As she put it: “The video is a condensed summary of the main [#preprint] findings, sprinkled with some beautiful immunofluorescence images and behind-the-scenes from the lab. Just perfect for late-evening, productive doomscrolling 😊” [contains quote post or other embedded content]03 Mar 2026 11:57 +0000at://did:plc:b4zydb76askwqmzgufkfd5tu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg5pnqqils2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/reinierprosee.bsky.social/post/3m4flg5hqfk26I was asked to #PeerReview a timely perspective article now published in @jexpbiol.bsky.social. As a result of this activity, a tree was protected in the #ForestOfBiologists. 🌳 Such a fun, bio-positive and important initiative from @biologists.bsky.social 🙌 https://forest.biologists.com/landscape/?id=12305030 Oct 2025 08:50 +0000at://did:plc:b4zydb76askwqmzgufkfd5tu/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4flg5hqfk26https://bsky.app/profile/reinierprosee.bsky.social/post/3ltedjb5wbs2mSo grateful that my partner and I are able to share our parental leave. Today, my part starts! 🍼👨‍🍼 Couldn’t agree more with this piece that recently appeared on #BBCNews: ‘Two weeks of paternity leave is just too little for the 21st Century’! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20xy3nj833o.amp07 Jul 2025 08:09 +0000at://did:plc:b4zydb76askwqmzgufkfd5tu/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltedjb5wbs2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/reinierprosee.bsky.social/post/3lrfubfyce22eSuch important (and timely) work from Katelyn Cooper & team.

Amazing example of ways in which we can make science (+the joys of observing nature) more accessible.
