghenp2.bsky.social

My new book 'Evolution Evolving. The Developmental Origins of Adaptation and Biodiversity', written with Tobias Uller, Nathalie Feiner, Marc Feldman & Scott Gilbert, is published by @princetonupress.bsky.social For more information see www.evolutionevolving.org #science #evodevo #plasticity

If you are interested in all things stem cells and development, then this is the conference for you 🤩 We have put together an exciting and diverse list of speakers - and you can be a part of it too! 😉 Loking forward hearing from young scientists - for oral presentations register by tomorrow! 🤓 👻

Excellent

Let's keep it going ! #preprints #openscience

#EvoDevoTempo Can't wait for 2025 !

umm maybe it would be better if you focus on: the inexorable rise of far right neo-fascists across the continent the imminent dangers of AI and the cost of living crisis ? hubris.

“In the end, science doesn’t move one paper at a time; it moves one inspired person at a time. That’s really our currency as scientists—and it’s our duty to pass that inspiration along to the public. We need to make science a much more human endeavor, because one inspired person…

Love the Prakash lab so much ! super cool 😎

👏👏👏

Very much looking forward to this !

Excited to share our work from the Aulehla & @ewanbirney.bsky.social labs where we delve into the basis of the scaling relationship between developmental timing and size using medaka inter-species hybrids, quantitative phenotyping, F2 crosses & devQTL mapping www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Super low still...

Heartbreaking book. I can definitely recommend. Gaith writes beautifully.

I’ve been posting about a secret meeting in Germany recently which made international news and is causing quite the ruckus in German society. The original journalists, who have infiltrated & uncovered the meeting, have now posted an English translation of their report: correctiv.org/en/top-stori...
