Such wonderful news, this is so well deserved! All the best for this next step!

🔥 The event will bring together molecular biologists, evolutionary geneticists, and bioinformaticians to explore RIP’s role in transposable element control, genome integrity, and fungal adaptation.

Looking forward to seeing you in Neuchâtel! 🏔️ #RIPM2025 #FungalGenomics #EvolutionaryBiology

Barbara McClintock also spent some time working on fungi (Neurospora), so it is more than fair to keep on mentioning her

Honestly I am worried about the impact Trump policies will have on the future of third world PhD students who wants to do it abroad. Americans leaving for Europe will make the process even more harder for people coming from developing and underdeveloped nations.

It is similar in Switzerland, and beyond advertised positions, cold calls with a good letter of specific interest for a lab are possible as well. I liked that it is a job, not continuation of school. And as a plus, there are amazing mountain hikes and rock climbing on the weekends!

Could I be added as well, please? Thank you for doing this! I am a postdoc studying transposable elements and structural variation in fungi 🧬➰🍄 scholar.google.com/citations?us...

Thank you! And I agree, this project opened many more questions for me than I had at the start. Fungi are amazing!
