My first work from my postdoctoral research in @WagnerEvolution at the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies, @UZH_en, is now available as a preprint.

If like me you've run hundreds of minipreps but never bothered to read up on why they extract plasmid but not chromosomal DNA, a recent tweet by @joel_rosenbaum finally motivated me to look it up. From Biennium and Doly 1979:

Facing New Heights!: Last week we took a team trip to neighboring canton Schwyz.
We were able to take a step back from the usual day-to-day business, reset, and nourish our team relationship. Now we are back and as fresh as a daisy! 🌼

I would like to invite all students to apply for the first International Directed Evolution Competition 2021! @iDEC2021 @EdinburghUni
Teams will compete in the tracks of molecular, pathway or genome directed evolution with a focus on methods or output.
idec.io – at Heidelberg, Germany

Interested in directed evolution? Check out the @iDEC2021 comp for students (undergrad, masters, high school) to compete in teams on projects in 1/3 tracks: enhancing molecules, optimizing pathways or designing new strains.
PhD students & postdocs can sign on as advisors too!
