Transferable approaches to CRISPR-Cas9 induced genome editing in non-model insects: a brief guide - Frontiers in Zoology Despite the large variety of insect species with divergent morphological, developmental and physiological features questions on gene function could for a long time only be addressed in few model speci...

Our review on CRISPR-Cas9 based techniques is now out in BMC Frontiers in Zoology. Have a look if you are interested in applying genome editing in insects or other organisms!

Es ist ein Schlag ins Gesicht von #IchbinHanna, der man vorgeworfen hat, sie würde Stellen „verstopfen“ oder sich auf ihnen „einkuscheln“, jetzt „Spitzenkräften“ ein - Zitat - „Rundum-Sorglos-Paket“ anbieten zu wollen. Wie anders als einen affront soll man das im Mittelbau denn bitte wahrnehmen?

Differences in size and number of embryonic type II neuroblast lineages correlate with divergent timing of central complex development between beetle and fly Genetic labeling and molecular analyses characterize the dynamics of embryonic central complex-forming type II neuroblast lineages in Tribolium castaneum.

Our paper on type II neuroblasts in beetle brain development is finally out! Many thanks to @elife.bsky.social for the supportive review and publication process.

There is a preprint of our review on CRISPR techniques in non model insects. Feedback welcome!

Thank you Max!

Women are credited less in science than men - Nature The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples.

1. Women are credited less in science than men.

2025 will start with a #GoenomiX talk by @timothyint.bsky.social from University of Zurich. He will present his work "Exploring the biases and mechanisms of regulatory DNA emergence" on Thu, Jan 9, 2025 at 14:15. Seminar will be offered in hybrid format. Check details here: pad.gwdg.de/s/a_5KCo2cq

Aber da Promotionszeiten abgezogen werden liegt die Höchstbefristung als Postdoc doch oft darunter, oder nicht? Es gibt mit Sicherheit noch andere Kriterien!

Ja, das würde mich dann auch interessieren. Ich denke wenn es zeitlich genau passt geht es. Und gute Netzwerke sind wahrscheinlich auch von Vorteil.

Im Prinzip kaum möglich für #ichBinHanna zumal diese Projekte von der Planung und Antragstellung an sehr lange Vorlaufzeiten haben.Da muss es zeitlich schon genau passen. Ein weiteres Beispiel wie das WissZeitVG und die Stellenpolitik der Hochschulen gegen den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs arbeiten.

Ich denke es wird intern entschieden und man sollte schon bei der Antragstellung dabei sein. Also am besten Kontakt aufnehmen wenn man hört,dass was passendes in Planung ist. Schwierigkeit für #ichBinHanna : die DFG möchte, dass die Laufzeit des Projektes durch die Stelle weitgehend abgedeckt ist.

I would like to be added 🙂

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?

Look at this interesting read on the contribution of woman authors to the new field of Developmental Mechanics (i.e. Developmental Biology) based on contributions to the first 50 yrs (1894-1944) of the journal Roux's Archives/ now Development Genes and Evolution.
