If you want to discuss #networks in #evo-devo, you should join this year's satellite symposium of the @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social organized by the developmental biology section (@marketa-kau.bsky.social, Benjamin Naumann, Alexander Klimovich). I will talk about gene regulatory networks.

On Thursday, February 29, at 14:15 we will have the first of a few talks from #Goenomix members to show a bit of what we are doing in our consortium.
@bucherlab.bsky.social will revisit the mechanisms underlying segmentation with a new exciting RNAi tool.

Done! Haven't been using #researchgate lately anyways. Nice trigger to get rid of another platform. Enough experience with #MDPI journals to judge that they have special ways of dealing with the peer review system. Not my cup of tea.
