I am very happy to be at #SMBE2024 to receive the amazing news that we are bringing #SMBE2026 to Copenhagen!! Thanks for the vote of trust Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution

Muchas gracias a todos @ #SMBE2024 Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution! It was absolutely fantastic and I hope to be back soon! 🙂🇲🇽





Please RT: we have Swiss National Science Foundation -funded #Postdoc and #PhD positions in our lab, to investigate the gene regulatory dynamics during vertebrate skeletogenesis in a comparative setting (see doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… and doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… ) - apply by 31.12.24, start date by 1.2.25!


Check out Dimitrios Kontopoulos @DGKontopoulos paper on the evolution of torpor & associated traits.
