On a final note, my contribution to the genome-wide analysis and characterisation of candidate genes would not have been possible without the ERASMUS+ exchange program with European universities. 🇪🇺 3/3

Using an Evolve-and-Resequence approach the team identified a deletion which shortens embryonic development in Tribolium castaneum via the ecdysone degrading Cyp18a1. 2/3
Los escarabajos son de gran importancia para los ecosistemas. En 🇨🇴 la #Biodiversidad es tan maravillosa, que seguimos descubiéndola. Compartimos al 𝐴𝑖𝑑𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑢𝑠 𝑔𝑒𝑚𝑎 o pequeño escarabajo coprófago del GEMA, descubierto recientemente. #DiaNacionalDeLaBiodiversidad
THE TERRITORY is remarkable documentary storytelling as it follows an indigenous tribe in Brazil fighting against illegal invaders. The immersive filmmaking (the sound!) pulls you in like the greatest thrillers and then stuns you with the raw emotions of the people at its center.
Please RT‼️ The deadline for applications for this year's Leverhulme Trust Study Abroad Studentship is Jan 9th - open to those who have studied in the UK and now want to pursue a taught master's, doctoral or post-doctoral research in any field, anywhere except the UK/USA.
As @MerlinSheldrake wrote: “Fungi are everywhere but they are easy to miss.”
During the Cambridge Green Week, we asked citizens to collect roots samples from their gardens, allotments and parks to screen them for fungi. The result: all of them associated w/ TONS of fungi! 🧵1/4
Stick to yourself! In our latest article (@ThePlantJournal, https://t.co/2f6k5vXgqY) from my PhD time (@ZMBP_Tuebingen), we show how and why Arabidopsis membrane trafficking regulators GNOM and GNL1 are kept separate within a cell. 1/11
