Here is a job offer just before Xmas :) 4 year Postdoc position funded by @ERC_Research. We invite applications from stem cell/ Dev. Biologists interested in studying how ribosomes act as a decision hub controlling cell fate using hiPSC-based differentiation and organoid models

The Devil’s Tree at La Vigne #bugey #france. Nearby, Hidden under the snow is the last vigneron’s wine cauldron. In his sixties, Monsieur LeFleur drowned in his own wine after too much tasting. True story. Abandoned #vineyard. The tree has a sheep skull atop.

Here is my #Introduction, with hashtags. I’m an #author and essayist, part of, and hopeful about, the #TwitterMigration.

I write about #science and #technology and their cultural effects. My books include #Chaos, The #Information, and #TimeTravel, as well as biographies of Richard #Feynman and Isaac #Newton.

Review Commons proposes an alternate way:

1. Submit to their website
2. Peer-reviews are solicited
3. Refereed preprint + reviews + response are published
4. Paper is submitted to participating journals (currently 17 biology-related journals)

The process is explained in detail here: https://www.reviewcommons.org/authors/

A lot of white Americans don't value bail reform, because they can't conceive of themselves being charged with a crime they didn't do, when there is literally zero evidence. That seems like a vanishingly rare occurrence.

A lot of Black Americans do support bail reform, because they know that being falsely accused of a crime is a very real possibility for them. Happens a lot.

Both groups of people are correct in their risk assessment. 🙂🙃

The Upjohn Institute has joined with the Russell Sage Foundation Dissertation Research Grants program to fund dissertation research on employment issues, especially policy-relevant research pertaining to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities.

There's a map going around that shows counts of venomous species by country. In addition to being interesting to look at, it highlights the problems that arise when you use political boundaries for geospatial data. Country size and range obscures biogeographical pattern. We see this with Russia, but the silliest example is the coloration of Alaska.

Just something worth keeping in mind when thinking about geographic data.

We're looking for postdocs! https://embl.org/jobs/position/HD02332

EMBL will soon embark on TREC, an expedition along Europe's coastlines https://embl.org/about/info/trec/ Groups across EMBL will collect samples of soil, sediment, water, and selected model organisms in various habitats. Join us to investigate microbial biogeography and diversity, integrate multi-omics data for functional interpretations, and to quantify the exchange of genes and molecular functions across sites and habitats. Apply until Feb 1st!

A stunningly beautiful spider, Cyclosa conica. I'm finding lots of these in the nearby woods at the moment. #spider #arachnid

Hi everyone, yesterday I finally set up the "EvoDevo Papers" #bot here on Mastodon:

@evodevo_papers

It posts the latest papers in the field of evolutionary developmental biology from various sources.

Follow to keep track of the literature and discover new works!

Boost to help spread #EvoDevo #Papers around the Fediverse.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Hello, world! We are moving over from Twitter this week. This is a shared lab account for all members of our B cell immunology and preclinical vaccine research lab at the Ragon Institute. #TwitterMigration
