Great to see it published! Loved the preprint and hope to catch up at some point!

Researchers from our Plaschka lab expected one molecular motor to dismantle the cell’s RNA-editing machine. Instead, they found three. Like three hands untying a knot, the motors act in sequence to take the spliceosome apart: https://bit.ly/4AQnqNQ

Really cool!

The head of the search comittee took me aside and asked me why I would continue to work on my cellular model of choice. I would fit so much better if I would also work on the model system everyone else was working on. This was after I received the offer. I declined. Both.

Can “jumping genes” spread like viruses? New research from the Brennecke lab at IMBA shows that, in fruit flies, certain transposable elements can break out of their own cell and slip into developing eggs—securing their passage to the next generation.

Die Rückkehr der Rassenlehre: Ich habe lange über den Fall Jason Arday recherchiert, und mir wurde rasch klar, dass es hier um etwas viel Größeres geht. Internationale rechte Netzwerke wollen die "woken" Unis politisch umdrehen. Und es läuft gut für sie. Der Text ist lang geworden - aber wichtig.

I really enjoyed "What We Can Know" by Ian McEwan. It reminds me of drafting a paper. All the information is there, but the reality- how you got there, which wrong turns you made, all that is not part of the story that is told in the paper. There are hints; if you read carefully, you find them.

Uh, that looks interesting! Congrats, @angelikafeldmann.bsky.social

Congratulations, Jack! That is awesome news!

A written thesis is part of the PhD, but it can be cumulative. No paper required to graduate.

@chribue.bsky.socialSep 1, 2026, 1:26 PM

Please spread wide! Excellent science, great mentoring and training! We offer an exciting and fully funded PhD position!
