Absolutely thrilled to have graduated yesterday with my PhD from @SETUIreland Thank you so much @denomeara for everything!! 😊❤️

🚨 We're hiring! 🚨 Our lab at the University of Málaga, Spain🇪🇸 is looking for a bioinformatician researcher for a postdoc position (1+1 years). Check the ad, and if you're interested, get in touch! 📅 Starting date early 2026, with some flexibility. 🙏Please, RT!

@denomeara @WITBiology Excellent poster Raysa, well done! 👏

📖Published📖 Mondanaro et al. present RRphylogeography, a package to find the area of origin of species, and to locate feasible zones of contact between species throughout their history 🌎 buff.ly/3EprITP

🦇Our new preprint introduces a high-throughput microarray-based approach to detect #bat IgG #antibodies against >190 human #pathogens. A leap forward for understanding #zoonotic diseases & pathogen surveillance! @CRCordeliers, @nmnhs, @BgSciencesBAS 🦠biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨PHD OPPORTUNITY!🚨 Join us in Newcastle University to assess carabid beetle ecosystem services and foraging ecology, and develop new methods for inferring interactions between beetles and their food! 🪲🍽️💻 iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/a…

Fully-funded PhD opportunity available with us between @QUBbioscience and @QUBCCE, part-funded by industry @niwnews "Safeguarding drinking water from problem aquatic species: development and application of emerging technologies" More details here: findaphd.com/phds/project/s…

Calling all parasite enthusiasts - we want your photos!! The ISP 2025 Calendar is in preparation and we look forward to receiving your entries. Please follow the guidelines outlined.

#EarlyView👀 80% of insect species are yet to be discovered and named; most are smaller, less abundant, found at fewer locations and often in taxonomically complex groups, than named species #OpenAccess #OriginalArticle⬇️ doi.org/10.1111/icad.1… @Royentsoc @WileyEcolEvol

#eDNA has been brought to a spectacular development during the last decade, but there are still some discussion about the term itself. If you want to know more about it make sure to read this article: bit.ly/4gaedFL #DNA #Science #Knowledge #research

New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻‍♂️ @WelchLab_UTSC @RSocPublishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

**Please share** When meeting with local communities about what science events they would be interested in one woman said she is over 65 so never got the chance to go into a science lab so would love to do that, even better if she bring her grandkids.

@I__Elsie Congratulations Elsie!! 🎉

For anyone interested in DNA barcoding or metabarcoding nematodes, here’s a new forward degenerate primer for CO1/COX1 barcoding that has increased species recovery and superior amplification compared to three commonly used nematode CO1 primer sets, by Ren et al. (2024). 👇 Ren et al. (2024). A single degenerated primer significantly improves COX1 barcoding performance in soil nematode community profiling. Soil Ecology Letters, 6(2), 230204. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Thinking of pursuing a PhD? Our team have two fantastic opportunites to research in Centre for Health Behaviour Research @SETU_Research and work on the Football Cooperative - a community-based physical activity programme for men Find out more here setu.ie/research-innov…

📢Excited to share our Culicoides study recently published (@BioMedCentral). We identified new species and documented flight periods, enhancing our understanding of virus vectors like bluetongue and EHDV. Big thanks to @mikel_heredia and all our colleagues for their leadership!
