We are looking for a postdoc for an ERC funded project at @albertpol.bsky.social Lab at @idibaps.bsky.social in Barcelona. Do you want to use 3D #epithelioids to study the role of lipid droplets against bacterial infections? Come and join us!👇 www.clinicbarcelona.org/uploads/medi...

What are 26 different Rab GTPases doing on Lipid Droplets? Are lipids transferred by membrane contact sites? Moving the FAT: Emerging roles of Rab GTPases in the regulation of lipid droplet contact sites M Alonso @albertpol.bsky.social and Harriet P Lo www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I am appalled by the ASM's decision to remove DEI content from their website. Here is my email to the American Society for Microbiology, @ASM.org asking them to put everything back as it was. If you are an ASM member, please consider writing them.

Looking for a PostDoc? Exciting science and great city! Join us @albertpol.bsky.social @albertherms.bsky.social in @idibaps.bsky.social Barcelona to work in an @ercresearch.bsky.social funded project to study how lipid droplets attract and kill bacteria. www.clinicbarcelona.org/uploads/medi...
