My first last 🥲 and the last of my 🪰 work (for now) with Catherine Sutcliffe, the Ashe lab, @hilary.ashe.bsky.social and @shukryjhabib.bsky.social. www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

Our work on germline stem cell cytonemes and BMP signalling is finally published! A great team effort from the Ashe lab, @wilcocksonscott.bsky.social and @shukryjhabib.bsky.social. www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

We are searching for an enthusiastic scientist to join our team and establish annual killifish as a model system for early developmental biology and biophysics! @embl.org @embldbunit.bsky.social Apply here: embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/EMBL/job/Hei... Please re-post 🙏

Paper alert! I am really pleased to share the final version of the work led by Irène Amblard in the team on a regulatory switch controlling Cdx2 expression during posterior body development! #regulatorylogic #devbio @mrc-lms.bsky.social @imperialmed.bsky.social

If you love Daniocell, but wish it could generate analyses specific to YOUR genes & cell types of interest, check out DaniocellDesktop - a new point-and-click app for Mac and Windows that enables reanalysis of the Daniocell data without programming: daniocell.nichd.nih.gov/desktop/ (1/4)

@wilcocksonscott.bsky.social kicks off the 9th Biosensor Workgroup meeting in Boulogne sur mer, France. ERK signaling in vivo coming up! #FRBiosensorMeeting

Are you an UK-based student and still looking for a PhD post in Life Sciences starting in autumn? Join the @lsiexeter.bsky.social - we have been awarded a few extra scholarships from the University. So, be quick and apply! www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...

My first post on Bluesky! Very excited to share our work just published in @science.org. We find that “Interphase cell morphology defines the mode, symmetry, and outcome of mitosis” - in angiogenesis and other tissues! www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

The LSI Exeter invites you to join the first UK Zebrafish Meeting, 10/ - 12/9/ @lsiexeter.bsky.social. We are looking for motivated PhD students/ECRs to present their work - as talks and posters. www.exeter.ac.uk/research/ins... . The deadline for the early bird registration is 15/5/. So, be quick!

The 9th National Meeting of the #French #Fluorescent #Biosensor #Workgroup ! 👉Registration deadline : May 30, 2025 👉Website : 9bgm.univ-littoral.fr @france-bioimaging.bsky.social @sbcf.bsky.social @cnrs.fr @fsipieter.bsky.social @wilcocksonscott.bsky.social @kshkarina.bsky.social #ULCO

We are hiring! A postdoc position is available in the lab studying gene expression dynamics in Drosophila embryos, as part of a larger research effort in collaboration with @mrattray.bsky.social 🧬🔬🪰 Full details are in the ad: www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

Our new paper describes how SunTag imaging of mRNA translation can be used to study ribosome pausing in development. We also adapt the system to study translation of a secreted protein. Work done in collaboration with @mrattray.bsky.social and @markashe.bsky.social doi.org/10.1242/jcs....

Is there more to defining the eve stripes in the Drosophila embryo than just transcriptional regulation? We provide evidence that spatially regulated mRNA decay is also important.

Still working on it, but now we are on bluesky I want to share our current preprint with you on"Local optogenetic NMYII activation within the zebrafish neural rod results in long range, asymmetric force propagation". www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📢‼️ Exciting new preprint from the lab by @nikhil-mishra.bsky.social et al, now out on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social, reveals that the early embryo geometry spatiotemporally patterns zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in zebrafish. 🐟 tinyurl.com/Biorxiv-nmis... Read on to learn more... 👇

Applications open for a new cohort of @dev-journal.bsky.social *Pathway to Independence* fellows Know a #devbio post-doc about to enter the academic job market? Would they benefit from a little support & mentoring? Spread the word Deadline 31 Jan 2025 journals.biologists.com/dev/pages/pi...

We're hiring a postdoc! Please forward to people you know who are looking for positions. Interested in studying how metabolism is wired to support fertility? 🔬🪰 Come join us! Ad to go live next week, but informal enquiries encouraged.

Welcome the Blue Exodus with a new preprint collab with my old gaff @mcf-uom.bsky.social @Ashelab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Cytoneme-dependent BMP signalling promotes stem cell fitness and is necessary for dedifferentiation in the #Drosophila ovarian germline

First post, first Postdoc paper, first 🦓🐟 paper, first journal cover! 🥳 🎶On the fourth day of Christmas, Dev Cell gave to me: An improved Erk biosensor that detects oscillatory Erk dynamics driven by mitotic erasure during early development🎶 www.cell.com/developmenta...
