Exam session over! The students aren't the only ones relieved 😅

Good news: The EU has decided that researchers in Switzerland will be eligible to participate in the first three European Research Council calls for proposals for the 2025 programme year https://www.admin.ch/gov/en/start/documentation/media-releases.msg-id-101763.html #H2020 #Switzerlandhttps://www.admin.ch/gov/en/start/documentation/media-releases.msg-id-101763.html #H2020 #Switzerland

Very nice #spider #EvoDevo work led by Giulia Zancolli, postdoc extraordinaire: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-65336-2 #ArthropodEvolution #venomhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-65336-2 #ArthropodEvolution #venom

This resonated with my experience as a father and academic : https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02105-1

Dès demain (et enfin!) non sera non en Suisse. No means no in Switzerland too at last. La nouvelle loi sur le viol entrera en vigueur le 1er juillet https://www.rts.ch/info/suisse/14613545-la-nouvelle-loi-sur-le-viol-entrera-en-vigueur-le-1er-juillet.html

For the first time, thanks to @ap.brid.gy I replied to someone on Mastodon from my Bluesky account! Having the social web built on open protocol is a major paradigm shift.

First preprint from the postdoc of the excellent Agneesh Barua. We uncovered signatures of molecular convergence across teleosts and found that many of the convergent genes are multifunctional and pleiotropic. This was surprising considering that pleiotropic […] [Original post on ecoevo.social]

For the next 3 days I'll be at the #SIBdays24, the meeting of Swiss bioinformaticians organised by @SIB. Mute this hashtag if you don't want to hear about bioinformatics. Kicking off with a workshop on "navigating environmental challenges in bioinformatics".
