Ready for the final concert of the unbelievable Bach-Marathon, with Thomas-Organist Johannes Lang performing all(!) organ works from J.S.Bach in 14 back-to-back concerts, through 21 hours. I have attended 4 of the concerts, and it was a transcendental experience, for lack of adequate superlatives.

Just notice the preprint of Rare Allele Sharing (RAS) statistics was out on the same day of my talk in @official-smbe.bsky.social . Great thanks to my supervisor @stschiff.bsky.social and co-author Thiseas Christos Lamnidis!
Pls spread the word! We have a postdoc position available in the Rocha Lab @mpi-muenster.bsky.social. Join our team to study mechanisms underlying robust organ development using zebrafish embryos and human organoids.

Excited to share our new preprint "High resolution analysis of population structure using rare variants" https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.07.18.665597v1 where we investigate and formalise using rare allele sharing to quantify population structure, with application and examples in […]
There is a very nice documentary about the ancient Saxons on Arte and YouTube available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzwMzEEnKEE
