WORK: our Bionanoscience department at TU Delft is looking to hire an Assistant Professor in Biophysics of Living Systems. Apply! Deadline 30 July careers.tudelft.nl/job/Delft-As... RT=nice

The extent of the IF obsession is evident from any and every Google search for a journal - even venues that don't warrant one. This literally makes or breaks journals - non-profits are hit particularly hard - and it stifles innovation and distorts science. 2/2

Hi #membrane folks! This is today, last talks to close this academic year's trafficking seminar season :) 👇

From Segmentation to Pipelines: AI-Assisted Bioimage Analysis with Python 21-24 September 2026, Erasmus MC Rotterdam (The Netherlands) Application deadline: 25 July 2026 More information & signing up: courses.microscopie.nl?event_id=527

Membrane Trafficking Seminar series returns with two talks on how membranes organise, move, and shape cellular life. Final session until September! Join @felixmendu.bsky.social @franbottanelli.bsky.social and me for an afternoon of cell biology at its best. felixcampelo.wixsite.com/membranetraf...

”Overall, the group’s trajectory is considered very good with respect to its scientific contributions, even he should diversify more the journals where he publishes his studies and not focus in @elife.bsky.social, a journal with a peculiar evaluation process in which he is senior editor.” 😭🙈

If you like podcasts about math and science, I hope you'll check out The Joy of Why, which I cohost with my pal @jannalevinastro.bsky.social. Our first guest is the wonderful Jennifer Doudna, who discusses RNA, the CRISPR gene-editing mechanism, and her rebellious streak. youtu.be/T1SzNRElup0?...

Thermo Fisher now has a page up in response to our observations. They flatly deny that images were manipulated or fabricated while repeating that images were "optimized for presentation and clarity on the website", no lie, six times. www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/l...

Holy smoke--Thermo Fiasher stonewalling after being caught re-handed. How does copying and pasting bands fit into optimized for presentation and clarity???

@sholtodavid.bsky.social Have you seen this WB from ThermoFisher? Still anti-p53 antibody, but another clone (MA-12648 instead MA5-12557). It also looks like that the band in lane 3 was rotated and reused in lane 4. Moreover, it seems that same band was used for the 2 different clones.

After so many #notthecover one of @probablycarmen.bsky.social of a CAR T cell engaging with a cancer cell made it to the front of @embojournal.org! Want to know more about the function of protrusions in early #Tcell activation? Check out how we became accidental immunologists!

What membrane properties do cells maintain through regulation of lipid metabolism? In a new paper, we identify intrinsic curvature stress as one such parameter and show how different (eukaryotic) cell types employ different lipids to do that www.cell.com/cell-reports...

My postdoc work with @pcusachs.bsky.social is finally out! We find that fibrillar adhesions play an important role regulating the timescales of nuclear mechanotransduction. You can read all about it here : www.nature.com/articles/s41563-026-02590-x Huge thanks to everyone involved!!

On April 19, 1898, Camillo Golgi first described what we now call the Golgi apparatus - a structure so striking and unusual that it took more than 50 years for scientists to accept it wasn’t just an artefact. April 19 is #GolgiDay! Celebrate the cell’s most iconic and best organelle.

Yeey! Very happy to have joined the department! Great place, great people, great science! (now I'll need great funding 😂)

How did eukaryotic cells get their Golgi, endosomes, lysosomes and other endomembrane compartments? We show that endomembrane evolution depends on long periods of neutral molecular exploration, punctuated by sudden leaps. New preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
