@mirandalynchphd.bsky.social, Dirk Jäger, and I are organizing the @amermathsoc.bsky.social special session on Computational Biomedicine: New Frontiers in Methods and Applications at the @jointmath.bsky.social with exceptional speakers from mathematics, biology, and medicine.

We are delighted to announce the Strathclyde Optical Microscopy Course 2026 (SOMC26), taking place in Glasgow from 21st July – 30th July 2026! Please find more details at shorturl.at/xmUiZ and apply at shorturl.at/MxTlI. Deadline 16 January 2026.

The National Crystallization Center is hiring for two positions: a research scientist position focused on progressing our crystallization optimization projects, and a research support specialist to support operations of the Crystallization Center!

Come work with us at the National Crystallization Center! Housed in the vibrant research community of UB-HWI, we are looking for new coworkers to help us expand our structural biology offerings 💎🔬

Heyyyyy MEMBRANE protein people! We are running our (fairly rare) membrane screen in November, so get your reservations in! 🦠

Halloween logicals, still the best 10/31 venn

Cell and developmental biologists; This is well worth a read: Maik and Roberto synthesize work over decades to propose a provocative model of who mesenchymal cells migrate and shape tissues 🧪 Go for the cool Figures, stay for the deep insights

🤝 Foster an exchange of ideas between data scientists, experimental biologists, mathematical modelers and biophysicists interested in ML for cytoskeletal dynamics, cell migration and mitosis! Don’t miss out on this exciting NITMB workshop. Apply today at www.nitmb.org/cytoskeletal...

Great idea for the meeting starter pack! Helped me find many of the Structural Biology/Crystallography crowd I hadn't seen yet here on Bsky! Thanks! #crystallography #structuralbiology

Is it too early to see who is going to #SMB2025? As in, the annual meeting of Society for Mathematical Biology, in lovely Edmonton, Canada? Come on, peeps, let's go!!! @smbmathbiology.bsky.social #mathbio #mathematics Bonus if you stop by my poster...I will tell you a math joke!

I’m learning that preorders are now being filled, three weeks early! Hooray!

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

I will be watching a preview of "Counted Out" ahead of planning a proper math/art/education group screening www.countedoutfilm.com

Easily the most universally loved public executive in DC. Horrible.

Great to see this. And I'm not surprised at yet another evaluation that underscores just how important the #PDB is. @rcsbpdb.bsky.social

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Bioimaging and bioimage analysis friends, some help if you have 2-3 mins; for a paper, we're trying to estimate the number of biologists trained in open source software or tools in the last ~5 years. (1/2) #bioimaging #microscopy #bioimageanalysis

Absolutely this. And also cite the software you are using!!! The only way they can justify getting funding to maintain it is to demonstrate usage by the community

Delighted to announce that @erinweisbart.bsky.social and I have teamed up to create a new bioimage analysis video podcast called Ask Erin/Dear Beth - you can check it out at the link below! It will highlight common challenges in #bioimageanalysis, as well as our favorite solutions to them. (1/x)

Finally got the notice. Very sad day for the MOSAIC program that supported some of the most amazing scientists I know, as well as some of the awesome people on my lab.

✨✨ It's #glycotime for #HIV Env ✨✨ N-linked glycans modulate flexibility & MPER epitope exposure #glycotime Huge effort by @shehata92.bsky.social @lcasalino88.bsky.social with cryoET of Env in VLPs by @thevillalab.bsky.social & team 💪 Would love feedback! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🌍🔬 The ACA is doubling down on our commitment to science, collaboration, and advocacy. 🧪 Read our latest blog post to learn how we're taking action—and how YOU can get involved: bit.ly/4bMXKpq #structuralscience #Crystallography #STEMSupport #ResearchMatters #TogetherForScience

This entire thread is exactly what i needed.

Our lab is excited to hire a postdoctoral researcher to study the mechanisms that viruses use to ‘hijack’ TAM receptors in viral spread. We are looking for someone who is excited to learn new techniques and work in a highly collaborative team! Please share! unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/298...

Thank you BINA @bioimagingna.bsky.social for hosting this speaker series. Looking forward to hearing from this posse of super-talented scientists all in one place. @pracheeac.bsky.social and @ulrikeboehm.bsky.social and @bethcimini.bsky.social and @ritastrack.bsky.social and @quinnlee.bsky.social!

froze our butts off standing up for science, but that’s how much we believe in what we and other NIH-funded scientists do! @xtalmaker.bsky.social

It is important at this pivotal moment to @standupforscience.bsky.social. Looking forward to sharing my thoughts on why this should be a national priority at tomorrow’s rally in SF:

Poster preparation for the rally has begun! My minions are on the job!

