So don't wait until the deadline to register raissiglab.org/plantdevosch... !
Cost: €350.- for conference, accommodation, meals, and a wine tasting in a local winery 🍷
That time of year again! If you'd like an example of job apps in academia or industry, here's a good resource. If you got a job in industry or academia in the last few years, please consider adding yours! github.com/RILAB/statem...

Tuleeko tällä kertaakin jossain vaiheessa tieto, mikäli hakemus ei ole edennyt jatkokäsittelyyn?
We're looking for a new colleague at Asssoc Prof level! Come join us in the Zoology Department at Stockholm University. A teaching profile in ecology, faunistics and/or physiology is beneficial. Find the full job advertisemnt here: su.varbi.com/en/what:job/...
Thank you for hosting, Uppsala Universitet!
Foreseen already by e.g., author Sami Tissari in his great dystopic book Krysa.
What a memorable day to give and listen to inaugural lectures of new professors at University of Helsinki! Here we are after the lectures with colleagues Fred Stoddard and Anne-Maria Pajari and the dean Ritva Toivonen from the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry. @helsinki.fi
It is a little bit depressing that 80 % of papers applying population genetic methods typically estimate π (nucleotide diversity per bp) wrong, and even worse, do not realize that when looking at the point estimates.
Out after peer review, collaborative study from Nordborg & Weigel labs with help from many others. Not the largest collection of new Arabidopsis thaliana genomes, but we hopefully put forward some good ideas for how to think about pangenomes and their analysis!

Baffling failure of a well-studied trade-off in plants to survive the transfer from greenhouse studies to the open field. Intriguing study from @derekseveri.bsky.social @plantevolution.bsky.social and colleagues in @plosbiology.org
We are seeking two postdoctoral researchers or doctoral researchers for: (i) Remote sensing advised country-wide genotype-phenotype linking, and (ii) Country-wide study of genetic adaptation and population structure dynamics in a changing climate. jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...
Beets, 🥕, 🌰, pickles, 🍎, sometimes also herring.
And I thought that Finnish Chrismas salad "rosolli" was weird.
Oh my god...
You know over the years what I have been really bothered by? When I was in college, bryophytes were taught as if they were relics of the past. Its sole purpose was to demonstrate trait progression leading to angiosperm, w/o mentioning their importance in nature, research, or potential in biotech.
Googlen NotebookLM on alkanut tehdä suomenkielisiä pocasteja. Nais-AI:n ääni kuulostaa karmivan samalle kuin Tuija Pehkonen. Pehkonenhan on ollut radiossa paljon äänessä.

Who started this ridiculous habit of using K for thousands? 10K run? 10 kelvin run is freezing! And now in scientific writing too. I know there are big battles going on now, but I will focus on this one instead.

NSF Q&S highlighting response to question "Are you still funding research on misinformation?". RESPONSE: NSF will not support research with the goal of combating "misinformation" "disinformation" or "malinformation" that could be used to infringe on the constitutionally protected speech rights of American citizens across the US
The NSF discontinuing “misinformation” research b/c it threatens free speech is laughable. 9/
Still waiting for a reimbursement from a US University that invited me there to give a talk last August. My advice: do not ever pay the travel expenses yourself when invited and promised reimbursement.
Me to my lab members: "No need to stress about your Lab Meeting presentation. Just show us where you are at in your project". Also me: *spending 8 hours to prepare my own lab meeting presentation and getting nervous about it*.
Today I have spoiled myself with reading just single review paper all day, taking pauses to think. Luxury!
Pictures of two dichogamy morphs in Pterocarya trees, a graph visualizing flower dimorphism, and a phylogeny of the Juglandaceae family showing divergence times and origins of genetic systems for heterodichogamy.
I'm excited to share our new preprint on the molecular evolution of heterodichogamy in two wingnut genera of Juglandaceae. Heterodichogamy features two morphs synchronously alternating male and female flowering phases in time to generate disassortative mating.

The Oxford Nanopore Technologies stock performance on the GBX exchange, showing a strong downward trend.
The newer sequencing tech, Oxford Nanopore, is traded on the London exchange as part of the FTSE 250, and it is likewise having a rough day, down 10% today so far, 42% since Trump took office.
These tools are how we genotype cancer, flu, measles, etc., by the way.
