🌍🧬 For food security, against cystic fibrosis: As part of its SPIRIT programme, the #SNSF is funding 13 projects by international #research teams with six million francs. SPIRIT fosters scientific collaboration with developing countries.
Katrin Milzow and Thomas Werder Schläpfer have been the new co-directors of the #SNSF since 1 April.
Their priority is to ensure effective, innovative and agile Administrative Offices that work in partnership with the #Research Council to promote research excellence based on proven funding principles, such as competition, quality and independence.
In this way, the SNSF will bolster research in #Switzerland and help it respond to the major challenges facing society.
A closer look at the #SNSF’s new evaluation procedure and #CV format and how they impact proposal evaluations. Key findings and recommendations from CultureBase, SIRIS Academic and Different Angles in the final report!

People in precarious situations don't always have a right to participation and self-determination – this was shown by the National Research Programme “Welfare and Coercion” (NRP 76). The concluding event took place in the presence of Federal Councillor Beat Jans.
#Phosphorous is a limited #resource and yet there is too much of it in our waterways. Researchers supported by the #SNSF reveal why it is missing from our soils and how long people have been using it for. https://www.snf.ch/en/TzU1Cbw6QN5ikO3a/news/phosphorous-too-much-in-lakes-too-little-in-the-soil

I study #immune #evolution, including host - #pathogen interactions. My work has focused on #antimicrobial #defense #peptides which are like #antibiotics coded by the #genome . A key focus is #immunity-#microbiome interactions 🦠
New PP: https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.12.23.521774
I also talk ethical publishing and advancing the conversation on #preprint, #openscience, and #academicchatter.

I wrote this (part of a larger piece) exactly a year ago, on the eve of my own #SNSF starting grant submission.
Today I'm thinking of everyone who's submitting tomorrow for this year's round! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Here you are: One last push and it's done. Then comes the waiting. You got this!
