Many years ago, I wrote a sciencey Valentine's day post.
Here tis.

It's really really old. I'm getting that way.

Our research group (the Kolář lab at Charles University Prague) is opening two PhD positions in ecological genomics of convergent adaptation of plants.

(1) PhD in population genomics of repeated adaptation to whole genome duplication
(2) PhD in molecular basis of adaptation to toxic serpentine substrates

Rīt ir pēdējā diena, lai iesniegtu projekta pieteikumu un vienas konferences abstraktu. Tāpēc visai dabīgi, ka tā vietā, lai pie tiem strādātu, pašlaik pucēju dzīvokli. #PhD

🧵 1/ 🎉 So happy to share our latest work that I authored with my #PhD supervisor Amin Emad.

While #ChatGPT and #Claude are natural language models (#llms), computational biologists have been using protein language models (pLMs) which model protein sequences.

We discovered flaws in off-the-shelf pLMs and outline some solutions. So are pLMs worth the hype? 🤔

I'll go through our paper in this thread ⬇️

In unser Reihe "Frisch promoviert" stellen wir heute @TanjaSchreiber (auf dem Foto zwischen ROOTS-Sprecher Martin Furholt und ihrer Betreuerin @hennypiezonka von der @freieuniversitaet) vor. Sie hat am 22. Januar ihre Dissertation über Befestigungsanlagen von Jägern und Sammlern im Nordwesten Sibiriens (6200 v. u. Z. – 1800 u. Z. ) erfolgreich verteidigt. Was Tanja in ihrer Arbeit herausgefunden hat und was sie für die Zukunft plant: https://www.uni-kiel.de/de/cluster-roots/detailansicht/news/frisch-promoviert-tanja-schreiber
Wir sagen auf jeden Fall: Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Credibility in qualitative research relies not only on solid data but also on transparency and confirmability. Referential adequacy supports this by encouraging reflexivity, member checking, peer debriefing, and thick descriptions. These strategies help balance subjectivity, reduce bias, and make your work more reproducible.

Senza un cambio di passo radicale l'Italia si condanna a peggiorare qualità della #ricerca e dell'insegnamento #università. Non si può continuare a galleggiare grazie allo sfruttamento di chi fa ricerca e insegna.

È stato importante poterne discutere ieri con la Società Italiana di #ScienzaPolitica che ha organizzato una ottima iniziativa alla Scuola Normale Superiore a #Firenze.

La registrazione dell'iniziativa, è disponibile su Radio Radicale: https://www.radioradicale.it/scheda/780785/luniversita-in-discussione

Después de mucho tiempo libre dedicado a ordenar, re-analizar y ampliar; por fin he publicado la última parte de mi tesis en una revista científica. Es MDPI, pero tenía un cupón gratuito 🤷‍♂️ . Además, como ha sido en mi tiempo libre, no me han puesto pegas en meter a la asociación en la que estoy, iniciada en un principio para hacer pequeñas investigaciones con los amigos, aunque ha ido derivando en otras cosas.

Quizás me entretenga en algún momento en explicar de que va la cosa. Pero si sois curiosos, aquí el link: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/18/4/571

So in order to feel that today’s work day wasn’t completely wasted I signed 21 ‘research excellence letters’ that a colleague had shared with me whilst I was away from work. Turned out, as usual, to be the one of the most positive things I get asked to do.

Every year our best postgraduate researchers are nominated for this (cashless) prize by their doctoral examiners (the nominations are scrutinised by a committee) and if approved they get a letter telling them that we recognise their achievement and giving me the opportunity to wish them every success in their future career. The letters include the text used any examiners to justify their request for consideration for recognition of excellence (which are a fascinating snapshot of what excellence looks like across the disciplines).

I rarely get positive feedback from our postgraduate research community and wouldn’t expect to (except when I fix problems) so it is always amazing how well-received these letters are.
