Congratulations to Bernice Waweru! PhD student at the @johninnescentre.bsky.social and recent recipient of the 2026 Jeanie Borlaug Laube WIT Early Career Award 🎉🌱 bgri.cornell.edu/awards/wit-e...

Excited to share our new preprint! 🧬❄️ by brilliant @mdreimann.bsky.social and great collaborators! Using cryo-ET&EM, we reveal archaeal chromatin in a near-native state: variable-beads-on-a-string fibers shaped by growth phase and histone composition #ArchaeaSky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The notochord: development, disease and stem cell-based modelling In this Review, Julie Warin and colleagues discuss how #DevBio and #StemCell studies of the notochord can reveal key insights into spine formation and intervertebral disc development and maintenance. doi.org/10.1242/dev....

Happy Juneteenth, Massachusetts! Today is all about honoring Black joy, Black resilience, and Black resistance. As the first Black woman elected statewide, I am inspired by our ancestors every day as I work in community to build a truly equitable future.

New open access peer-reviewed publication led by a student! This grew out of her final paper in our sports and public health seminar. She’s now headed off to dental school, and I’m very proud of both her and the paper: “Improving accessibility of swimming lessons to reduce childhood drowning rates”

Excited to move to the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Minnesota in the fall. We will continue our work on neuromodulators and behavior. Positions available in the lab. Please get in touch if interested, and share broadly! hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/374... hr.myu.umn.edu/jobs/ext/374...

A 20 year study on 2 NIH diversity programs in Science Advances shows they doubled undergrads' odds of getting a Ph.D. That is, before the funding for those programs and for the study itself was terminated last year: www.statnews.com/2026/06/17/n...

✨ We look forward to hosting Alfredo Varela-Echavarria from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México at the #2026SDB in Las Vegas! The Varela-Echavarria lab studies the mechanisms of regeneration in garden slugs. 🐌 ✨ #devbio #regeneration 🪸

Neurosicientist Aryn Gittis and colleagues show Parkinson’s symptoms like tremor and slowed movement arise from different brain circuits, a finding that could lead to more targeted, personalized treatments. 🧪 #WomenInSTEM www.cmu.edu/mcs/news-eve...

Cytogeneticist Dr. Barbara McClintock won the 1983 #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her study of corn chromosomes--revolutionizing the field of cytogenetics. She is the only woman to be awarded an unshared Nobel Prize in this category. She was born #OTD in 1902. #WomenInSTEM

I will soon be recruiting a postdoc for projects on auditory perception in people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, based here in Auckland. It will probably be a 2-yr post If you're looking for a postdoc and are keen to live and work in NZ, you can submit an expression of interest here

My recent chat with @carlzimmer www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/s... 🧪

A glowing profile of my post-doc advisor. As @yvetteefisher.bsky.social says in the piece, Rachel is truly "...one of these generational scientists who thinks extremely incisively about both the details and the big-picture frameworks." magazine.hms.harvard.edu/articles/stu...

@isabella-gaeta.bsky.social, @shuangshuangdu.bsky.social, @valentatormenta.bsky.social et al. show that the epidermal stem cell layer retains its capacity for proliferation despite significant fibroblast depletion during both adult and neonatal stages in vivo. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #StemCells

"As an institution, we are — by charter and design and history — nonpartisan. But we are in a deeply partisan age. Just by doing our work, we will be viewed in a partisan light no matter what. So our job is to double down on the science." A principled vision for NAS via incoming Pres. Neil Shubin.

Our latest paper describes a single bacterial strain that can make different Phe derivatives from supplemented aromatic aldehydes or carboxylic acids and incorporate them into target proteins via genetic code expansion Congrats to Shelby Anderson and co-authors www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations new #VosshallLab PhDs!! So proud of all 3 of you - you make the world better Dr. Priyanka Lakhiani > MSKCC bioinformatic specialist Dr. Adriana Rosas > Whitehead Institute postdoc Dr. Yael Tsitohay > NYC public high school biology faculty @rockefeller.edu

Sometimes I like doing "random" expts. It's how I learn new things n know the limit of my system. Optogenetics is not too trivial in 🐸, but here is an example of it applied to the rear end 🔴 of a macrophage expressing Opto-Ras. It's strong enough to reverse the cell's direction. #FluorescenceFriday

I wanted to share some news: I'll be leaving the NCI at the end of August. I'm excited to share more about the lab's next step soon, but for this post wanted to focus on expressing gratitude for my colleagues, trainees, and friends at the NCI Center for Cancer Research.

Our newest review on septins as makers & breakers of membrane contacts in J Neurochem Fun writing with new PhD grad (and FASEB Septin Conference A/V Assistant Extrordinaire) TJ Holt Thanks @mcmurraylab.bsky.social @sergemostowylab.bsky.social for input. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Join us to hear Maike Frye at #Angioscience26! Maike studies how extracellular and physical microenvironments govern vessel integrity, notably demonstrating how matrix stiffness instructs lymphatic vessel formation. Deadline June 15th. Register today!

New paper! How do RNAs "know" where to go inside a cell? We dug into the sequence elements that route RNAs to the right place. It turns out that, in mammals, they're surprisingly massive (>200 nt), multipartite, and wonderfully complicated. 🧵

Happy to share our new paper in @dev-journal.bsky.social . This project started while I was at Stanford with @stanfordstomata.bsky.social and was completed at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social by @pablidopsis.bsky.social . Find it here: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

I am incredibly excited to join this vibrant community

It's not every day your FIRST academic publication lands a @forbes.com FEATURE! Absolutely WILD. 🤯 Thank you to Dr. Gassam Asare for interviewing @emmarackstraw.bsky.social and I about our new study where we show why Black supervisors matter in the workplace and beyond. #blacksky #econsky #news

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

"Humbled to receive this recognition. This belongs as much to my team, my family, & to my home, Palestine: the people, the place, the joyful stubbornness to enjoy life." Cheers buddy @gautamdey.bsky.social Thx to my mentors @sophiemartinlab.bsky.social, @paveltomancak.bsky.social, & Pierre Gönczy.

We are thrilled to announce our new preprint from the wonderful @sorayavillaseca.bsky.social Ever wondered how cells squeeze through tiny spaces in embryos? Neural crest cells use Dynein to transport their nucleus along microtubules. Check out the preprint!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

📢 We are looking for a Junior Group Leader to join us at @institutcurie.bsky.social! Having joined the department just over a year ago, I can honestly say that it is an exceptionally stimulating and supportive scientific environment, filled with outstanding colleagues — all in the heart of Paris.

Science really takes a village. Thrilled to share this with my friend @dudinlab.bsky.social, and with our brilliant and fearless teams, our collaborators around the world and our mentors - in my case a special shoutout to Buzz Baum, Jan Ellenberg and @monicabettencourt.bsky.social. 1/2
