@jlarsch.bsky.social and I are organising the 2026 CIG Symposium on June 11-12 in Lausanne on "Information transfer: from genes to behaviour", featuring an eclectic set of brilliant scientists. Details and registration here (abstracts by May 1, registration by June 1):

Greetings from #SRBR2026! Come see me speak about seasonal plasticity in broadly distributed and equatorial endemic Drosophila species in Amelia ballroom 1-2 on Tuesday May 12th at 8:30 AM.
Great article on the kinds of people that will thrive in an academic career. It is a funny skillset, but when you look around you see all of these selections at play
Excited to share a new review by @kocherlab.bsky.social and me:
Nature-inspired neuroscience
We discuss diverse sensory systems and behaviors across the animal kingdom and argue for their integration into neuroscience. New tools in diverse systems are making this possible ✨

What should Europe do when demand for #ERC funding keeps rising?
Restrict access or invest in excellence?
Please read our open letter calling for reconsideration of the ERC 2027 resubmission restrictions & for constructive alternatives that preserve openness

Hello all, our lab is recruiting a PhD candidate to study how 3D genome folding impacts gene regulation in development. We're located at the Center for Integrative Genomics department of the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Please email me if interested.
#PhDPosition, #PhDOpportunity
How do duplicated receptor genes "find a home" in olfactory circuits? Great study by the Arguello lab shows the re-coding of olfactory channels across species. Neat combination of phylogenetic reconstruction, sc-transcriptomics and more. Check out the pre-print: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Excited to share that I will start my lab at the Center for Integrative Genomics in Lausanne @unil.bsky.social in Jan 2027! I’m looking for PhD students fascinated by how cells build tissues and excited about developing new technologies to study development across scales. www.wanlab.bio/pages/9397
📣 Job announcement: we have an open Postdoctoral position in the field of neural stem cell metabolism!
Motivated candidates should apply through the official platform under this link, where you can also find more informations: career5.successfactors.eu/career?compa...
Please help spread the word!
New report from @bentonlab.bsky.social in #G3journal used #GWAS, #transcriptome-to-phenotype, and mutant analyses to identify genes linked to octanoic acid resistance, revealing evolutionary pathways in the species-specific tolerance of toxins in #drosophilids. 🪰
