Version of record of our ctenophore nerve-net connectome paper.
Our preprint on the first genome-scale resource for the tuber crop T. tuberosum is now online. Thanks to my co-authors and everyone involved. @cosheidelberg.bsky.social | @greenrobust.de | @klaus-tschira-stiftung.de | @gso-forresearchers.bsky.social
New week, new HUPs member spotlieght!
👋🏻 Meet Jules Duruz, General Executive. He studies the behaviour of small marine invertebrates to better understand nervous system evolution. He values building a supportive, interdisciplinary postdoc community and especially enjoys HUPs networking events.
Two days of stimulating discussions with colleagues from @rdplab.bsky.social and @igflyon.bsky.social about science and life. Thanks for all the hospitality and engagement!
Today is the kick start of our @igflyon.bsky.social @cosheidelberg.bsky.social @rdplab.bsky.social common 2-day retreat in Lyon, @ensdelyon.bsky.social ! Very diverse and exciting talks going from plants, algae to animals!
Greenland, here it is again. This time with something really exciting!
New year - new round of SPARK@COS

He's taking us on an exciting journey to Greenland's mountains. Join us to discover what awaits.
We just moved to Bilbao after 16 year living in Heidelberg. I am grateful for the many friends and colleagues that I made during these incredible years. I look forward to the new challenges and opportunities, and to build new bridges between these two inspiring cities
We wish you all the best for your new life in Bilbao! Fantastic to see you thrive. Your contributions to COS were outstanding on all levels and we are sad that we lose an outstanding colleague.
#Zebrafish 🐟 meeting klaxon🧨 The registration period for the 1st German Zebrafish Meeting (16-18 Sept) is open www.germanfishmeeting.org with Sessions on Development, Pharma, Behavior, Omics, and more. Deadline for Abstracts at the end of April. Hope to see y'all there! 🧪 (1/n)
Stimulating visit of students from Seoul National University (SNU) at COS, IMSEAM and central research facilities this week in the context of their Global Leadership Program. Exciting case of international student exchange @uniheidelberg.bsky.social
