Dear students/postdocs, if you would like to join a lab, DO NOT wait for advertised positions. Just GET IN TOUCH with the PI! Many labs don’t advertise positions.

Popular opinion: Reviewers that come up with additional reasons to decline manuscripts after the first revision (that address their points) are just jerks!

I am so sad that “the leaders of the free world” keep hoarding vaccines or vaccinating kids who are not getting seriously ill, while India are struggling so much!!! I guess this is western style humanism?
Check out our latest review on selective

in plants (for selective
#autophagy
special issue): We reviewed the recent lit and proposed a framework for future studies. Please let us know what you think.
Love this idea! "A novel paradigm for expert core facility staff training" With great core facilities, (I) no need for huge labs (ii) no money wasted for PIs buying microscopes etc. (iii) we keep technically oriented people in academia.
Please RT‼️ Mendel Early Career Symposium Registration is open: Great speakers (8 more to be selected from abstracts), small size-perfect for networking & sharing your science in a friendly env. Please join us!!!
