📣 EvolDir is now managed by @eseb.bsky.social!
We are delighted to be taking the reins and express our gratitude to both Brian Golding who began this service to the community in the mid-1980s and to @rdmpage.bsky.social who ran this account until now 👏

#LabPaleoecology from the @ibb-botanic.bsky.social visited ALBA synchrotron for the first time to scan fossil insects embedded in amber. Results are very promising!
Organizing the National Course of Genetics 🧬 by @segenetica.bsky.social and Conexion Genoma @csic.es alongside @dariloops.bsky.social has been a blast!
A great opportunity for young researchers to learn and interact with leaders in the filed of #genomics during a whole week - the future is bright!

Interested in repetitive DNA? We are organising a free workshop on Oct 2nd at the Botanical Institute of Barcelona! All organisms included - not only plants ;-) Last chance for registration, don’t miss it!

🧐 El grup de recerca de la Integritat i la Inestabilitat del Genoma, liderat per la investigadora Aurora Ruiz-Herrera, demostra que els canvis en la temperatura ambiental poden alterar els processos genètics per a la reproducció i l’evolució de les espècies.

Family photo of the 2025 Workshop of the @treeofsex.bsky.social ! Thanks everyone for attending and see you soon!
Tree of Sex annual workshop started today. It will be two days packed with reproductive biology.
I can see they are doing quite well! Great!
Esta es Pepita, la salamanquesa🦎
Como todas las salamanquesas,Pepita:
❌NO es venenosa💀
❌NO te muerde👹
❌NO se come tu ropa👕
❌NO entra por ningún orificio de tu cuerpo para comerte desde dentro👃
😍Es preciosa
🦟Come bichos
Sé responsable. No la mates y repostea para proteger a Pepita.✌️

Drosophila follicle showing retrotransposons (pink & yellow) expressed in somatic cells infecting the oocyte
1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬
But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯
Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells.

A short thread 🧵👇
A paywalled article from @nature.com bemoaning the exploitation of scientists' unpaid labour. Chef's kiss. Perfection. No notes.
This is so destructive and idiotic. mRNA vaccines are one of the most exciting opportunities to tackle diseases - from infectious disease to cancer and beyond - and these morons want to shut it down.
The letter contains some fascinating insight into workings of a society operated paper vs a for-profit one, and mentions figures specific to operation of MBE. Well worth a read if you're interested in academic publications landscape.
The world’s richest man cries because his stocks fell and uses the White House for a Tesla advert. Meanwhile thousands of Americans he made jobless have no food.
Power only cares about itself. Which why the only real power is PEOPLE POWER. Time to bring the oligarchs down
One of these things is not like the others
Can we stop talking throwing around words like "autocracy" and "oligarchy" when talking about America's uncertain future?
According to history, political experts, and a little-known book called "a dictionary," America is ALREADY in the throes of fascism.
Excited to see this out!! In this thought-provoking review led by @davidperis.bsky.social and Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente we further demonstrate that insect #pollination was once widespread among #gymnosperms and existed long before the origin of #angiosperms
