If you are looking for βmoreβ, apply for this outstanding PhD program which offers you ample opportunities to develop as a scientist and leader connecting to peers, leaders in the RNA field in Germany, Europe and around the world. Learn the science but also about translation into applications.
How does the piRNA pathway solve the self vs. non-self problem? π§¬
Since piRNAs come from single-stranded RNA, how does the cell choose the right ones? For years, "piRNA clusters" were seen as THE privileged source. But are they really special and earmarked for biogenesis? (1/19)
Still one more month on crutches and another month of exercises to be fully back and walking the (37kg) dog. But future looks much brighter than a few weeks ago :-)
This belongs to a machine called moto-splint, it is used to train knee mobility after surgery. The maximum range it can go to is 120. I started at 55 at the end of January.
It's done! Time to go home.
So, now me and my new knee can start putting our dignity back together :-)
Modern surgery is a miracle. And also a funny hourglass concept of dignity. You come with all your dignity and start giving it up until the moment you end up naked & shaved on the operation table and later in the intensive care. And from that moment you start to gain it back.
Yaleβs Institute for Foundations of Data Science (FDS) @yaledatascience.bsky.social is seeking applications for postdoctoral positions. These are cool, generously supported, competitive positions, expected to last 2-3 years, for independent scholars working on the foundations of data science.
π’ Open Call! The Max Perutz Labs invite applications for a Tenure-Track Professorship in Genome Biology. We are particularly interested in researchers investigating theΒ molecular and biophysical mechanisms underlying genome function and regulation. More details β‘οΈ tinyurl.com/3t7vvdct
Would slug genome biology be welcome in Vienna? π
Let's go! Super excited to partner with @richardsever.bsky.social and the fantastic @openrxiv.bsky.social team - Preprints have been the best thing that happened to science publishing during my lifetime, and we're happy @qedscience.bsky.social can make preprints do more π
How distressing is this post?

The death of American intellectual and scientific leadership. Not only Harvard does this: Stanford, Brown, Boston U: itβs across all higher education. MADA (dumb again)
Billy Corgan's face says yes.
BTW. Whoever thought that the graphics design of the Woodstock of Biology visuals reminds of something from the Mellow Collie and Infinite Sadness, it's because I wanted our visuals to give that feeling π

This #fossilfriday, we move in time to the #Permian when the #amphibian Seymouria sanjuanensis lived in what is New Mexico today. Clusters of large animals like this one are rarely found in the #fossil record, especially this well preserved.

Povazuju ho za mladsi a ambicioznejsi domaci variantu soucasneho rizeni - s lepsim zivotopisem a bibliometrickym vytlakem. Ty zbyle dva kandidaty neznam,
Za Zimou a Kralickovou vypada jako dalsi mozny adept na pozici rektora Krystoufek, prorektor pro vedeckou a tvurci cinnost z tymu rektorky. Ted ma ambice vest celou univerzitu. Jeho tri priority jsou napsane slusnym akademickym newspeakem:
vedavyzkum.cz/rozhovory-a-...
Zima se pro funkci rektora dokazal domluvit na vetsi podpore z fakult nez soucasna rektorka. Znamena to, ze Kralickovou fakulty odepsaly a chteji nejaky deal se Zimou? Rektorka zaroven (a jeji tym je v tom s ni) univerzitu opakovane zesmesnila a problem Campusu Albertov jde i za rektoratem.
Co si pamatuju, fakulta chtela za PhD program v DSPB, co jsme kdysi rozjeli v anglictine pro vsechny studenty oborove rady, aby skolitele platili za zahranicni doktorandy skolne a jeste se UK a PrF UK amoralne domahali (a domahaji) univerzitni afiliace za studenty na skolicich pracovistich na AV.
Priorita 3 ZvΓ½Ε‘enΓ poΔtu studentΕ― v cizojazyΔnΓ½m studijnΓch programech o Δtvrtinu oproti souΔasnΓ©mu stavu.
Byl jsem od zacatku u rozvoje biomedicinskych PhD programu v anglictine. A podpora tomu na PrF UK vazne nemela drive a vizi. Proc mam verit, ze by to Zima jako rektor najednou nasel?
... jinak je zkraceni fakt tezka dlouhodoba prace se studenty a skoliteli, kdyz se v nekterych oborech snazite PhD kvalitne. Opravdu vi Zima (a ostatni kandidati!), co to obnasi, nebo hlavne bude chtit, aby mel dobry cisla?
... pokracuji prioritami Zimy, ktery se dle fakultnich podpor jevi jako top kandidat
Priorita 2: SignifikantnΓ nΓ‘rΕ―st graduation rate u DSP v rΓ‘mci celΓ© instituce
... v DSP na UK delam 17 let. Znam problemy, co vedou k delsi dobe DSP dobre. Samozrejme se da hned zkratit, kdyz snizime naroky ...

Jako externistu me to trapit nebude a muj prispevek k vyuce a mentoringu na UK je nastesti nezavisly na tom, kdo sedi na rektoratu.
Vse je opet, jak bylo drive, a nic neni noveho pod sluncem a clovek se nemeni, i kdyz se meni jeho sat, ba i slova jeho reci. [Egyptan Sinuhet] π
A z dalsich kandidatu bych nevolil nikoho, kdo je naplno namoceny v soucasnem ci nedavnem rektoratnim cirkusu, protoze mi pripadaji vic soucasti problemu, nez soucasti reseni. Ale to je asi jedno, jestli AS UK bude dal zit ve sve vlastni verzi akademicke kultury, nic se nezmeni.
