Registration is now open for early-career researchers to apply for a funded place at our Workshop on Revisiting Metabolic Fundamentals, organised by @lydfinley& @WilhelmPalm. Find out more and apply at https://t.co/oBmoEsHATn #BiologistsWorkshops

A recent survey of nearly 900 postdocs at the Max Planck Society reveals: 🔹 28% show signs of severe depression 🔹 25% struggle with severe anxiety 🔹 More than half oppose contract caps that force them out after 4–6 years 🔹 International researchers (75% of the cohort) face

📢 Careers @ANRF #ANRFIndia invites applications from eligible candidates for various contractual positions. Interested individuals may find detailed information at https://t.co/idY7kzxDTY Applications can be sent to: admn-serb@nic.in #ANRFIndia #CareerOpportunity #Hiring

Our study on endothelial mechanics made the news! 🤩 https://t.co/twnA6hQyb8

Thank you for the opportunity @unige_en one of a kind experience! Highly recommend ☀️☀️ @EMBO

Last call for abstracts 👇 Join us at the 8th PostDoc Day @sciences_UNIGE @UNIGEnews

Don’t miss the exciting sessions of the postdoc day: 🪴 Plant organ morphogenesis – Prof. Charlotte Kirchhelle 🖨️ 3D printing of medical devices – Prof. Jean-Christophe Leroux @ETHGeneDelivery 🧠 How do single bacterial cells think? – Prof. Erik van Nimwegen @NimwegenLab

Thank you very much to our sponsors, as their support make this event possible: University of Geneva, Spirochrome,Merck , proteintech, Brunschwig, Pangas, Microsynth, Carl Roth and Agrisera @sciences_UNIGE @spirochrome @merckgroup @Proteintech @pangas_ch @carlrothgmbh @agrisera

🚨 Last week to submit abstracts for talks and posters! Show your research, win prizes & enjoy surprises 🎉 Register here: ‘’ https://t.co/qqcxsYGSvx ‘’

Did you know the cell wall of mycobacteria isn’t just for protection? 👀 Here, Mycobacterium marinum sheds its outer capsule right after being eaten by Dicty! A sneaky move that affects even nearby cells… #FluorescenceFriday #Mycobacteria #CellBiology #Infection #3Rmodels

Being a postdoc is wild, you can: – Teach a PhD how to pipette -“Interesting, it broke in a new way this time” – Fix a $500k microscope – PI: “Sorry just saw this” (sent 3 months ago) – Present at a conference on 1 hour of sleep – Cry in 3 languages! #postdoclife #Science

Today, 166 years ago Alexander von Humboldt died (he was 89 years). He changed the way we think about nature (describing it as a web of life) & predicted climate change. Can't believe it's been 10 years since I published 'Invention of Nature'. It's change my life. In so many ways

Quentin Vagne @QuentinVagne is the one behind this beautiful image. 🧠📷Vice-president of the APDU and a physicist obsessed with self-organization principles, he's fluent in single-cell motion, morphogenesis and apéros. 📷#SelfOrganization #Biophysics #ScienceLife

Two cells, one twist 🧬🔁 Myosin asymmetry breaks mirror symmetry & sparks spontaneous 3D rotations in doublets. Adherens junctions🩶, focal adhesions🟢 & actomyosin🔴 Biology meets active matter physics. #CellPolarity #Fluorescencefriday #ActiveMatter #Microscopy

This stunning image was made by @AC_Almeida_ , our brilliant President and microtubule enthusiast! She's passionate about how the cytoskeleton organizes itself in 3D—seriously cool stuff! 🧠🧵✨#Microscopy #WomenInSTEM #Cytoskeleton @MoCel_Geneva

Behold: a human cancer spheroid! This 3D cell blob models solid tumors. DAPI (blue) marks nuclei, PI lights up the dead. Z-plane colors unveil a rainbow necrotic core wrapped in a moody, monochrome outer layer. #fluorescencefriday #microscopy #postdoc

Moreover, we will have short talks from Postdocs from Unige, Career session and Networking. See you there :) @unige_en @HubUnige @sciences_UNIGE

Very happy to announce that you can register for the next Postdoc Day, a one day event, that will be happening the 5th of June☺️😍 Three keynote speakers: Erik van Nimwegen @NimwegenLab , Jean-Christophe Leroux @ETHGeneDelivery and Charlotte Kirchhnelle 🦋 https://t.co/XXn3q0oPam

Thrilled to share that our light-sheet #microscopy image has been selected as @PLOSBiology's Featured Image for March 2025! This visualization captures the role of the sonic #hedgehog pathway in #feather morphogenesis. 🧬 Dive into the details: https://t.co/A7V3if8fj3
