Nicole Hammer @nicolehmr.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Lust etwas über Bienenforschung zu lernen? 🐝🧬🔬 Zusammen mit meinen Kolleginnen zeigen wir Euch wie wir mittels moderner Gentechnik den Zusammenhang zwischen Genen, Gehirn und Verhalten erforschen. Kommt vorbei. Heute in einer Woche. Schadowplatz Düsseldorf, Stand 10. Wir freuen uns auf euch! 🐝 011
Nicole Hammer @nicolehmr.bsky.social · 14/07/2026New publication!🐝 Using a genetically encoded chemogenetic system, our study suggests an inhibitory role of dsx+ cells of age-dependent retinue behaviors and establishes an unexplored connection between polyethism and its manifestation in the nervous system. Congrats!👏🏼 www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...pnas.orgInhibitory modulation of age-dependent behavior through dsx-expressing cells in honeybees | PNASSocial insects exhibit distinct age-dependent behavioral repertoires that collectively contribute to the common benefits of a colony.

Nicole Hammer @nicolehmr.bsky.social · 23/12/2025🐝 New publication 🐝 Our lab's new article, "The fru gene specifies male cooperative behaviors in honeybee colonies", is now available online on Nature Communications. It combines the expertise of various research groups - congrats on the great work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...nature.comThe fru gene specifies male cooperative behaviors in honeybee colonies - Nature CommunicationsHow the nervous system controls social behaviours of bees is poorly understood. This study finds that social feeding of male honeybees is hardwired into the nervous system by the fruitless (fru) gene,... 010
Nicole Hammer @nicolehmr.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Last week I participated in a science communication seminar hosted by @nawik.de. It was really insightful and fun! Let’s see when and where I can take all the information into practice. 💬🔬 010
Nicole Hammer @nicolehmr.bsky.social · 09/10/2025I presented our research group “Evolutionary Genetics” to the new Biology Master's students of @hhu.de - a chance to share what we’re working on and to motivate students to participate in our module or to consider our group for their thesis.🐝 #honeybee #evolutionarygenetics #research 042
Nicole Hammer @nicolehmr.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Today marks the beginning of a new chapter as I step into my new role as a PhD candidate in the lab of Prof. Dr. Martin Beye @hhu.de! 🎉 I am thrilled to join this wonderful team and contribute to the understanding of the evolution and genetics behind cooperative behavior in honeybees. 🐝 241
Nicole Hammer @nicolehmr.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Addressing misconduct in science is vital for maintaining trust and integrity. Although I’ve been fortunate not to experience it personally, I'm aware of the problem and believe speaking up is essential to create a safer, more respectful environment for everyone. youtu.be/n5nEd600iM0?...youtu.beHow Germany's elite research institution fails young scientists | DW DocumentaryYouTube video by DW Documentary 050
