Barcelona has been amazing both in terms of research learnings and meeting people, but also finding Gauri’s lizzie! (Or dragon!?)

Happy to be visiting the lab of Aurora Ruiz-Herrera & learning more about #3Dgenomics from Laia Marin Gual & the group at UAB Barcelona for the next couple of weeks! Thanks to the SNSF SPARK grant awarded to Kay Lucek. Rainy & spring weather in Barcelona reminds me of home (Bengaluru) 🌸

Terrific talk by @cedricfeschotte.bsky.social on his visit to our department at the University of Neuchâtel! #TE #transposableelements #genomics #genetics

Terrific Darwin lecture by Katie Peichel last night! The informality of this great set up would prolly be more appreciated by Wallace 😉 #Biology25

Congratulations @abhishek11.bsky.social on winning the Zoology Prize from the Swiss Zoological society!! #Biology25

On a Science-ey 📝, we at the Biodiversity Genomics lab (biodiversity-genomics.ch) are organising a 2 day conference on all things do with holocentric #chromosomes! If you study species with #holocentric chrs, register & join us! @camillecornet.bsky.social @pescuer.bsky.social #evolution #biology

I was thrilled to see the Bombay Natural History Society's exhibits! Seeing a child checking each segment of the natural history of birds warmed my heart. ♥️ We need to expose Indian children more & more to nature & #biodiversity! #naturalhistory #wildlife #nature

Say hello to the Bengal Monitor lizard (Varanus bengalensis) from Nagarhole National Park in Karnataka, India. #reptiles #lizards

Academic life has taken me to different countries, so visiting home each year is special!! Exploring #Bijapur #karnataka #india

Snow & Sun here in Bern. Travelling to work on the train & simply can’t get over how the entire landscape is covered with snow ❄️🤍
