I’m recruiting new members to the Farrell Lab this summer. We will have space for 1 postdoc (since Abhinav is leaving to start his own lab at U Arizona!!) and 2 postbacs, since my current two will leave for PhD programs at the end of the summer. More details in thread:
UGA Genetics is hiring! Please share! An ideal candidate will employ genetic models of disease in a research program with an emphasis on epigenetics, aging, chromosome biology, gene regulation, systems biology, or drug resistance mechanisms. jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/675651/a...
Thanks for a great talk max!!
Some exciting news! NCBI has finished the annotation pipeline for our new #zebrafish reference sequence GRCz12tu:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq/annot...
This is a big step up in data depth and quality and should be super helpful going forward.
We pay our academic editors (we don't do special issues with guest editors). Beginning in April, we also pay peer reviewers @biologyopen.bsky.social details to be announced at #biologists100 bit.ly/4h1cmCC @biologists.bsky.social
Maybe not a zebrafish meeting per se, but we'll have some fishy friends there alongside colleagues studying Epigenetics in all sorts of other awesome plant, animal, fungal, and protist models!
Robin Allshire and I are chairing. This has always been my favorite meeting due to the collegiality, excellent science, and wide representation from different model systems. Priority acceptance for those who submit abstracts. We plan to start selecting short talks from abstracts around mid-April.
Epigenetics Folks, Science must go on! Please consider joining us for the Epigenetics Gordon Research Conference to be held August 10-15 in Barcelona. Please spread the word and apply early, as this meeting always oversubscribes! www.grc.org/epigenetics-...
Yo-we can't buy your products if you don't labor to reverse the funding freeze, and you'll have to close your plant in Mebane NC

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in
"...Moreover, federal reimbursement of indirect costs was seen as a way to get universities to accept federal funding at all, since at the time many universities “had no interest” in federal funding “owing to fears about government intrusion in curricula, research topics, and governance.”
Really appreciate Jonathan Lambert pointing out that NSF grants are congressionally mandated to weigh how grants broaden participation in science, putting the administration's executive order against DEIA in conflict with, and potentially undermining, congressional legislation

Zebrafish friends, IZFS has made it to BlueSky! 🐟
Pardon us, Bluesky! We didn't really introduce ourselves during this latest barrage. ZR! covers highlights of all things #zebrafish and other cool teleost species. We act as a resource hub for questions and queries from the community while celebrating all those that are part of it! #RockOn 🧪 #SciSky
We have 15 PhD positions available as part of the DANIO-ReCODE MSCA DN 🇪🇸🇩🇪🇸🇮🇭🇷🇦🇹🇬🇧 Great opportunity for anyone interested in developmental biology, regeneration, genomics, and computational sciences. For project descriptions and how to apply, check: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/290548
There's a lot of new people here. Welcome! So I'm reposting our starter pack.

Graduate student and advisor standing next to students thesis presentation ppt
So proud of Goll lab graduate student Katie Duval for doing an amazing job defending her thesis today. Look out world, here comes Katie!
Congratulations to the winners of the Nobel prize! I hope their stories, particularly KK's, force us to confront the misogyny, bias and assumptions about "impact" and "excellence" that very likely limit the recognition of similar innovations that could improve our world.
Safe travels to everyone making their way to Durham! For conference attendees, please remember to use #ZDM16 in your posts 🙏
Text showing very low paylines at NIAID
For those who haven't followed the news the Fiscal Year 2024 NIH funding bill approved by the House Appropriations Committee has unprecedented cuts: An overall 6.2% cut, a 2.6% cut in NIGMS, a 2.9% cut for the NCI & the NIAID budget slashed by 22.9%. Look at projected paylines under this vision 🧪
In some distant reality academics will talk about the life-changing EDI/DEI initiatives they’ve devised and delivered, or the weekend open days they’ve attended, or the pastoral support they’ve provided their students and the strong relationships that sustain beyond that, or…etc, etc.
Abstract submission for #TAGC24 is open now through Nov 9! Topics include Neurogenetics, Genomes & Genomics, Ecological Genetics, plus model organism meetings, amazing keynotes, industry sessions, career/networking events & much more.
