Dear All,

We would like to invite you to attend September’s Wageningen Evolution and Ecology Seminar (WEES) and Masterclass in-person!

The Seminar will take place on Thursday 28th September, 16:00-17:00 in Orion, B4044. This will be followed by drinks at The Spot and an opportunity to meet and have dinner with the Speaker (sign up for dinner with Suraj – suraj.hm@wur.nl).

The associated Masterclass will be from 13:00-15:15 in the Room Decision, Impulse. The masterclass provides a platform for insightful discussions and knowledge sharing. Dr. Aaron Vogan will have an engaging presentation, about his personal journey from PhD to team leadership and his experience coordinating multifaceted projects. Followed by a dynamic session where 6-7 PhD’s/Post-doc’s will have an opportunity to present their work, (mainly relating to genomics) for 4 minutes each, followed by a 10-minute interactive discussion involving the presenting students, and the audience, which will also include PI's who are interested to be part of the discussion. Registration is required for the Masterclass and you can sign up by emailing Suraj – suraj.hm@wur.nl

This will be a great event so please forward this information to anyone who could be interested!

Seminar: Voyage of the Starships: Horizontal gene transfer of giant transposons drives adaptation across fungi (September 28th 2023, 16.00h in Orion, B4044)

Dr. Aaron Vogan

Independent Researcher,

Institute of Organismal Biology,

Uppsala University, Sweden

Transposable elements in eukaryotic organisms are often regarded as “selfish,” typically providing only indirect benefits to their host organisms. A novel discovery in fungal genomes is the presence of Starships, which display characteristics of transposable elements and are believed to confer advantageous traits to their hosts at certain instances. During the seminar, Dr. Aaron will delve into the subject of Starships exploring their involvement in mobilizing into specific genomic sites and their role in multiple recent instances of horizontal gene transfers.

About WEES

WEES is an initiative of PhD students and postdocs at Wageningen University to organize a continuing series of stimulating seminars on contemporary topics in evolution and ecology. For this series we invite researchers from all over the world who have leading roles in their field. We aim to bring together different groups at Wageningen University using a variety of systems, but with a common interest in evolutionary and ecological questions. WEES is funded by graduate schools PE&RC, WIMEK, EPS, VLAG, and WIAS. 

Want to organise seminars yourself? Join WEES!

WEES is looking for new members! We aim for a broad and diverse range in topics and would like to welcome new members to help and include topics not represented yet. If you are curious, send an email to weeswageningen@gmail.com and join one of our meetings.

The implication that Jango is never silly? Fight me. Look at him twirl and drop and be like "chooooom" — die but with style, maybe?

i am being nice when i say this but being in a company of a cis gay dude who's the walking definition of "i love dicks and hate vaginas" is extremely exhausting

okay, i've had a moment to collect my feelings and,

this movie looks so unprofessional like...

blue light is being cast on her hair from the portal that is clearly not casting a blue light on the environment.

the creeper is backlit by a soft blue light, while this goober is clearly backlit by a harsh white light.

also, the whole thing is backlit! nobody has light on their face in this trailer!

even here, you can clearly see the light is behind everyone, but they are supposedly facing eachother!?

why does this look like this!? why even bother with live action actors when the whole movie is animated!? and don't even get me started on the animation.

there's nothing technically wrong with the models... but it all looks so "minceraft mobs if dey wur reel!!1!"

i swear i saw this same sheep render in, like 2015.
