Friday shoutout time! This week’s congratulations go to Jan Lenc, our former student, now thriving as a PhD at University of Florida. His manuscript has been accepted in Insect Conservation and Diversity! Work is about ants during day and night in tropical forest. Keep tuned.
The Czech Academy of Sciences has a new Program to support the return or recruitment of outstanding scientists from abroad. Who is eligible: • not employed in the CZ, • abroad for at least 2 years, • will have a minimum of a 0.6 FTE, • holds a Ph.D. for no more than 12 years

V poslední době se dost mluví o promarněném potenciálu plynoucím z nedostatečného zastoupení žen např. ve STEM. Promarněný potenciál české vědy způsobený absencí vědců a vědkyň, kteří nezdědili byt, bude ale dost možná ještě větší.

Our new Nature Communications paper shows that caterpillars are NOT safer in temperate regions as believed, if we consider also predation in forest canopies. tinyurl.com/catexNC1and tinyurl.com/catexNC
Friday (soon to be) lab news — we are thrilled!
Huge congrats to Jakub Pawlik for securing funding for his new project in the Belledonne mountain range, exploring how elevation and warming shape spider communities.

We are back from the conference. It is Friday ... and our new paper just went online! 🎉 The results of the work indicate substantial sub-canopy warming in Southeast Asia, posing potential risks for tropical biodiversity. The work is now out in Geophysical Research Letters.
Opening #ECTE2026 by public talk given by Bea Maas. Thankfull I can be here with my GTÖ community.
This week’s lab highlight looks back at the Zoological Days. For our attending students, it was a great opportunity to share ideas, reconnect with colleagues, and celebrate zoology. 🎓Contratulations to Jakub Pawlik for his award for a great poster. 🏆 multitrophicinteractions.blo…

Few year ago, I drew this on the first page of a new notebook, then 2 years later I swapped the letter to BABE and got the BABE ERC project. New book, new picture ... similarly stupid one

Občas vám vadí, že jenom hejtujeme každou změnu, která ve VaVaI přijde. A tak jsme zkusili vyrobit i něco pozitivního a sepsali jsme Teze pro českou vědu, aneb co si myslíme, že čeští vědci, vědkyně a vědecké instituce potřebují k úspěšnému rozvoji. Enjoy!

Mně se hrozně líbí, že Fiala shodil definitně rukavice a mluví o Babišovi zcela otevřeně...
"Jemu nezáleží na lidech (...) když to tady špatně dopadne, tak se sebere a odjede na svůj zámeček do Francie."
Jakože wow!👏

V Brně za mnou přišla slečna, pro kterou není SPOLU „srdcová volba“. Přesto nás nakonec bude volit, protože její političtí favorité nemají šanci porazit hnutí ANO. Děkuji jí za toto rozhodnutí.
Nemusíte nás nutně milovat, abyste si nás nakonec vybrali ve volbách. Myslete na to, prosím! Jen silné SPOLU má šanci odstavit ANO od moci. Moc děkuji!
