I stumbled over article: Sex at birth is not always random — mum’s age and genetics can play a part. Wow, that is really interesting. ...but actually the study doesn’t look at the influence of male partners. Isn't that important??! www.nature.com/articles/d41... (with ref to the full paper)

Sex at birth is not always random — mum’s age and genetics can play a part
Families with three or more boys, for example, are more likely to have another boy than a girl as the next child.

Happy to see my Postdoc work out @natbiotech.nature.com. Using HaloTag and synthetic fluorophores instead of FPs enables us to shift the spectral properties of kinase activity reporters (KARs) to the far-red 🔬. Huge thanks to everyone involved @jinzhanglab.bsky.social! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hello science friends on bluesky! After many years of doing molecular biophysics and optics/microscopy, I just want to share that I'm leaving science and academia next month. I don't have concrete plans for my next step yet so I might just take a break for a while but we shall see how things go.

„Dítětem si zkazíte kariéru. Vážně si ho chcete nechat?“ řekl mi profesor
Obě patří k vědecké špičce, obě mají mezinárodní úspěch, obě dosáhly na nejcennější evropský ERC grant. Jedna má publikaci v Nature, druhá spolupracovala na publikaci v Science. Bioložka Kateřina Sam je matkou dvou dětí, chemička Hana Macíčková Cahová tří. V rozhovoru velmi otevřeně mluví o svých vědecko-mateřských zkušenostech. Často drsných, smutných i trapných.
