I study Evolution in a dry lab though I once had a monkey on my head.

Many novel Asgard genomes, cultivated Lokiarchaeia, new phylogenetic analyses: what insights do these and other recent studies provide into the enigmatic origin of eukaryotes? In this review in @Nature , we discuss the latest findings and open questions: https://t.co/LnGcoz50ot

@ESColizzi @Inria Amazing! Congrats Sandro!

[Michael F Seidl @MFSeidl]

Always a very special day to receive the final product of a PhD trajectory. Congratulations @xin43617988 really looking forward to your defense! @BinfUtrecht @_Westerdijk_

This week, # Panorama magazine published a story on its front cover based on an investigation I wrote as if it were its own, without any attribution.

So what happened? a thread🧵

Surinamese Brian Blue has a conviction for #cocaine smuggling in Brazil, a Europol Red Notice, and has shown up in multiple police investigations in different countries in the past decades. In Suriname, no one is looking for him. Read my latest here👇https://t.co/Zcc6hdUJJG

Save the date! The NLSEB meeting 2024 #NLSEB2024 will take place on April 22nd and 23rd!

We are putting together a very special program! Stay tuned for more information about the registration and abstract submission.

Ever wondered how eukaryotic cells got their nucleus? Check out this new hypothesis paper in which Anja Spang and I explain our idea - building on the inside-out model of eukaryogenesis: https://t.co/E0fP1AB9WT

Slowly getting used to my new title… Thanks @BinfUtrecht. Looking forward to more evolutionary biology at the Louis group in Oxford.

I've been honing my #blender skills with our symposium design 😋😸
Consider joining if you're interested in collective behaviour! We have great speakers 🩵💙💚

[Theoretical Biology & Bioinformatics @ UU @BinfUtrecht]

Bastiaan von Meijenfeldt kicks off the symposium organised around his PhD defence. His thesis, entitled Surprising biology in uncharted microbial sequences, includes broad and insightful metagenomics work, together with @BEDutilh.
Great day ahead full of interesting discussions!
