Wow, @nature has retracted the 2020 Poore et al. cancer microbiome paper that we showed (journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…) was deeply flawed. The retraction date is tomorrow so I can't yet read the official notice, but I'll update when I can @RetractionWatch@ProfBootyPhD

👨🚀 Meet @Raph_Astro! With a background in biomedical engineering and neuroscience, this new @esa astronaut from Belgium is ready to take science to the next level on his journey to the stars 🚀🔬
Read more about Raphaël here 👉 esa.int/Science_Exploration/…
🚀 Exciting news! 🚀
Congratulations to @Soph_astro and @Raph_Astro on being assigned to their first space missions!
They are set to fly to the International @space_station in 2026, with a high chance of a cosmic handover: Sophie will fly first 👩🚀🇫🇷, followed by Raphaël 👨🚀🇧🇪

Known to hobbyists as the Leopard Danio, TL or Tüpfel long fin #zebrafish consist of two alleles (leo and lof). Unlike ABs, TLs have inhibitory avoidance behavior as a result of decreased activity in their baseline hypothalamus-pituitary-interrenal (HPI)-axis. #ZebrafishFunFacts

A treasure chest of excellent insights into prepping for conferences by @ferencmueller in the closing talk of the 1st day, followed by an intense Q&A. We'll continue next Monday. Details: aquaculture.uni-mate.hu/en/a…#AdvSciCom24
The first day of our communication course is well under way. After the opening talk on Open Science by @mvargam, Judit Padisák discussed Ethics in Science. Currently, @KatalinSolymosi is talking about Diversity of Research Competencies. Excellent start. #AdvSciCom24
Thrilled to be one of the speakers on this #AdvSciCom24 course where I will talk about the importance of #diversity, #equity & #inclusion in science, in the context of the publish or perish culture, researcher #mentalhealth, and the need for reforming research assessment #CoARA
Please check out our recent perspective paper, “Pluripotency of a founding field: rebranding developmental biology.” A huge thanks to the 50 scientists who traveled to California to discuss the future of #DevBio and who contributed to this paper! 1/ journals.biologists.com/dev/…
📢 We are pleased to announce that upon many requests the Early Bird registration has been extended.
The new early bird registration and abstract submission deadline is April 21st, 2023. 📢
