"Humbled to receive this recognition. This belongs as much to my team, my family, & to my home, Palestine: the people, the place, the joyful stubbornness to enjoy life." Cheers buddy @gautamdey.bsky.social Thx to my mentors @sophiemartinlab.bsky.social, @paveltomancak.bsky.social, & Pierre Gönczy.

We are looking for a new colleague to join us in Galway. The position is in Biochemistry and if research focus lines up we hope the successful person will join us in the Centre for Chromosome biology (chromosome.ie). Reach out if you are interested in applying! tinyurl.com/2jy4rj3r

Congrats @canaztekin.bsky.social ! So proud, and very well deserved mate !

Delighted to see our grantee Gautam Dey among this year's laureates. Congratulations to all!

Amazing Alex & Co.

Thank you @embo.org for the ringing endorsement of collaborative research, and for the boost to our young field of evolutionary cell biology! @embl.org coverage here: www.embl.org/news/awards-... @biology-unige.bsky.social coverage here: www.unige.ch/sciences/chi... #ProtistsOnSky 🧪🌏 2/2

Science really takes a village. Thrilled to share this with my friend @dudinlab.bsky.social, and with our brilliant and fearless teams, our collaborators around the world and our mentors - in my case a special shoutout to Buzz Baum, Jan Ellenberg and @monicabettencourt.bsky.social. 1/2

An amazing new tool to explore "non-models" is just about to open a new world of imagining possibilities....

A place to be !. Amazing science happening there.

The two collaborators received the award for their contributions to the field of evolutionary cell biology, focusing on the origins of nuclear organisation and multicellularity, respectively.

Capolavoro 🎨 alert 🚨! What is the role of gene body methylation in invertebrates? Despite extensive speculation linking it to plasticity and environmental responses, its mechanistic effects and heritability remain unclear. Our take out in @natecoevo.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/
