Starry Glaswegian sky in 2025 🤩

Il cielo di Grado.

For the dev bio crowd : there is a call for junior group leader at Institut Pasteur in Paris and one of the axis covered is related to development. Come and join us in this exciting place and become one of our colleague @devstempasteur.bsky.social Please RT !! research.pasteur.fr/fr/call/call...

Another dramatic Scottish sky. 😍

The Dept. of Biological Sciences at Columbia is searching for an #AssistantProfessor in the area of #biochemistry — submit a one-page anonymized statement of research w/app. Apply here: : apply.interfolio.com/160181

The latest RNA-Puzzles paper is out (CASP for RNA structure prediction). Check how wild some of the best predictions are for these small RNAs. We're still a long way from a reliable AlphaFold for RNA. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This was published a little while ago in @naturechemistry.bsky.social, but has just popped up in my issue e-alert. This is a delightful correspondence about fonts and chemistry; very much appealing to my inner chemistry nerd 🤣 #Chemsky

PhD Alert! We have a fully funded (UK residents only, I'm afraid 😟) #NeuroSkyence PhD to move towards developing an at-home EEG system to monitor sleep oscillations for brain health monitoring and early dementia diagnosis. Please share with your network! www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvl...

Really enjoyed today’s external seminar on time-resolved crystallography!

#PhD Advert: Please share! Are you looking for a PhD studentship in comparative- or population-genomics, using 300+ species of #Drosophila and 1000+ genomes of #melanogaster? #Entomology #Genomics #PopGen #Phylogenetics

I am looking for 2 postdoctoral researchers to join my lab to work on the role of HIV-1 accessory proteins in the pathogenesis of HIV/AIDS and viral latency. Please contact me informally or ‘re-sky’ to anyone you think may be interested. Closing Dec 10th www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DKV639/p...

An absolutely incredible opportunity to work with a fantastic new PI. From personal experience of having worked with Ferdos 10/10 highly recommend!

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

Big announcement 📢🚨 Together with the 3DBioinfo @ELIXIREurope community we are organising a joint conference in Barcelona March 19-21, 2025! If you work in Structural Bioinformatics or Computational Biophysics communities register ASAP! Only 120 spots! www.iscb.org/3dbioinfo202...
