- Loved when I visited UU. Both the amazing history of the place and an awesome town (I was there for the traditional annual river rafting event)
- Join us at the Evolutionary Biology Centre at Uppsala University. We’re searching for an Assistant Professor in Biology. www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

- Today is the International day for the elimination of violence against women. In 2024, an estimated 50,000 women and girls were killed by intimate partners or family members worldwide. That is 137 women and girls every day. One every ten minutes. www.un.org/en/observanc...

- Grateful to receive an R24 NOA from NIH/ORIP to advance phiC31-based transgenesis tools in #zebrafish. 🐟 Collab with @aburger2009.bsky.social & Breuss labs @cuanschutz.bsky.social. 🧬 ...and: big THX to everyone who already helped w/ sharing #pIGLET reagents! 🐽 #ShareYourTools #MakeMoreTransgenics

- Dear #izfc2025 participants, if anyone of you are interested in how transcription control defines mRNA fate and translation in zebrafish development, there are/will be several PhD and postdoctoral positions (funded by the Wellcome Trust) for this research. Please find me if interested.
