#EPIMAR2025 - beautiful place @Institut de Ciències Del Mar @Barcelona, great people, open community, fascinating research 🧬 🌎 🧪 🥼 🐟 🪸 🌊

This master student teaches me so much! She’s on the job market. Skills include #ecology #evolution #wildlife #bioinformatics #fieldwork #molecular #labwork and #modeling, an insane amount of curiosity, and an incredible ability to teach herself using available and new resources. >Marion Meli<

First data discussions on the huuuuge experiment that will teach us a lot about inducible variation & heritability. #adaptation #maternal #inheritance #environment #RNAseq #oocyte

The afternoon is spent researching the literature on the ethics of #epigenetics, public perception and education, medical applications etc. The shared @mendeley_com library and the whiteboards start to fill up!

…but what do participants think about #epigenetics? #Rigiworkshop2024 who catches the hedgehog shares their view!

@SteinerLab provides their perspective on epigenetics, from a basic science viewpoint.

First round of introductions: GO! #Rigiworkshop2024

Big thanks to the sponsoring societies: @LS2Switzerland #swissplantscienceweb #samw @SwissSgv #sgpw

Accompanying 🦔 is sceptical about the slides.

Ready for three days of teaching, discussing, learning #epigenetics in the Swiss mountains! @scnatCH #rigiworkshop #interdisciplinary 🌱 🐭 🪱 🦋 🧬

Meet the future heads of the wildlife division at the Fish and Wildlife Health institute Bern! Mirjam Pewsner and Simone Pisano will join and share expertise across species, sectors, and research areas to strategically develop wildlife health & surveillance in a changing world, starting August 2024!

Congratulations to @jessrieder.bsky.social who successfully defended her PhD thesis on #aquaculture #microbiome #metagenomics last friday!

#MarineLife 🦑 beach perspective.
Also testing this „adding to a feed“ thing.

Bluesky versus Twitter: which jellyfish are these? East atlantic, French coast.

Shoutout to amazing #women who normalize rocking #science (2nd place talk prize) AND #motherhood. Proud of Stephanie Borel at GEEFSM. #wildlife #lynx #management
