We are looking for an Assistant/Associate Professor who is pursuing research into how the disruption of electrical function and/or mechanobiology contributes to human pathologies, and in particular cardiac disorders. More info here:

The eduWOSM is our open source microscope for education and resource-limited settings. We now have a YouTube channel to explain what it is, what it can do, how it works, and how to work it youtube.com/channel/UCmOak4b…

Ok. This is an absolute #breakthrough and #tourdeforce by @steinaerts lab. Designing functional enhancers has been a dream of the scientific community for decades. Now AI fed with the right data cracked the cis regulatory code. Respect 🤠➡️🎩 – at Dresden, Germany

Excited to share the lab’s very first pre-print (!!) where we describe a new tunable hybrid hydrogel system and discover ECM-specific cues that regulate cardiac aging. Check it out!👇

Exactly why funding bodies like @ERC_Research should remove “academic age limits”
Many people take "non-traditional" career paths in academia. @Brixius_Simone, @mm5200, @MoeNeuro and I did! We wrote for @PLOSBiology about how non-linear careers are increasingly common, but funding agencies and search committees penalize these paths.

I often disagree with the approaches and conclusions from the Plachta lab. I usually discuss this in reviews. This paper is different though since many clinicians will read it and may adjust their practices. This could have real life consequences… 🧵
