If a teen is interested in losing weight, chances are they may turn to artificial intelligence platforms to get advice.

I'll buy it! Which reminds me I haven't listened to you(r podcast) in a while
Dear letter writers, study sections, grant panels, etcβ¦..(though expecting little will resonate)β¦.
Okay now I'm on her 2025 episode on Night Science podcast and my god I need to listen to this woman every time I momentarily forget my love of research! And writing for whatever purpose!
Gonna search for her name and update here which one's the best episode for the one person who saved this post.
Listening to Maria Leptin (ERC president) talk about science, arts, research and grants. She is so wholesome and refreshing. Talks about funding from the perspective of the public, scientists, and government responsibility in such a lovely way!

(great podcast)
My style of training people in the lab is increasingly, "10 ways to avoid accidents and cross contamination." Or, "how to know you're adding the right thing to the right tube. And to know this one year later, note everything down RIGHT NOW!!"
Anyone else?
PhD students I know at this department are happy, so I recommend this position!
Are you looking for a PhD position, hoping to learn sexual selection theory from one of the true experts in the field? Lehtonen's work is awesome - Look at this and apply!

How can we tap into the enormous functional diversity of microbes on this planet?
Join us at EMBL Heidelberg (8β10 Dec 2026) to learn about ongoing efforts to decode gene function and organisation in human gut microbes, and present your science.
Annual reminder: if youβve been accepted to multiple graduate programs and are still deciding, please let the ones youβre definitely not going to know as soon as possible!
-Someone who got into his PhD off the waitlist the day after the deadline
This is kinda bonkers.
In addition, 20 amino acids were found on Ryugu, along with uracil and vitamin B3. These have been found in other instances, but since the samples from Ryugu were collected directly from the asteroid and delivered in sealed capsules, contamination on Earth could be ruled out.

Many people said trains, but I'm here for trams!
I haven't made a "my boss is so nice" post in a while, but just updating you all that she is still very good and a great mentor, and keeps encouraging me and giving me the right advice at the right time
We're just busy solving the mystery of our evolution experiment! π
I love that Munich is so sunny! Especially in the winter! No one told me, or I'd have moved here long ago, even changed my PhD direction and applied to all the Max Planck's here hahaha π instead of PlΓΆn
PlΓΆn was amazing in the summer, the sun is how you recruit me π
1/n New paper alert!
Bottlenecks are common in life cycles, but how do they shape the evolution of multiple cooperative traits at once? We tested this in M. xanthus under stringent vs relaxed bottlenecks.
Cool!
I've been wondering about putting out a preprint without making it perfect and tying all loose ends. Would feel better getting feedback from people before submitting for review. What is #Mevosky field thinking of this approach?
Hey do you know if there's a starter pack for dance pedagogy or dance education? Asking for a friend, I'm in microbial evolution π
Thanks!
Was so fun! Got so much feedback and tips for troubleshooting. Always a pleasure meeting MerMAN folx, I come back feeling appreciated π
