Off to #Ento24 in Liverpool! Have set up this Bluesky feed to capture any posts containing #Ento24, and other insect molecular biology-related stuff. Not sure if Mastodon is cross-linked to be able to use Bluesky feeds or just posts, but advertising because why not?

I'll write a thread later, but for now, a huge congatulations to Hannah and to Bruno. I was really fortunate to be a part of this immense project, and it benefitted greatly from Hannah's systematic knowledge which she gained while generating https://reprosci.epfl.ch/ (which itself promises to be an epic reproducibility effort and community infrastructure for any #reproducibility work).

Hey #Drosophila Mastodon, I'm looking to make a Gal4 enhancer trap for Gal4 expressed under endogenous promoter. How would you go about this in 2024?

PhD studentship to characterise aphid immune evolution. Lots to uncover in an insect group with major ecological & economic impact. Aphid systemic immunity is a black box. The interested PhD candidate will both provide one of the first detailed descriptions of aphid immunity, but also uncover principles of immune evolution.
