Is this jargon?

I think the taboo of the challenges of academic environments is very slowly, glacial pace really, but starting to be talked about more openly even in the news here in Germany at least. I'm sure your experience would be relatable to more people than you think... It's brave to open up about them.

Thank you to all the many people who helped me with my proposal and a special shout-out to my first ever research assistant Sarah Sonnenberg. To the wonderful, encouraging and supportive people I met along the way.

I can't wait to start this new adventure. (4/4)

I am so grateful to the encouraging people at @cmcb-tud.bsky.social , the @tudresden.bsky.social and especially the EPC and the Graduate Academy, without which none of this would have been possible. I think I've used almost all the available career support services there are on offer. (3/4)

The secret to shrew brain shrinkage? 🤔
Not cell loss, but water loss!
Our new paper shows that brain cells shrink by losing water, a wild feat of brain plasticity 🤯

Evolution’s eye game is wild, but mollusks take it to another level

CRISPR in apple snails gives us a new model to dissect how nature rebuilds complex organs like the camera-type eyes we humans possess

It turns out Evolution doesn’t just innovate, it rewinds, remixes, & regenerates

A genetically tractable non-vertebrate system to study complete camera-type eye regeneration

Nature Communications - Accorsi et al. show that the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata has eyes similar to humans and can fully regenerate them. They then developed genetic tools to establish these...
