Absolutely thrilled to see Jamie Hackett honored like this. A major win for causal epigenetics!

We’re hiring math, computer science, physics, & biology PhD students (deadline April 4), postdocs, and techs to join our team studying territory-related social behaviors in male and female mice using circuit and molecular tools. Work at top international institute, live in Italy!

Population genetics and clinical genetics are merging in the UK with key support from @EMBL.

Wonderful to host Piero Piero Carninci at EMBLE Rome. A feast of incredible unpublished data on ncRNAs across cell-types and nuclear locales. Inspiring story for our fellows about the power of insisting on high quality full-length reads. Can’t wait to see the Human Cell Atlas papers!

It’s summertime! The moment to switch to crema al caffé at our local bar.

#Serotonin meeting in Berlin - visiting the Teufelsberg, Cold War listening station become street art haven. St. John’s Wort in the foreground for the serotonin insiders.

If you are a postdoc with cool data and ideas about gene expression, genome structure, or epigenetics in the brain - consider applying to take part in our networking symposium November 3 at EMBL Rome.

Fantastic Avishek! So happy for you and your team.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before - love graffiti left on money. “Roma 1/8/23 Leo ama Viola” - Italy really is a country of love.

We're hiring ambitious PhD students interested in the neural circuits underlying territorial behaviors. How do mice switch from aggression to escape depending on territorial context and dominance status? DEADLINE: March 11, 2024 embl.org/about/info/emb…

We're hiring ambitious PhD students interested in the molecular mechanisms of adaptation to social status. How do brain, immune, muscle, liver, gut and germline adapt to subordinate or dominant status in mice? DEADLINE: March 11, 2024 embl.org/about/info/emb…

Thank you Ewan. This is important to read – learned myself here how to think and speak about this. Almost managed to use this to explain race vs genetics to my kids. @Ewanbirney: Can you do a late-night TV version of this - that would crank-up the impact!?

Conceptual science rocks! It has been a long time since I heard a talk that was entirely dedicated to testing conceptual ideas: Stefan Stricker (@Labstricker) asked what happens when cell-types collide as a way to understand what is a cell-type. Thanks for the visit to EMBL Rome.

Still my favorite restaurant. You know who you are - thanks for the great company last night - it was a blast to hang out (as always)!

This is an exceptional museum - The National Gallery of Modern Art GNAM in Rome - eclectic top level works carefully set side by side - plus Monet, Degas. Kandinsky, Klimt, Warhol, Courbet. Thanks Jamie Hackett for reminding me.

Congratulations @danieleancora1! This is a great example of the power of the ARISE research infrastructure fellowships that fund talent to come to EMBL to develop new research service methods. Thanks Vicidomini Lab IIT for engaging with us.

📢 Opportunity for a #datascientist to shape @EMBL genomics initiatives 🧬 Based in Rome ☀️🍝🏖️ but working across EMBL’s sites, the package is very attractive If you have experience with (epi)genomics data & want a new challenge, check out 👇 #job embl.org/jobs/position/…

The global microbiome in a single graph - the vision of Planetary Biology is magically materializing in this talk by @EMBL‘s Peer Bork at our Traversing European Coastlines (TREC) marine-coastal expedition superstop in Naples. Bork Group at EMBL Heidelberg

The field of epigenetics is poised to find out what histone and DNA modifications really do and this is the first step. Check out in the genetic x epigenetics interactions - with enough data like this (across cell types) we will be able to predict regulation. Jamie Hackett

Our lab is looking for curious and creative PhD candidates from any area of biology, physics, chemistry. math, or computational science who are interested in figuring out how the brain produces social fear and aggression. Deadline: October 14. embl.org/groups/gross/
