Excited to share our work published in @NatureBiotech! We uncover and characterize a unique and highly versatile ancestral form of CRISPR-Cas12a (ReChb)! A big thanks to the whole team. 🧬 nature.com/articles/s4158… #SynBioLab @CICbioGUNE @IgorTascon @BeiselLab @FUNDELA1

In my publishing my first Spotlight article era ✨️ @BeiselLab

GPT-5 confirmed to confidently try to complete 11 tasks simultaneously then email you 6 months later explaining it’s had a mental breakdown

An academic is only as good as their supportive parents, asking uplifting questions like: - What do you study again? - What do you mean they don't pay you to publish? - How will you keep busy over the summer holidays? - Do you know how much more your sister makes?

Hip, hip, hooray! 🎉🎓 On June 10, Gianluca Prezza from #HIRI’s @WestermannLab successfully defended his doctoral dissertation. Congratulations, @prezzag! The HIRI family is celebrating with you. Read more: helmholtz-hiri.de/en/newsroom/ne…

Academia: Come on in! I'm a loophole in the universe where you can spend your days reading, thinking & studying crazy ideas. Nothing you try has to work or be useful, just have fun! Academics: no thank you we prefer boring safe projects with a high likelihood of being published

Re-reading your rejected manuscript

How about a "rejection" conference where the speakers just read the worst reviews that they ever got?

Did my parents write this?

A new paper titled “A comparative analysis of peptide-delivered antisense antibiotics using diverse nucleotide mimics” by #HIRI's @JoergLab has just been published in @RNAJournal. Congratulations to all authors! 👏@chandradhish @jakobjung @LBarquist @HoebartnerLab

Finally...

Let’s give a big round of applause to @UddhavAmbi, who successfully defended his dissertation. 👏 Congratulations, Uddhav! The #HIRI family is celebrating with you! 🎉 helmholtz-hiri.de/en/newsroom/ne…

you don’t get a PhD so people call you Dr. as a term of respect, you get a PhD so your coworkers (who also have PhDs) call you Dr. as a term of affectionate mockery

Congrats to Elise Bornet (@elise_bor) for winning an award at this year's #MosbacherKolloquium @GBM_eV for her poster "Single-cell analyses to dissect morphological heterogeneity in the gut commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron". Way to go! 🥳

Pre-PhD: I'm not that clever Post-PhD: I have a sophisticated grasp of precisely how stupid I am in multiple fields

Unpopular opinion? If a PhD student can't publish a single paper in 3-4 years, the problem isn't the student, it's the PI and advisory committee not doing their job properly.