Today is a devastating reminder that infectious diseases don’t care what your ‘beliefs’ are. Everyone is likely to be affected directly or indirectly. Serious challenges require serious people at the helm. Protect your loved ones. Educate. Advocate. The cost of not doing so will be too much to bear.

This is flipping brilliant. I feel empowered

Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I'm convinced that the blithering idiot (BI) got elected bc Americans mistakenly equate being rich with being smart. And so they assume that what BI is doing must be smart. They fail to recognize that

Special shout out this AM to NIH 🧪 grant mgmt specialists, POs, and SROs during this chaotic time - THANK YOU for caring for our grants and uploading scores/summary statements despite the unprecedented challenges you may be facing. You are science warriors and we APPRECIATE & SUPPORT YOU 🫶

This Thursday, I am hosting an event called CIENCIA EN ESPAÑOL for the community, not just scientists, to have researchers talk about their science in Spanish. There is a Zoom option, so please share it widely!

Who did this? Love it!

Sign up now for a live discussion "From Elephants to Humans: Evolutionary Insights into Cancer" on Weds 22nd, 11am EST. @amyboddy.bsky.social, @athenaaktipis.bsky.social & me will explore how ecology and #evolbio shape #cancer across the tree of life. Free registration: asu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Fresh out of the press! ✨Check out our new paper on the violent entry of the HIV capsid into the nuclear pore — and how it cracks the gate! 🤯 💥 Incredible work from @becklab.bsky.social and @hummerlab.bsky.social 🤩 More here: www.biophys.mpg.de/2842024/hivcapsid-cracks-the-npc?c=2011019 🔗 #teamTOMO

It was so great being able to make the last few minutes of the #AWM awards reception at #JMM2025 in Seattle, after my session wrapped up. I got there just in time to see outgoing president Talitha Washington pass the reigns to our new incoming president Raegan Higgins. Many congrats to both!

Some thrilling work being presented in this 1st session of meeting from Assoc of Women in Math #AWM on Women in Math Biology. Great work by 1st 2 spkrs Anne Nelson and Keisha Cook on modeling MTs and endosomes. Subcellular and molecular stuff. Im in heaven! #JMM

Have to share that Ingrid Daubechies, one of my true mathematical heroes, was one of the honorees awarded the prestigous National Medal of Science by Pres. Biden. She is a role model to me! Congrats to Dr Daubechies!!! #MathSky today.duke.edu/2025/01/ingr...

Am I too much fun, or what? Watch me shamelessly roll together a couple of recent posts.... Everyone who attends the #JMM2025 session I co-organized (see post) will get to actually see me in my new #ContamClub socks!!! (also see post) 📐 🔬 🧮 🧦

We are just one week away from the #JMM2025 session I co-organized with Nek Valous and Dirk Jaeger. Great lineup of talks on Computational Biomedicine! Come check us out on Friday Jan 10, 1 PM to 6 PM. Hope to see you there! #mathbio #computationalmath #computationalbio

Happy New Year, Fellow Skyers! Here's to so much scientific discovery and progress in mathematics and living the kind of positive life that brings good to the world. Prof. Bounds and I are doing a bit of work today. It is a joy. He just needs some coffee to go with that donut! 2025, bring it

I'm running our "cellular memory and adaptation" graduate-level journal club again this semester. Our focus is on studies that examine how molecular details enable the higher-order organization of cellular matter/information. So question for the crowd: what are some of your fav. papers here?

What could be better than getting my ContamClub @contamclub.bsky.social calendar (and socks!!!) right before New Years, so I can enjoy it from Day 1 of 2025!!! Microbes all flippin' year long! Thanks to @chenxinli2.bsky.social for posting the pic that convinced me to get this year's calendar!

🎅🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄 What did Santa say to the topologist who studies trefoils? 🎅: Have you been knotty or nice? Happy light-hearted, groan-inducing holidays, math friends!!! #MathSky #MathBio #MathHumor

You know what they say about never releasing on a Friday… what does it say about me that I’m releasing on the last Friday before Christmas? 😬 Anyway, ISOLDE builds for ChimeraX 1.9 are now up. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays and #FluorescenceFriday to all! 🔬
