Our internal organs are evolutionary marvels. New technologies are transforming our understanding of the evolution of vertebrate organs. You can find more by reading here: rdcu.be/e5EgU #EvoBio #EvoDevo 🐟🦎🐢🦇🐊🦜

Three books on the 2008 crisis, and it's surprising how little they overlap. What they share is outstanding writing—impossible to put down. I wonder what @gilliantett, @andrewrsorkin, and Michael Lewis will write about the next crisis. A silver lining of what lies ahead.

Excellent book by @hettieveronica. Mandatory reading for our times.

There a great exhibition about ancient DNA (and its impact on history) at the Crick Institute in London. On for a year and free. the-tls.com/regular-features…

🚨Registration for the UK #EvoDevo meeting is open! Join us on July 11th @QMUL to enjoy an exciting day of talks, posters, friends, and superb science! -Registration: shorturl.at/9cQGL -More info: londonevodevo.ac.uk Supported by @AzentaSciences @Novogene_Europe

...and If this piqued your interest, we have fully-funded postdoc positions (4+2 years) available! Join the dynamic, collaborative community @TheCrick with access to top-tier technology platforms and an outstanding postdoc training program. Please RT 🙏 crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/…

Congrats Rodrigo!! It has been great see you grow as a scientist and became a Doc! The best is still to come!! And congrats to your supervisor, nothing unmeaningful can happen by his side! 😉

Last Friday, @RodriSenovilla brilliantly defended his PhD project, and we have a new shinny Doctor in @AchucarroGlia!👏 Congratulations, well deserved accomplishment, and thanks for all these years of work and friendship. Best of luck in your Hox adventure! Geckoes will miss you

Stoked to present our latest, brilliantly led by Chris et al & Alejandro Torres-Sanchez. How tissues are patterned during development – we found that geometry-constrained ECM fractures pattern the myocardium in the vertebrate heart 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We offer three new positions to join BCA @MooreFound: 1. A full-stack developer to work on the BCA database with @emblebi 2. A senior research technician to develop sc methods 3. A bioinformatician to analyze new atlases with @SangerToL Details below. Please, share and repost.

SOX and POU are crucial Transcription Factors in animal development, believed to be innovations. We found them in unicellular relatives of animals. And hold tight, you can use a choanoflagellate 🦠 SOX gene to make a full chimeric 🐁 ! Read more here: rdcu.be/d0dPN 1/6

#Postdoc or #PhD position jointly hosted in our lab and that of Alexander Sasse @LXandR_ to investigate the evolution of gene regulation at the single-cell level across primates/mammals using state-of-the-art deep learning approaches: home.kaessmannlab.org/openPo… Please RT!

What a great afternoon at the London EvoDevo Meeting yesterday @QMUL @QM_SBBS ! Lots of familiar faces and friends (nearly a 100 attendees!) and stimulating research. Stayed tuned for more soon & thank u all for joining us. Let’s keep building community!

Congratulations to Crick and @QMUL researchers @IMalanchi, @fcicca and Dominique Bonnet on being awarded €9.8 million from @ERC_Research to investigate how our bodies maintain their 'status quo' over time 🥳 crick.ac.uk/news-and-reports…

Meeting alert! Registration deadline 15th November! Join us next year @TheCrick in London for The Beddington Dev Bio symposium. A stellar lineup of speakers, additional talks to be selected from submitted abstracts. You don't want to miss this crick.ac.uk/whats-on/the-3rd…

Does 6mA exist in eukaryotic DNA? This is our take on this dispute: yes it does, and can be very abundant, but mostly correlates with presence of the MT-A70 writer AMT1. Then, 6mA is associated with transcriptionally-permissive chromatin (H3K4me3) 1/6: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

In the current climate of disinformation and woolly thinking, stating the obvious in simple and direct language is necessary and essential. Sir Paul Nurse is very good at saying what needs to be said. He once told David Cameron that only a Neanderthal would cut the science budget. This is true, since knowledge, education and research are fundamental to our future. He’s also of course a great scientist. I’m delighted he’s retuning as President of the Royal Society.
