Thank you @NarimaneChatar and @GeolBel for inviting me to present some results of the @MSCActions #Back2Sea project at #GB2024!
Shout out our to our invited speaker @Amand_Gillet for a very interesting talk about the influence of the land-water transition in the mammalian vertebral column 🎉

It actually happened. The final paper of my PhD is now published! Why are sunbirds so colourful? Apparently there is no easy solution, but genetic and geographic differentiation seem to be the key players!

I guess it's the week of big announcements! 🚨
Congratulations @AVBroeck! So happy to see all of your hard work paying off! 🎉
Absolutely thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded an @ERC_Research Starting Grant for my project #TranSplice! 🎉🚀 I can’t wait to dive into RNA trans-splicing in kinetoplastids and uncover new fascinating biology! 🧬❄️🔬 @UniversiteLiege @frsFNRS #ERCStG

How is the cetacean backbone patterned compared to terrestrial mammals? 🐋
Happy to share that we provide answers this question in the 1st publication of our #Back2Sea @MSCActions project with @MCZpaleo and @Kjonesthebones!

Bonus point: we also made the code to identify regions publicly available as an R-package called MorphoRegions! aagillet.github.io/MorphoReg…

🚨 First publication alert 🚨
Using cutting-edge 3D geometric morphometrics we found age and growth-related shifts in vertebral anatomy of false killer whales. While sexual dimorphism remains elusive, findings illuminate how these changes impact mobility across life stages. 🐬

How are #ribosomes assembled 🏗️ in human cells?
In our new paper out in @ScienceMagazine, we used genome editing 🧬 and #cryoEM 🔬❄️ to reveal the molecular details of how the large ribosomal subunit (60S) is assembled in human cells. (1/n)

Pleased to share our latest work where we combined genome editing, biochemistry and cryo-EM to reveal the structural basis for human nucleolar and nuclear pre-60S biogenesis.
