Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

The CRG PhD call is open! 🌟 A truly special place, world-class facilities, an inspiring community, and a training team that really cares about helping each student reach their full potential. My lab will be recruiting (moving next year), as will many amazing new colleagues! #CRGPhD2026 #CRGBarcelona

The centriole is crucial for cilia formation, but its molecular architecture is not known. Research from the @Wieczorek Group at ETH Zurich reports structures of the centriole’s A-C linker, revealing how it crosslinks neighboring microtubule triplets. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

The U.S. government says Amazon manipulated people into signing up for Prime memberships that were purposefully hard to cancel. The company says its designs and disclosures follow industry standards.

I have hundreds of these in my gel room. Any good ideas on how to repurpose them? 🧪🔬

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers. My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers. We found 437 of them. Download it freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

write good papers and die happy

✨#FluorescenceFriday brings you a glowing Berghia stephanieae juvenile! This stunning sea slug is lit up with Anti-α-Tubulin 🟢, revealing the dense network of cilia that help it glide across surfaces. 🐌💫 Image taken by @Luiza-O-Saad.bsky.social #Microscopy #DevBio

Mark your calendars! The next ASCB | EMBO Meeting #CellBio2025 is taking place in Philadelphia, US, 6–10 December 2025: www.ascb.org/cellbio2025/ 🧪 @ascbiology.bsky.social‬ #CellBiology #research

The membrane topology problem inherent in ciliogenesis is solved by ciliary recruitment of a phospholipid flippase www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Postdoc position in my lab: investigating how the microtubule motor protein dynein-2 works in cilia. Here's dynein-2 at work translocating microtubules - how is this activity regulated? How does dynein-2 malfunction in disease? Find out more and apply: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

This fall, we are offering a Light Microscopy Bootcamp for graduate students, postdocs, and advanced researchers! 🔬 Students will learn fluorescent microscopy, transmitted light microscopy, image processing, and more using our state-of-the-art systems. Learn more at the link! bit.ly/4iGt8Yi

Thankful to receive a Best Poster Award at a research conference last week! 🏆🔬 #cilia #cellbio #devbio #bioinformatics

Exclusive: Science has learned that grant termination letters went out last night to principal investigators of 29 awards made by NIAID, including nine grants that were part of a program hoping to deliver antiviral drugs to prevent future pandemics. scim.ag/4iVm7mY

Asgard archaea have actin - but what about microtubules? Where do they come from? 🧐 Our new paper www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... by @xujwet.bsky.social & @florianwollweber.bsky.social, in collaboration with the Schleper & Wieczorek labs, describes tiny Asgard microtubules! #TeamTomo #ArchaeaSky 1/6

Save the date! Cell Bio 2025, the joint ASCB | EMBO meeting, will take place in Philadelphia, US, 6 – 10 December 2025: www.ascb.org/cellbio2025/ #CellBio2025 @ascbiology.bsky.social 🧪

openRxiv has arrived! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of openRxiv as an independent, researcher-led nonprofit to oversee bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world’s leading preprint servers for life and health sciences. openrxiv.org/introducing-... #openRxiv #OpenScience #Preprints #bioRxiv #medRxiv

Sharing some oocyte spindle love-an image taken by PhD student Phia Maddocks. This beautiful work is supported by our NIH funding. Without this funding, we cannot understand the complexities of fertility genetics. With declining fertility rates, this work is essential to human health.

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

I stood up today - and so did Beaker! #standupforscience2025 #standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

On March 3rd, he asked me what day it was. It's March 3rd... FOUR DAYS BEFORE WE STAND UP FOR SCIENCE 🎉🎉🎉🎉

More than 20 civil service employees are resigning from Elon Musk’s DOGE, saying they refuse to “dismantle critical public services.”

Caspases have well known roles in #apoptosis, but roles in other cellular processes are emerging... This study shows that #caspase -3 & -7 promote cytoprotective #autophagy in response to non-lethal stress by modulating PARP1 activity in #BreastCancer cells 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/41xfLVm

The National Institutes of Health had to stop considering new grant applications, delaying funding for research into diseases ranging from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and allergies.

Happy #fluorescencefriday to the microscopy folks of Bluesky! 🧪 Please enjoy this image hot off the slide scanner piloting our new decon module in a murine #Parkinsons model

🧪 Evo-2, the largest AI model for biology, is here. Trained on 128K genomes, it can generate entire chromosomes and decode noncoding DNA linked to disease. Scientists see it as an "app store" for biology. 🧬💻

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

🧪 Clickable interactive site that lets you look up each organ system damaged by #LongCovid and then further click on that page brought up to see many research papers supporting each lot of organ damage longcovidsux.com#body-map

Weekend reading: three nice preprints published yesterday. First is @mkiwanski.bsky.social et al. in Lucas Kapitein's lab using Motor-PAINT and expansion microscopy to visualize micotubule orientation in developing neurons: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
