Different lab, different continent, different species — same curiosity 🇯🇵 The extensive PDH-ir arborization pattern of a male Sieboldius albardae dragonfly 🐉🪰. The projections are color coded from anterior (blue) to posterior (yellow). Drosophila brain for scale. #FluorescenceFriday Detail images 👇

Our latest research is published in @plosbiology.org Development is not just about keeping time—it is also about correcting timing errors. (1/6) journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Biologist Angelica Coculla is researching the internal circadian clock of fruit flies. A recent paper published in the journal Science shows that the insects can reset their internal clock through their behaviour. With the molecular rhythm, the sleep-wake cycle returned. #Biology

Join us!! Ask experts on how to promote health and get better sleep by strengthening your circadian rhythms. We are celebrating the inaugural World Circadian Day on June 24 by holding an "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit 🌍 🌎 🌏 👏 #SRBR #CSC #ACS #InSC #EBRS #CSBR #JSC #CCBM #biologicalrhythms #sleep

Collaborative paper within @microclockerc.bsky.social #ERCSyG accepted! I look forward to seeing this work online soon in @natcomms.nature.com! #Paper151 #Fellowshipoftherings #ChronoMicrobiology 🎯 cc @antdodd.bsky.social @borfebor.bsky.social @marthamerrow.bsky.social @xinmingxu.bsky.social

One year anniversary of our third #ERCSyG interview that led to @microclockerc.bsky.social We are privileged to work on chronomicrobiology in the next 6 years and explore the time keeping mechanism in Bacillus subtilis together with @marthamerrow.bsky.social and @antdodd.bsky.social

Postdoc on microfluidics of plant - bacteria interaction Background in microfluidic device fabrication and application of such systems to dissect a biological process Experience with plant or bacterial cultivation in microfluidic devices is advantageous www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/vacancies...

PhD candidate on molecular details of plant-bacteria clock interactions Background in plant-microorganism interaction, specifically on molecular microbiology of bacteria, preferably experience with genetic engineering of model bacteria and microscopy www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/vacancies...

We have two new positions, a PhD and a Post doc at #InstituteofBiologyLeiden within our @microclockerc.bsky.social #ERCSyG project to discover interaction of #circadianclocks between Bacillus subtilis and Arabidopsis please share these with your network! 🙏 links below👇 [1/3]
