We have extended the abstract submission deadline for the Evo-chromo workshop until April 11th so there is more time to get involved in this fantastic meeting! @EMBO @novonordiskfond @PRAndersen @LugerLab @DrinnenbergLab

Evo-chromo: Evolutionary approaches to research in chromatin

Chromatin is the complex of DNA, RNA and protein that is found making up the chromosomes in eukaryotic cells. Chromatin is essential for proper genome function and is involved in chromosome segregati…

Its amazing how broken the Irish research system is. I am submitting a grant to @scienceirel and reading their absolutely ridiculous requirements for an "impact statement" means my recent @ERC_Research grant wouldnt get funded in Ireland. Real lack of vision from @SimonHarrisTD

Very sad that the #EMBOevoAnimalGenomes meeting is over. Was awesome catching up with friends, making new ones and hearing amazing Science and all that in beautiful Seville which is, as Mike Levine described, "somewhere between Hollywood and the Bible"!

@PlantEvolution Im pretty sure that saying its the "only metazoan" is also a bit if a stretch. Most cnidarians are extremely plastic and Id bet you can find others that do just this!

A great example for the importance of "basic" science as a foundation for later translational discoveries!

@diandarisma Quick answer: No. The more complicated answer is that research is not a 9-5 regardless of career stage and working long hours and weekends is sometimes necessary to get things done BUT this should not be at the expennse of work/life balance.

1/4 I'm thrilled to announce that I'm joining @EMBOPress as an academic editor responsible for #Ecology and #Evolution . As you may know, while these 2 important subjects are part of @EMBO 's mission statement, the journals haven't frequently published papers on these topics. 🧵

New in @embojournal – 6mA randomly contaminates #Hydractinia embryonic genomes through misincorporation of degraded methylated maternal RNA. Alkbh1 is a cleaner, removing 6mA from the 64-cell embryo to allow zygotic transcription @Febrimarsa @BaxevanisLab

I often get asked why we still need pride....we need it because it is a protest, not a celebration and while this continues to be our reality we will continue to protest "the last words he heard alive were his attackers barking “disgusting f****t” at him"
