Hiking time with Hlouchova lab during our GACR project retreat in Jachymov. A lot of discussions on protein-RNA interactions under probiotic conditions🦠

Poster is up and I've tried hard to match my t-shirt with the poster title. We're in the front hall, No. 24. Visit us, there's more air than around the posters in the side hall🫠

Me: if you want to take early oral exam, draw me a picture next to your name, and I'll grade your test as a priority.
Student: I don't want to take the early exam, but I like drawing.

I've started teaching Computational biochemistry for various BSc programs. For my students, protein sequence alignment is like using photo filters - let the button do the job and then enjoy the results.
