Like #protists, #mitochondria, #evolution? Hate oxygen? Us too! Come join us as a PhD student as part of our #tango2lund project funded by European Research Council (ERC). Details about the position and how to apply: thelabupstairs.online/open-positions/

Folks making open calls for positions, how are you dealing with AI-generated cover letters? I'm able to recognize the phrases and use AI detectors. How do we evaluate the applicants if they all read eerily the same (since many probably used the ad text as a prompt)?

Cool! We're looking for some help getting set up with freshwater sponge research. We'd love to host a early-career researcher. Interested in learning about protists? Want to share wisdom of sponges? Please get in touch. Maybe Freshwater Sponge Research Emma Hammarlund Lab know someone?

Amazing postdoc opportunity to study a very interesting protist:bacteria symbiosis with Andrew J. Roger (@andrewjroger.bsky.social) ... Can I apply? #protist #anaerobic

Archaea can also use FeFe Hydrogenases too! Check out the thread by Chris Greening and associated link.

📢🎆We are hiring a postdoc to come work with mycorrhizal fungi in microfluidic soil chips to study fungal decision making at the micro-scale. Sounds intriguing? Come join us at Lund University! Apply through the link below ⬇️#fungi #microfluidics #postdoc lu.varbi.com/what:job/jobID…

It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress.

Great 🧵 by Andrew J. Roger (@andrewjroger.bsky.social) summarising the PhD work of Shelby characterising another (probably) amitochondriate lineage. The paper has everything! great genomes, the best FeS cluster system, and beautiful images by Psi Wavefunction (check out the bonus preprint at the end).

📢 A fully funded 4y PhD contract at the mncn Postgrado CSIC Madrid under my supervision, starting in early 2025. DM/Email if interested. Pls retweet 🙏

I'm looking for advice on synthesizing a small molecule(<200 Da) organic molecule that is not commercially available. Any advice on companies we could use to synthesize this for us? There are published protocols, but we are not chemists and other extraction methods seem tedious.

Happy to announce our paper about the GTRpmix model and exchangeability matrices designed for use with profile mixture models for eukaryote and eukaryote+archaea data sets is published: academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

Our new study led by brilliant PhD student Kelsey Williamson (along with many wonderful collaborators), resolves the root of the Eukaryote Tree of Life 🌍🧬 with unmatched precision! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Postdoc position available to work with me, in collaboration with Chris Lane Chris Lane, on Nephromyces, the closest non-parasitic, extracellular symbiont relatives of the blood parasites (Plasmodium et al). How did the business of blood parasitism start? jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48203/

This story started 5y ago with my lab. Spearheaded by fearless 1st authors theopi and Olivia Leland. Theopi is now a PhD student at Brown University. Olivia is a physics PhD student at Brandeis University, a self-taught biologist, and made us love soft matter. A (very long) thread (1/24)

Check out the thread below about Anaeramoeba - the case of an internal epibiont! Congrats all!!!

Does anyone in Europe have an axenic or monoxenic culture of Stentor, Blepharisma or Spirostomum they would be willing to share? Please DM me :)
