Excited to attend my very first SDB!

Another successful WiNSS at @UCSFPsychiatry and looking forward to co-hosting a summer full of cool neuroscience seminars!

Weird intersection of math & centrifuge balancing: Visual proof that it's possible to balance a 24-position centrifuge rotor for any number of equally-filled tubes EXCEPT 1 and 23. Some of these are anxiety-inducing, though. (🧑‍🎨: aliyoh, labrats subreddit)

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

This is where collective action is needed if we all include diversity and its relevance to are research in grants& biosketches will they defend all of us? Complying in advance is harmful. Some people can delete diversity from biosketches and grants I can't delete that I'm a black woman scientist.

Join us for the fantastic annual @cshlnews.bsky.social #Xenopus cell & developmental Biology course. Deadline for application is Jan 31st. meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx...

real panic going on with the status of trainee fellowships at the moment

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you

This was a v cool talk a few months ago at the European cilia conference and looking forward to reading the paper! 🐟🧠

Have you ever wondered what role motile #cilia and cerebrospinal fluid (#CSF) play in brain development and physiology? If yes, please check out our latest article now published in Cell Reports and spearheaded by the newly minted Dr D'Gama www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Power of #HumanGenetics- is #autism a #ciliopathy? @elinakosty.bsky.social (goodfrognosis.bsky.social) makes a compelling case for unexpected synaptic & chromatin disease genes at #cilia, both #primary & #motile-"cilia are beautiful in #Xenopus". ICYMI: doi.org/10.1101/2024... #ukcilia2025 /3

So excited to be speaking at the 50th BSCB UK Cilia Network e-symposium tomorrow! I'll be talking about my work on the convergence of autism proteins at the cilium in @goodfrognosis.bsky.social lab , but there will be many very cool cilia talks tomorrow at 7 AM PST / 10 AM EST 👇

Calendars out- just over two weeks until our 🎉50th🥳 @bscb-official.bsky.social @gensocuk.bsky.social @ukcilianetwork.bsky.social e-symposium 14/01/2025 15:00-17:30- everything hot in #cilia #centrosomes free & open to all! Register to access this 🔥 series: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bscb-genso... /1

My poster is today so if you think cilia, autism genetics, neurodevelopment or frogs 🐸are cool please drop by poster B87! #CellBio2024

So excited to present my work at #CellBio2024! I'll be presenting a poster on the convergence of autism proteins at the cilium 👇@goodfrognosis.bsky.social. This is my first time at #CellBio2024 so if you're interested in neurodevelopment, frogs🐸, autism, or cilia please drop by and let's chat!

Cilia take center stage in neurodevelopmental disorders. I think this is only the beginning, many more studies to follow. Stay tuned #cilia www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excellent preprint from @goodfrognosis.bsky.social’s lab, showing convergence of #autism related proteins at the #cilium (sure to interest people working on cilia/centrosome on this platform; ping @cilialab.bsky.social) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our new ✨preprint ✨📝 describing extraordinary convergence of autism proteins at the cilium, a 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/ )
