@F_A333 Specific project calls are incoming, but for now interested students can reach out directly: https://t.co/0RHP4CxcbN

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

Join us! The Saunders lab is looking for postdocs, PhD students, and technicians to join our new lab at #COSHeidelberg ���🧬🔬🇪🇺

We’re studying neural crest lineage plasticity in fish with developmental genetics and single-cell genomics. For postdoc apps: https://t.co/JG4P5PkjgE

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

��🇪🚆🏰Heidelberg offers a vibrant life sciences community with DKFZ, EMBL, and UniHD + we’re just 2 hrs from Basel and 4 hrs from Paris (by train)! Reach out if you’re curious about living in Europe - affordable childcare, 30 days vacation/yr, a walkable city, and more

[Michael Dorrity @mwdorr]

We have postdoc openings related to EMBL's new "Life in Context" program. What's unique about them? Opportunities for fieldwork, learning cutting-edge single cell genomic techniques, using non-traditional model organisms, and a focus on the effects of the environment.

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

@mpmeers There are good tools for this mike :) I use onetab to consolidate all my tabs into a list of dated, clickable links…that I never click!

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

And please do check out @mwdorr’s preprint which highlights how the approach can be used to study environmentally-induced phenotypic variability!

[Cole Trapnell @coletrapnell]

Our preprint on using single-cell sequencing to study how zebrafish embryos manage temperature stress is now online. Led by @mwdorr, with critical contributions from @lsaund11, @maddymduran, @SRsrivatsan, and David Kimelman. https://t.co/2zZHMx6PKu

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

…and of course, we couldn't have done it without decades of work by the zebrafish community on the genetic perturbations we included!

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

I'm excited to finally share my postdoc work, co-lead with my dear friend @SRsrivatsan, establishing a framework for time-resolved, multi-scale phenotyping of whole zebrafish embryos. See Cole's thread for a semi-brief digest of our findings! 🐟🧬

[Cole Trapnell @coletrapnell]

Our preprint on deep phenotyping of genetic perturbations of zebrafish embryos with single-cell RNA sequencing is now online. Led by @LSaund11 and @SRsrivatsan, with David Kimelman, @CeciliaMoens, @RaibleLab and @JShendure https://t.co/cbh12F0uJU

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

Thanks especially to the dream team I was fortunate enough to work with while generating and disentangling this giant pool of data!
@mwdorr @maddymduran @RaibleLab @CeciliaMoens @coletrapnell & David Kimelman

[Michael Dorrity @mwdorr]

Are you a ⭐️molecular biologist⭐️ who wants to use single cell genomics to study how climate change affects fish development? Want to live in Europe? The Dorrity lab is hiring a Lab Officer to join our growing team! 🐟🌡🧬 https://t.co/01uDCHDblG

[Cole Trapnell @coletrapnell]

Our paper on sci-Space, a spatially resolved version of sci-RNA-seq, is out today!
Led by @srsrivatsan and @mregier13, Joint work with @JShendure and @kellystevenslab. (Art by @nigelsussman)

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

Plus could not have done it without @SRsrivatsan's sci-mastery! @parichylab @coletrapnell

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

What a fun collab with @Andrewjohnaman! We used the power of sci-RNA-seq to profile nuclei across 4 genotypes during scale development in z-fish. Andy dug deep with live imaging, and we found some exciting new stuff about the cells involved in patterning scales and pigment!

[@parichylab.bsky.social @parichylab]

Last up, postdoc @Andrewjohnaman and @Lsaund11 in @coletrapnell lab document the diversity of skin cell types in zfish. 8/11

[Michael Dorrity @mwdorr]

🎉 I’m starting my lab at @EMBL Heidelberg in January! 🔥🐟🔬 We'll use zebrafish to study developmental robustness in changing environments with single-cell genomics. If that interests you, stay tuned - I'll be growing my team in the near future! https://t.co/kdgcCTwppe

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

@AdamIsabella1 it's comforting to know I'm not the only one still mad about the green skittle betrayal

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

Do not skip the movies in this one - Andy's heroic imaging efforts and fish resuscitation skills allowed him to track scale development over three months!

[@parichylab.bsky.social @parichylab]

We have a new preprint out on postdoc @andrewjohnaman’s work on scale development in zebrafish, with help from @LSaund11 and undergrad Margaret Kim. 1/12

Interested in single cell genomics but need help getting started? Check out the full agenda for our Single Cell Genomics Day next Friday (3/26). All talks will be live-streamed (no registration required) at https://t.co/ZYfAPcXfj7

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

@trs @mwdorr Woah! Eila definitely did not mind all the water

[Lauren Saunders @LSaund11]

A bright spot in 2020! Congratulations!! I guess I picked a good day to do some CRISPR editing 🙌 #NobelPrize

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

BREAKING NEWS:
The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”

[Nathan Lawson @LawsonZFLab]

We made some new zebrafish tools! We built and tested a new #zebrafish #transcriptome, which improved gene detection in #RNAseq, especially in #scRNAseq. Check out our new paper at @eLife: https://t.co/sYHNqAlrFw. My 1st "real" first author paper in almost 20 years!
