Why does learning drop when tech enters the classroom? Because computers train kids to skim. Dr. Horvath warns that we are currently redefining education to fit our tools rather than designing tools to fit how our children actually learn.

The Meeting of the German Zoological Society will take place in Münster from September 7 to 11! Abstract submission until June 15!
🧪
Apply now to join us in December for our workshop "Rethinking Cell Differentiation and Development: A Unicellular Perspective". This will be an intimate meeting (30 people total) and we hope will be a great place to discuss this topic.
Only 1 weeks to apply (April 7) for the joint Master program on "Evolutionary Genomics and Systems Biology" in Vienna.

Cool program with hands-on experience taught by leading scientists in PopGen, EvoDevo, Evolutionary Systems Biology.
Spread it!
Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings
Today the EMBO Journal special issue on molecular ecology and evolution is finally published.
It was a pleasure coordinating this collection together with @berndpulverer.bsky.social and many outstanding authors.

Looking for a #PhD project?
The #DEEVA team (biom.obs-banyuls.fr/presentation...) proposes a PhD research project on the evolutionary modifications in the formation of the palps, the sensory and adhesive organ located at the anterior end of the #ascidian larvae.
If you wondered what ‘oidsks’ are - these belong to a species of ‘Haptomonitora typo-didae’. Can frequently be found on the world wide webs.
It was great meeting with a very pleasant atmosphere! Together with our befriended Spanish and Dutch Societies. Thanks to Salim Seyfried and the others for organizing it. Next time in Heidelberg...
Congratulations!!

The PopGen Vienna Seminar series schedule is ready for the next term (March-June). It's jam-packed with fantastic speakers in #evolution, #genetics, #genomics, #popgen, and more! Details and streaming link signup can be found on our website popgen-vienna.at/news/seminars/
On my trip through the Galapagos, I bumped into my old friend Charles Darwin. I knew he is still alive! We agreed that the islands are simply amazing.

I just want to throw it out again, in case people missed it. Great opportunity for female postdocs.
Last week, we announced a plan to make child care universal. Today, applications are open for pre-K & 3-K. If your child is turning 3 or 4, apply now for the fall at: myschools.nyc
Now Open: E-STEEM Postdoc Call 2026
20+ fully funded 4 year-postdoc positions for females in STEM (and Economics) at the University of Vienna.

Select your desired Host. Anyone interested in my lab, please get in touch.
Great work! Congratulations to the Arnone, Hinman and Maeso teams!
Our work on the evolution of the regulatory genome of echinoderms is now out in @natecoevo.nature.com. Led by my former PhD Marta Magri, Danila Voronov & Saoirse Foley. Great collaboration of Arnone, Hinman & Maeso labs, started long time ago with our missed José Luis Gomez-Skarmeta: rdcu.be/eXX8l
We observed that while gene activity groups cell type functionally, whereas CREs and regulatory seqs group them ontogenetically. E.g. mesenteric and tentacle retractor muscles, a dev convergence described by @alisongcole.bsky.social and @ulrichtechnau.bsky.social.

We are considering to change the name, but then we take a big risk and will loose our Impact factor for 2 years. The last 10 years FinZ has been ranked among the top 10 journals in the category Zoology.
I can only second this. BUT, what people often are not aware of: Frontiers in Zoology does NOT belong to the rest of the Frontiers in journals. It is the official journal of the German Zoological Society, a BMC journal and founded BEFORE the other Front in. We suffer a lot from this hijacking.
A new Hydractinia single-cell atlas from the Schnitzler lab: >47K cells from feeding polyps and stolon tissue that refines major somatic cell lineages and recovers a novel population of putative immune cells – a valuable resource for the cnidarian research community and beyond! tinyurl.com/hsymSC
