"For half an hour, I vented everything I had been holding in for months … my supervisor … then calmly offered a line I’ll never forget: 'You are here to learn to ride a bicycle, not to invent a bicycle.' That one sentence landed softly, but it cracked something open." https://scim.ag/4lt1Ru0

It's my first #newPI roll call on BlueSky! Calling all new #cancer PIs who just started or who are about to start their labs! Please say hi and what you work on so I can follow you if I don't already! 😃

🎉 600 Years of Excellence: KU Leuven 🎓🌌 This year, KU Leuven celebrates an extraordinary milestone: 600 years of knowledge, innovation, and impact. For six centuries, our university has been at the forefront of education, research, and societal advancement.

Happy 600th birthday to the University of Leuven!

Congratulations to Zeynep Koçberber to receive a KU Leuven doctoral fellowship

What began with an inter-lab research stay has evolved in a great collaboration with Miguel Martin Perez and Salvador Aznar Benitah and @ankevandekeere.bsky.social . Interested in lipid signaling? Check the latest article for studying protein palmitoylation in mammalian cells

Welcome Maria de los Angeles Caliz Molina, new PhD student in Fendt Lab. We wish you a stay full of science and learning moments.

The data is the data, so don’t do an experiment unless you’re willing to accept evidence that goes against your hypothesis.

Great review from @alteamanzanolab.bsky.social and #AyeletErez!

Great KS-Symposium @NTU Taipei! NTU will turn 100y in 2028 & KUL 600y this year. There are similarities showing kindness w/o borders. After WWII many American colleges donated books to resurrect the library of KUL and NTU donated books to help the resurrection of the university library in Hiroshima!

Today we celebrate Zena Werb with an inspirational memorial lecture delivered by @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social who is a former UCSF Dept of Anatomy postdoc alum !

Group meetings are great because – while you're working slowly on your one project for years – you can follow in parallel the (also slow) projects of the others in the lab & get a fuller picture of the different patterns by which projects unfold. @nightsciencepod.bsky.social @cbartman.bsky.social

Scientists @vib-ccb.bsky.social found that aspartate, a biosynthesis metabolite, functions in the lung environment as an extracellular signaling molecule to promote aggressiveness of metastases in mice and patients. https://buff.ly/4iY5ece @ginevradoglioni.bsky.social @fendtlab.bsky.social

Doing my first cancer research #newPI rollcall on Bluesky! Please leave a comment with what you work on so I can follow you!

"[My adviser] told me that instead of focusing on finding a dream job, I should think about what I am good at and what makes me happy at least 80% of the time. This advice surprised me at first, but it ended up being exactly what I needed to hear." scim.ag/3DHtLCc

One of the best moments as a mentor is the success of team members! Big congratulations to @ginevradoglioni.bsky.social for her outstanding PhD research pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39743589/ and many thanks to everybody who contributed to Ginevra's success! #ProudPI #FWO #KBF #KOTK

Did you ever wonder why metastatic cancers often spread to the lungs? Amazing research from @ginevradoglioni.bsky.social! Many thanks to all collaborators, funders and patients. Wishing you all an enjoyable read and a happy new year and Ginevra a great next endeavor @salkinstitute.bsky.social

MIT researchers introduce Boltz-1, a fully open-source model for predicting biomolecular structures With models like AlphaFold3 limited to academic research, the team built an equivalent alternative, to encourage innovation more broadly www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

We are hiring! We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral fellow to work on an exciting project on #Metastasis and #HighFatDiet at #CABIMER in the beautiful city of Seville (Spain). Join us! More info 👇

#50ScientistsThatInspire 🧪 Sarah-Maria Fendt investigates #metabolic pathways in physiology and cancer.. "Believe in yourself, look for good mentors, follow the data, trust your gut feelings, think big, and—if I may quote Star Trek—boldly go where no one has gone before!" @fendtlab.bsky.social 🧵

Xiao-Zheng Liu, postdoc at @vib-ccb.bsky.social @fendtlab.bsky.social, wins Belgian L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Award ➡️ Read here: vibbio.tech/3Bhl0OB 🔬 Her work aims to identify metabolic vulnerabilities and prevent metastasis at an early stage. 🎉 Congratulations!
