Fascinating work on enigmatic octopuses with my wife’s @tatiana-atpase.bsky.social MD simulations! Huge congrats to the lab, where she makes her PhD @eriklindahl.bsky.social, and the collaborators lead the project @nbellono.bsky.social!

Pablo Villar et al discover male octopus mating arms are sensory organs used to find females, navigate internally to the oviduct & deliver sperm. From behavior to structure, these findings offer a framework for how sensory systems shape reproduction & species barriers www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Male octopuses use a specialized arm that acts as both a sensory and reproductive organ to navigate the female’s mantle, locate oviducts, and transfer sperm. These findings reveal how sensory systems shape reproductive behavior and drive speciation. Learn more in Science: https://scim.ag/4dYMtFq

Excited to share our new paper in @cp-molcell.bsky.social Molecular Cell: "Catalytic-dependent and independent functions of the histone acetyltransferase CBP promote pioneer-factor-mediated zygotic genome activation" — the big part of my PhD! www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

That was a lot of fun! Listen to Milosz’s podcast Phase Space Invaders, lots of useful content for our community in a format we are not used to!

What a find (via @floragraham.bsky.social)! The Journal of Universal Rejection, www.universalrejection.org, to which “all submissions, regardless of quality, will be rejected”. Can't wait to go to their conference! Oops! That has been canceled! 😆 #AcademicSky 🧪 ⚒️ #scipol

Is there a membranes protein/transporter/ion channel starter pack somewhere?

I tried to make a bioml starter pack. DM if you want me to add or remove you? go.bsky.app/2VWBcCd
