Happy to announce that we have a new pre-print out. We analyzed the 16s microbiome profiling of two different Baltic cod poputions in the Eastern baltic sea 😀.

Gill-associated microbiome as indicators of population stress and condition in Eastern Baltic Cod
The skin microbiome contributes to host health by facilitating pathogen exclusion, priming the immune system modulation and maintaining skin homeostasis. We examined how the composition of the skin mi...

Team fish - we need your help! We are trying to build a database of all the fish chromosome-scale genomes where sex chromosomes have been identified. Have you build one or some? Do you know someone who has? Can you post the link in the comments? Please spread the word and repost! Thank you!

We're looking for a PhD student! If you're interested in #fungal #genomics & #TEs, meiotic drive, or pathogens, please consider applying. The project is about toxin/antidote genes in the human fungal pathogen A. fumigatus. uu.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

Inte nog med att fisket selekterade bort stor #torsk, låga syrehalter i delar av #Östersjön försämrar också torskens tillväxt.

Jag hoppas:

* Fiskestoppet fortsätter så länge det behövs
* Näringstillförseln minskar snabbare
* Torskens mat (strömming/skarpsill) säkras
* På fler syresättningsförsök
Torsken i Östersjön växer sämre vid syrebrist
För att beståndet ska kunna återhämta sig krävs ytterligare åtgärder mot övergödningen.

Had a great time at #FSBI2025 symposium in Belfast☘️ My #FSBIGreenTravel attempt of Uppsala-Belfast train trip ended up in a great adventure and now I have a story to tell. Besides, I got on time and had the chance to give my talk about my research on early life Baltic cod🐟 and meet nice people.

🧪 New studies show paying peer reviewers ~$250 speeds up reviews by 1-33 days without affecting quality. One journal saw acceptance rates rise from 48% to 53%. #AcademicSky
Publishers trial paying peer reviewers — what did they find?
Two journals embarked on efforts to compensate reviewers, with different results.

First field season of my PhD studying Swedish sand lizards (Lacerta agilis) 🦎 My work investigates epigenetic response in immune challenge experiments. Plenty more cool projects: hormones and coloration, microbiomes, egg incubation temperatures, telomeres
