Made it! The Barkley Marathon - Soběšín edition #TCTeAC

Just came back from what might actually be the most unusual, brilliant, and delightfully crazy scientific gathering on this planet: Woodstock of Biology 2 + Night Science. Read more 👇👇 #WoodstockBio2 #NightScience #TCTeAC #ScienceCanBeMagic #ReproDevoFish www.linkedin.com/posts/daniel...

We thought we were just studying mesoglea biogenesis…Turns out Nematostella has been hiding a sophisticated backup pressure valve! Work driven by the talented PhD student Soham Basu! @embl.org‬ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The german research foundation DFG will fund the new graduate school for "Biomolecular Condensates: from physics to biological function" here in Dresden This new graduate school is part of 18 new graduate schools funded by the DFG in germany!

LOST & FOUND #TCTeAC ... this was found at venues & at the campsite and brought to me. If you want any of these items back, DM or SMS or e-mail me. On July 1st I'll do what I want with whatever will be left.

Three days ago at Woodstock Bio in the woods of Soběšín, Czech Republic. Science in the sun. So much fun, so sorely missed. Thank you @odedrechavi.bsky.social @natanellae.bsky.social @itaiyanai.bsky.social and all the instigators, speakers and revellers.

The story of zero, al-Khwarizmi (algorithm) and al-jabra (algebra). The man who translated Aryabhatta and Brahmagupta and eventually popularized by Fibonacci in Pisa and then Leonardo da Vinci. @DalrympleWill @JLFLitfest

We want to thank everyone who attended this year's #Drosophila JEDI meeting at Château du Feÿ! Three days of amazing talks, great ideas and chat at the camp fire. We are looking forward to meeting everyone again at the next meeting!

When they said they rented a train to take us to the woods, they weren't fooling around! #TCTeAC

Hopefully I'm a better scientist than a sketch artist 🫣 The results of @helenajambor.bsky.social extravaganza activity 🤩

#TCTeAC ... got a special gift for Itai @itaiyanai.bsky.social when he shows up in Prague again on 23rd of June :-)

Let's not be #TCTeAC "The Conference To END All Conferences", but a new format of many more such events. Depating science outside of our typical nutshell (scientifically and mentally) has great potential - we could have come up with 50+ project proposals together. Let's bring fun back to science :)

Pretty big news, Gaudenz Danuser is joining Roche’s Institute of Human Biology (IHB). Sad to see a visionary like him leave our institute, he was the reason I joined UT Southwestern. It will be exciting to see what will come out at the IHB!

🇨🇦🚖🛬🇨🇿🚊☀️🧪🍻🚊🌙🧪⛺️💃🕺🎉🚣‍♂️🚌🛫🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️ Whoosh! Heading home with @agberistain.bsky.social after #TCTeAC Thank you for these inspiring, creative, fascinating days together! Please do come visit Vancouver any time, on even the tiniest, flimsiest of excuses - we love visitors! 🏔️🌊🌳🧬🧪

Burning poster festival #TCTeAC

#TCTeAC - the Woodstock of Biology2 & #nightscience - was such an amazing event!! We met great scientists who creatively presented their high quality work. We dreamt and discussed in a very broad, open-minded setting. Talking science outside of our nutshell can be soo valuable - let's do this again!

Happy day in the Bohemian Woods at #WoodstockBio #TCTeAC debating the question, "Does science take away the beauty of the world we experience?" Me: Of course not, look around you and admire the beauty of biology and evolution. @odedrechavi.bsky.social @helenajambor.bsky.social

The final stretch — couldn’t ask for a better way to end #TCTeAC 🙌 @pekarekl.bsky.social

Where can I buy the official CD? #TCTeAC

As I suspect many of us here have been, I've really enjoyed the (endless, visible-from-space) coverage of #TCTeAC this week. While I've had a lot of fun at meetings down the decades, nothing like this. #TCTeAC's instigators have really shown science how conferences can be hit out of the park. Kudos.

Everybody is just talking about the fun #TCTeAC but the high quality of science, across a diverse range of fields, was equally impressive. Thanks to the organizers, such a unique event.

Woodstock Night Science belongs to the ages now. Next time - and there must be a next time - we will make sure everyone gets off the waitlist! #TCTeAC

I successfully defended my PhD thesis this week! Thank you @brugueslab.bsky.social, @poldresden.bsky.social and @mpi-cbg.de for the great time over the last years!

Some bits from #TCTeAC #Barkley marathon. We had ~25 runners, 3 cyclists, 9 finished 2nd round, 6 did a #funrun and went on to become #Finishers. One got lost, two almost drowned 😉. The rest was tapped out by Phillip’s #trumpet. All cyclists did at least one run. #Kata ruled - 🏃‍♀️. Lazarus Lake says 🫡

Don’t ask #theconferencetoendallconferences #TCTeAC

Be careful #tcteac there are Seven sins of scientific publishing walking around! @sanaferosh.bsky.social @mehguy.bsky.social

It's hard to describe how amazing this conference has been, the final day had everything including a wedding, a boxing match and a great performance of Y.M.C.A. Thanks to all the organizers @woodstocknightsci.bsky.social, this has been a once-in-a-lifetime event! #TCTeAC

#TCTeAC ... The Woodstock of Biology2 & Night Science was terminated by police arrival. >The End< Nobody apparently dared to take a picture but it's true.

#TCTeAC ... and that was all, folks! Thank you, it was fantastic.

In my DJ-life, I had multiple parties shut down by the police, but a conference after party was a first 🤘. Thanks y’all, in particular partner in crime @odedrechavi.bsky.social for an epic party!! #TCTeAC

As a proud finisher and sufferer I want to thank the organizers for the opportunity! :) #TCTeAC
