For four days I was an event reporter in science and sex differences especially 💜💚 at EMBL Advanced training centre, Heidelberg. The conf was incredibly precisely on time, included vegetarian day (yay!) #EESSexDifferences @EMBLEvents Thank you all, including the organisers!

A single dose irradiation by X-rays harms female cells differently. And Ayse Yigit studies in Gdansk why. Ask her tomorrow 👍 @EMBLEvents #EESSexDifferences

Daniel Ruiz-Gabarre looks like a magician. And he nearly is! Trying to reveal of sex differences in Arp11p knockout rats! #EESSexDifferences @embl

#EESSexDifferences continues with even-number session and Allan Zhao from Karolinska Institutet presents how Type 1 diabetes affects female offspring. Well, bad news for girls, but great job, Allan! 💪 @emble

Shashikant Patel studied mechanisms of sex differences in vascular dementia during his PhD, but now he is looking for postdoc position 🤤 #EESSexDifferences @emble

This week has been a big one for sex differences research 🎉 Yesterday, #EESSexDifferences participants explored the immunological control of host physiology with keynote speaker Yasmine Belkaid (Institut Pasteur, France). And there’s more to come! See you later for poster session 2 and the conference party! 🥂

"Cell painting is much more sensitive method to track the effects of sex hormones on the drug-response than just viability assay" says Torkild Visnes from Trondheim 🎨 good luck, Torkild! @EMBLEvents #EESSexDifferences

Fingers crossed 🤞 Rayyan Gorashi with a great support of Brian Aguado from University of California, San Diego! 💚💜 🫀 ... although I like cardiomyocytes a little more 🙃 #EESSexDifferences @EMBLEvents

And look how it works! Kenan Krakovic is looking for a colab or a wise advice 🔝 @EMBLEvents @embl #EESSexDifferences

Meet the speakers (Elizabeth Rideout, Agnesa Loda) and and editors (Kerstin Brachhold from Wiley) Thank you all! 😄 #EESSexDifferences @EMBLEvents @embl

@embl @EMBLEvents offer labels for posters. Do you want to share your research? Are you hiring now or looking for a PhD position? Use them, so we can spread the info 💚💜 #EESSexDifferences

Welcome to Day 1 of the EMBO | EMBL Symposium 'Sex differences in health and disease'! 🎉🧬 We’re off to a great start with a keynote lecture by Arthur Arnold (University of California, USA) on the general theory of sexual differentiation. Looking forward to an inspiring week at #EESSexDifferences. Stay tuned! 👀
