BTW. Whoever thought that the graphics design of the Woodstock of Biology visuals reminds of something from the Mellow Collie and Infinite Sadness, it's because I wanted our visuals to give that feeling 🙂

Za Zimou a Kralickovou vypada jako dalsi mozny adept na pozici rektora Krystoufek, prorektor pro vedeckou a tvurci cinnost z tymu rektorky. Ted ma ambice vest celou univerzitu. Jeho tri priority jsou napsane slusnym akademickym newspeakem:

Zima se pro funkci rektora dokazal domluvit na vetsi podpore z fakult nez soucasna rektorka. Znamena to, ze Kralickovou fakulty odepsaly a chteji nejaky deal se Zimou? Rektorka zaroven (a jeji tym je v tom s ni) univerzitu opakovane zesmesnila a problem Campusu Albertov jde i za rektoratem.

The Argonautes 2025 - we made a special gift for participants - a card set with 32 different Argonautes + an extension pack with four Nobel prize winners from the small RNA field. Mello, Fire, Ambros & Ruvkun as jokers :-) #argonautes2025

Argonautes are coming :-) ... soon at @imgprague.bsky.social ... finishing preparations. Still missing a few things like drums, guitar, badges, beer ... but it's under control. I think. I hope. :-))

REMINDER: The registration deadline for ARGONAUTES 2025 is 31/7. It won't be extended. So, if you want to join us in Prague for the most important 🫣 Argonaute & RNA silencing meeting of the year, you have one week left!

Actually, I tried to negotiate with them for the RNA Society meeting in Prague in 2017 to make an edition of labels with higlighted RNA letters for us and they refused because of registered label design and associated paperwork. So, one has to rely on photoshop (above) or a masking tape :-)
