We have an exceptional opportunity at our center for a new group leader at VIB in Leuven. We are looking for a new colleague who wants to use computational methods to investigate molecular and/or cellular aspects of neurobiology. This position not only comes with substantial and renewable core funding and start-up package, but it is also linked to a tenure track position at KU Leuven.
More information on our center can be found on our website https://cbd.sites.vib.be/en.
@JeffMold If you toot it, they will come.
"In value-based pricing, drugs that are associated with greater improvements to the same end point or more improved objective end points (ie, PFS rather than ORR, OS rather than PFS) would be expected to cost more. The results of this analysis suggest the opposite: oncology drugs approved based on OS improvement had the lowest median annual cost of the 3 end points."

"The fundamentals of this system do not change. The drug world meshes with the government in a joint operation that shares money and power. The government hosts those traditional elites who have had their boot heels on the necks of the poor since long before the market for heroin, cocaine, and marijuana inflated the national economy in Mexico. The drug capos rise from the underclass, briefly flourish, then vanish into prisons or graves."

I think the time has come for an #introduction
I'm a biochemist turned reproductive biologist studying #spermatogenesis,
#generegulation , and #epigenetics (particularly #DNAmethylation ) in male #infertility and during (reproductive) #ageing
I work at the Centre of Reproductive Medicine and Andrology (aka CeRA) in the University of Münster, Germany.

Okay, here it is, the #Cilia group:
@cilia
My first attempt didn't work, most likely because of the "&" within the former group-name.
The way I understand this: everyone can now follow this group. If the group is mentioned in a post " @cilia ", this is shared with everyone in the group.
Deeply sorry that the name is now only "cilia" - it is meant for maximum inclusion!!!
It should include everyone:
#raredisease #ciliopathies #centrosome #centriole #devbiol
Please join!!! 🙂🙂🙂
A bunch of colleagues from low-middle income country here looking for a collaboration to enable us sequencing a chromosome-level assembly of the world's largest bee from Wallacea.
Anyone can help?

My group is recruiting Flatiron Research Fellows!
Our interests include: theory development + data analysis with neural manifolds, and theory of neural networks.
Neuro interactions with Flatiron CCN, NYU Center for Neural Science, Machine Learning interactions with NYU Center for Data Science.
@giorgiogilestro I had a neurons-neutron permutation going for a while that had much deeper epistemological implications.

Ok, an #introduction. I'm a #MultipleSclerosis researcher and IT person at UCL focussed on #MRI image analysis. Write a lot of #python and #rstats. As much #OpenScience as I'm allowed.
Away from work I make music with computers, analog synths and guitars. Also spend as much time as possible in a #kayak, on a bike or otherwise outdoors.
Hi! I’m an Assistant Professor at OU. My lab studies bacterial physiology in chronic infection, particularly Staphylococcus aureus #MRSA in #CF and #ChronicWounds. We leverage omics approaches and classic #microbiology techniques to ask foundational questions about how #microbe microbe interactions and the #infection environment impact this physiology. In addition, I am a mom #academicmom of two. Excited to check out this community!
I recommend this article "DEI conversations: more than a box-ticking exercise" by @@felicitydavis2@twitter.com
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41580-022-00565-9
I hope we can take her message to heart of *not* being incremental in our DEI work, just as we don't want to be incremental in our research. It reminded me of this post from @mekkaokereke https://fediscience.org/@mekkaokereke@mastodon.cloud/109359450386255369
about finding the write framing for change that fits an organization's culture -- this seemed like a convincing framework for researchers!
Okay, here's my Mastodon #introduction --
* Spent 10 years as an environmental policy reporter in DC.
* Last 14 years as a science writer for a university. Wrote a book on #scicomm for research institutions: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/H/bo18768107.html
* Freelance writer and editor on everything from health to tech to food.
* I periodically write about random stuff on Medium. Such as this: https://medium.com/@shiplives/how-hank-williams-and-robert-johnson-tricked-me-into-thinking-trains-are-from-the-south-e35f21e443f3
