Our paper on TCBE-Umax is out in @natbiomedeng.nature.com! We developed these high-efficiency cytosine base editors for zebrafish, enabling rapid functional testing of disease variants. This work is led by a talented scientist, Wei Qin. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We have two funded postdoctoral positions available. Topics encompass: -Next gen light-sheet fluorescence microscopy instrumentation -Structured illumination microscopy and other approaches to extend the resolution limit. -Nonlinear microscopy combined with adaptive optics / phase conjugation

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

We are hiring a Visiting Assistant Professor in Neuroscience for the 26-27 school year at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, with an emphasis on teaching Neuroanatomy for our undergrad Neuroscience major. More info: jobs.hope.edu/postings/5034 Please share! #neuroscience #neurosky #neuroskyence

If you are a scientist funded by NIH and agree that if the HHS/NIH bill is held hostage by linkage for funding to DHS/ICE, we need to shutdown both and save lives, its time to speak up. Right now, with a few exceptions, the silence is deafening

"Why is it so normal for law enforcement — those who are supposed to be keepers of law and order — to kill Americans? And why is the only question at the end of the day how much their victims deserved to die?" Read more from @sarahjeong.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

They kill. They lie. They repeat.

No science or nature today. ICE just murdered another person in my home state, an ICU nurse working with vets & now they're trying to frame him for the action . All because ICE is angry & afraid of the 50000 Minnesotans who marched yesterday. If you're not calling Congress you're letting them down

Keep calling to make sure it stays dead!! 5calls.org

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov regarding the LHHS minibus, as a VA constituent, I urge you to consider restricting multi year funding of NIH grants to 2024 levels instead of 2025. VA scientists cannot withstand another massive cut to the number of grants awarded. #SaveTheNIH #neuroSkyence

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Fascinating work in @nature.com from Alex Pollen lab using CRISPRi screening to identify key transcription factors driving human radial glial neural stem cell fate—with causal validation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thanks so much for voting to send Americans' hard-earned tax dollars to the agency that is currently in the streets of American cities terrorizing, kidnapping, assaulting and murdering us. I'm sure everyone appreciates your investment in the fascist brute squad. Great work.

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so. How far we have not come in 250 years.

Anyone in the U.S. got an ERK biosensor zebrafish line they'd be willing to share/ship to VA? vascular specific would be preferred, but I'll take global too. @zebrafishrock.bsky.social

We’re delighted to see this out today! Latest work from the lab reveals insights into the evolution of brain immunity and the developmental and evolutionary plasticity of lymphatic endothelial cells. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

So excited to see Yasmin’s beautiful paper is finally out! We hope this tool will be useful for everyone studying stereocilia bundles (including companies developing gene therapies). I fantasized about having an AI tool like this when I was a grad student. All the code and data is open source.

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for. My story:

New from the lab: we report the development of our glutamine biosensor, iGlo, and use iGlo to study spatial and temporal dynamics of glutamine metabolism. Plasmids are being deposited with Addgene!

Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.

That they expect fidelity to a person and not the constitution/country which public servants work for is a big tell on them.

Your kid’s not going to imprint on Harry Potter like a baby duckling if their first exposure to REAL books is Stephen King’s Eye of the Dragon.

JD Vance proclaims that all federal police enjoy "absolute immunity" from prosecution for any crime. In other words, Vance is giving the go-ahead for DHS and others to murder anyone, at any time, and without cause, due process, or regard for the safety of others. www.cbsnews.com/video/jd-van...

At least 33 people have died in ICE custody in the last year. 2 US citizens were shot and killed by ICE officers in just the last two weeks. Up to 4000 people detained by ICE are unaccounted for. If what ICE was doing was legal, they wouldn’t be lying to protect them from accountability.

We are hiring a Visiting Assistant Professor in Neurobiology in the Biology Department at Colby! See the ad here: apply.interfolio.com/179919. I can try to answer any questions that interested folks might have, and please share if you know someone who might be interested! 🧪 🧠📈 #NeuroJobs

Tubulin controls the number of microtubules!

This is not a bad apple, this is not a rogue ICE officer, this is what ICE is, this is who they all are, this is who they are encouraged to be.
