Join our lab - its the last week to apply for this position to work on new imaging techniques of mycorrhizal fungi together with @Kokkoris_Vas @MerlinSheldrake and T. Shimizu @_amolf
https://t.co/c2wvb1iyOa
Do you have experience in microscopy, image analysis, fluid dynamics, network theory, electrophysiology, and/or machine learning? Join us as we track the flows & structure of mycorrhizal networks. We have a biophysics post-doc position open in Amsterdam https://t.co/c2wvb1j6DI

Four-legged animals (the tetrapods) heavily rely on sounds to communicate with others. In our new preprint we used phylogenetic methods to study the tempo and mode of vocal evolution across frogs, birds and mammals: https://t.co/hURzRZFeli 🐸🐭🐦

Excellent scientific detective work by @ALIFE_VU fungal researcher @Kokkoris_Vas and team: They made the amazing discovery that the model species in AMF research produces dimorphic spores! Next questions are WHY, HOW and WHEN?

De klimaatbeloftes van olie- en gasbedrijven zijn een wassen neus. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek dat @VUamsterdam klimaatwetenschapper @BlondeelMathieu samen met twee Japanse wetenschappers uitvoerde naar de klimaatstrategie van de fossiele industrie.
