"No matter how much we tell ourselves AI is like spell-check, it isn’t. When we use AI to flesh out ideas, we lose the most important part of the writing process: thinking...the effort and the hang-ups are a feature of the human thought process, not a bug" www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Heads up GitHub users. You have less than a month left to opt out of "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training". "On April 24 we'll start using GitHub Copilot interaction data for AI model training unless you opt out." github.com/settings/cop...

Excited to share our work enabling imaging across scales, from molecular assemblies at a few hundred nanometers to living organisms and tissues at millimeter scale, with minutes time resolution. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Great news! @mariaingaramo.bsky.social 's company (Nonfiction Labs) made a remote-controlled antibody. Its binding turns on and off with a magnet. This is a HUGE step towards our dream of magnetically controlled drugs. Imagine a cancer drug that ONLY attacks the tumor, not the rest of your body.

🚨The Neurocyto lab is branching out in our latest preprint! We used tubulin microinjection to directly visualize microtubule turnover in developing hippocampal neurons, demonstrating the presence of in-lattice repair and a selective stabilization in the nascent axon. Check below, or read on 🧵 1/9

Testing out the new hyped AI peer review tool (@qedscience.bsky.social) on one of my old papers and saw many of the errors people are posting about online, but this comment made me laugh! Thank you LLM for blindly trusting my movies are amazing even if you have not seen them

Job alert! We are looking for a bioimage analysis to work in an image analysis core facility in beautiful Paris. Can I ask you to share this opportunity with your networks? See also on the forum: forum.image.sc/t/research-e...

Our new preprint is up! This is the main postdoc work of @wiesner-t.bsky.social focusing on exocytosis along the axon shaft and its regulation by the sub membrane actin-spectrin scaffold: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Read the thread below for a summary of our findings 🧵1/11

New NeuroCyto preprint about to drop! @wiesner-t.bsky.social 😎⏳

Despite their high rigidity, microtubules (MTs) dynamically bend and buckle in cells. MT-self repair is inherent to their metastable nature, but it remains unclear whether just inherent repair mechanisms are sufficient to maintain MT integrity🧵 (1/9) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share that my paper on Tau–Microtubule interactions is now published in Nature Physics!🎉 Our work shows that tau goes beyond stabilizing microtubules—it also promotes the removal of defects in the microtubule lattice. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

FINALLY! Challenging to publish but we believe it is an important discovery: rdcu.be/eATFz 💚 Thanks to the team ‪@biswashere.bsky.social‬, Omar Muñoz, ✨Q✨ C. Hoege, B. Lorton, R. Nikolay ‪@matthewkraushar.bsky.social‬ @dshechter.bsky.social @gucklab.bsky.social @vasilyzaburdaev.bsky.social‬ 💚

FlyBase needs your help! We ask that European labs continue to contribute to Cambridge, UK FlyBase, whereas US and other non-European labs can contribute to US FlyBase. For more information and how to donate: wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...

🍹Kletter et al. show that cell state-specific cytoplasmic density controls spindle architecture and scaling in neural differentiation, suggesting that the physical properties of the cytoplasm are a determinant in #organelle size control. bit.ly/4mhMvsU
