At World Sponge Conference (@wscommunity.bsky.social) in Portugal, it beats in techno! 1/915 Sep 2025 12:00 +0000at://did:plc:ewgdnnzqmxq3pd23jbs5ttcx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyuqzkzw7c2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimfehl.bsky.social/post/3lxiuj5p7ps2gI missed that first-uni feeling of building tools, not just wiring them. Recently, one sparked against my pipeline, igniting my first open-source fix — written partly on my phone! 1/929 Aug 2025 01:05 +0000at://did:plc:ewgdnnzqmxq3pd23jbs5ttcx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxiuj5p7ps2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/kimfehl.bsky.social/post/3lwjp3aqqfk2cTook @nature Masterclasses course on peer review. Beyond best practices, it covered ethics, biases, confidentiality. Also discovered registered reports: design reviewed before results, with publication guaranteed after acceptance, positive or null. Feels like a promising approach!16 Aug 2025 15:35 +0000at://did:plc:ewgdnnzqmxq3pd23jbs5ttcx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwjp3aqqfk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/kimfehl.bsky.social/post/3ltfs3dlsrs2vI’ve always been more of a slow-life person — so in a way, life sciences suit me perfectly. Months of waiting for samples, equipment, or funding… In my case of 'dry biology', even when the data and servers are ready, I often find myself caught in cycles of overthinking and fine-tuning. 1/707 Jul 2025 22:03 +0000at://did:plc:ewgdnnzqmxq3pd23jbs5ttcx/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltfs3dlsrs2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimfehl.bsky.social/post/3lsoegauh4s2aI was genuinely hoping that a manuscript I reviewed would finally make it through to publication. In the past, my critiques either sent authors fleeing or convinced the editor to reject. But this time, having invested several hours in a thorough review, I was simply ghosted. 1/428 Jun 2025 14:27 +0000at://did:plc:ewgdnnzqmxq3pd23jbs5ttcx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsoegauh4s2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/kimfehl.bsky.social/post/3lrddivpfos2d“Certain issues in biological framing, conceptual clarity, and presentation reduce the strength of the conclusions” — should I be this strict when reviewing an MSc thesis? It was my first time, and honestly, it felt harder than reviewing a research paper. 1/611 Jun 2025 11:46 +0000at://did:plc:ewgdnnzqmxq3pd23jbs5ttcx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrddivpfos2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/kimfehl.bsky.social/post/3lrddf2lofk2dHey Bluesky! Bioinformatics, genomics, data science — I'm here to connect, explore, and collaborate. Stay tuned: soon I'll share more about my research on unique and ancient creatures: marine sponges!11 Jun 2025 11:44 +0000at://did:plc:ewgdnnzqmxq3pd23jbs5ttcx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrddf2lofk2d
