Animal rights interest me just as strongly as living in a country where no one is above the law, and which is perceived as civilized internationally.

Do you agree?

Dear @donald-tusk.bsky.social, as a human being, a biologist, and someone who came to Krakow from Great Britain just three years ago, I just cannot. I am calling for your immediate PERSONAL intervention and investigation into animal abuse:

Also huge thanks to our collaborator at the @liverpooluni.bsky.social, Prof. Roy Goodacre, for joining us on this adventure!

Thrilled to announce our new "Nutri-Wolbachia" project! 🔬 We're exploring how insect diet & metabolism influence Wolbachia's power against viruses. Huge thanks to the National Science Centre for funding & to the reviewers who helped! #Wolbachia #Science #VirusControl #NCN @ioes-ju.bsky.social

Any #Drosophila folk have a Zaprionus davidi stock they'd be able to send myself and @ewachrostek.bsky.social ? Please share - thanks!

Polish shelters are overfilled with dogs and cats! Many well-behaved, house-trained, hundreds (if not thousands) of kittens and puppies 😓 I am trying to figure out what to do, as I just cannot accept it!

Thanks to @erc.europa.eu and @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social for Funding and @ioes-ju.bsky.social for hosting us!

The very first paper from my lab in Krakow is now available here: DOI: 10.3791/68207 Yes, it is a protocol, BUT it is also a GREAT protocol! Congrats to the first author @navinafrancis.bsky.social! Stay tuned, an update on the clones is coming soon!

What a fantastic opportunity for budding Drosophila biologists! And who couldn’t use some extra mentoring and counseling (and whiskey) nowadays!

Research group open days at Institute of Environmental Sciences, JU (Cracow, Poland). If you are around 30th May, come and see what we're up to :)

Come and see what we do!

@greghurst.bsky.social , look what happened :)

Our New Paper is out! Great work by Mashaneh Ahrar and the team - thank you all, especially @makaefer.bsky.social and Greg Hurst (is he on Bsky???)! TBC :)

Join Us! | King Lab Are you interested in joining the King Lab? More information here!

Come join us at beautiful UBC! The King Lab is recruiting a Post-doc Fellow to develop mathematical theory on infectious disease evolution and emergence, together with Ben Ashby (SFU) #zoonoses #biodiversity www.zoology.ubc.ca/kinglab/join...

Just doggies today because I love my furballs 🥰

@navinafrancis.bsky.social and Dominika Włoch-Salamon are teaching it as well :)

New Course available for interested Jagiellonian University Students! If you are curious about our lab mosquitoes 🦟, pathogens🪱(in tropics or here - in Europe), and you are not afraid to learn and test some molecular🧪🔬 and computational methods💪- join us for Vector Borne Course! @ioes-ju.bsky.social

If you are in Brussels next week, join me, Rafał Kucharski, Krzysztof Fic, and Leszek Kaczmarek for the panel discussion on the Research and Innovation Priorities of the Polish EU Presidency! erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

Last week we had some amazing outreach happening here at the @ioes-ju.bsky.social! Thanks to the team preparing it, and Jagiellonian University for supporting the initiative!

Chcą więcej dobrej jakościowo nauki - Forum Akademickie Mam cichą nadzieję, że nasze postulaty staną się wskazówką dla innych, w tym dla resortu nauki, który prędzej czy później będzie musiał podjąć się reformy systemu. To nieuniknione – mówi dr Krzysztof ...

Ewa Chorstek @ewachrostek.bsky.social jest biotechnolożką wykształconą na UJ. Po wielu latach za granicą wróciła do Polski z grantem ERC.
Co mówi Ewa i jej koledzy w podobnej sytuacji?

Thanks @ioes-ju.bsky.social ES for highlighting my Interview for Forum Akademickie!

In just few days my amazing PhD student Navina Francis will lead a workshop on "Climate, critters and superheroes" here at the Institute of Environmental Sciences in Cracow, Poland. I can promise it will be fun, so come over if you can: www.nocbiologow.pl/index.php?id...

Happy to be in Prague (or close enough ;) for the correlative light and electron microscopy of #Wolbachia! Thank you @eurobioimaging.bsky.social for the grant, and all the Team here for the warm reception!

Sure :) We use Drosophila melanogaster - Wolbachia - viruses (DCV, FHV) to discover the basic mechanisms governing antiviral protection and virus-induced pathology. I think disovery of Toll involvement in immunity in Drosophila (Lemaitre et al. Cell 1996) makes me think I shuld be here.

I would love to join!

Drosophila person here. I would love to be added!
