It's finally out! Our paper on optogenetic interrogation of the lateral line: www.cell.com/iscience/ful... This one involved a lot of sweat and tears, and it was a real tour de force. It was also the last paper we got to write with Jim, so it's a special one (and hence, the tears).

Thank you to organisers Alex Dunn, @zevgartner.bsky.social, @adrianjacobo.bsky.social and Matthew Kutys and everyone who joined us for our Workshop on New Technologies for Studying and Reprogramming Development. #BiologistsWorkshops biologists.com/workshops

PSA: around 5-8% of the population has a color vision impairment for red/green. Many talks at #2025ICDB still use red-green LUTs on slides that are not accessible to everyone. Changing to more accessible colors is doable and easy. We can do better. #devbio #ICDB2025 #WeTheColorBlind

Website is now open for registration and abstract submission! See you in beautiful SLO! 😎🏖️ www.sdbonline.org/wcsdb2025

Published 40 years ago, Metcalfe et al. were first to fully characterize the lateral line (a series of sense organs on skin that detect water flow) in #zebrafish larvae. Included within this seminal piece are meticulous hand-drawings that are commonly found in Kimmel's papers. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

We have a new opening! Amazing environment colleagues and facility! Join us!

Happy to be in sunny☀️San Diego for ASCB Cell Bio! Tomorrow I will present #Ultrack and #inTRACKtive (poster B513) at 11:15 am. Swing by the [email protected] booth (#119) for live demos of these tools + #napari & #zebrahub 🐠 Looking forward to connect!🤩🧪🔬 #CellBio2024 #ASCB24 #celltracking

As #BlueSci grows, let’s remember to amplify the voices that are historically suppressed and create inclusive spaces. I’ve created two lists for you to find Black Scientists here: bsky.app/profile/did:... bsky.app/profile/did:... I’m happy to promote more, just comment!

Anyone have any publicly available data (or data you want to share with me) that you'd love to see segmented? I find myself in need of some fun data to segment in my free time... #cryoET or #volumeEM!

While our bodies seem static, our cells are constantly changing shape or on the move during tissue homeostasis or wound repair & even more dramatically during embryonic development, during events like gastrulation. Defining how cellular machines mediate these events is a key task for our field 1/n

Che, dear @jay.bsky.team , check out this problem. Bluesky's consumption of mobile data is absurdly high. This will be a big issue down here in the third world.

A technician in my group is applying for grad school this year. He is amazing and should be accepted in every program he applies to. In addition to writing him a stellar letter, what are the ethics and etiquette of PIs cold emailing people in those programs to recommend someone?

🔊 Exciting AI Research Opportunity! my team at @czbiohub SF is hiring a Research Scientist to develop foundational AI models for BioImage analysis. Join us to work on cutting-edge ML/CV! 💻🔬🧪🧠 #AIJobs #ML job-boards.greenhouse.io/chanzuckerbe...

In case you were wondering, Clarivate does assign an impact factor to this journal.

This starter pack is in honor of Assistant Professor Antentor Hinton Jr (AJ) at Vanderbilt School of Medicine - Basic Sciences. AJ curated the first 100 Inspiring Black Scientists in America list and in collaboration with the Community of Scholars expanded this list to the 1000. go.bsky.app/DsJrwR

I couldn't find one so I made one. Scientists who blend starter pack! Follow all the coolest #b3d science renders! I don't know everyone (or really anyone) so self-nominate and I'll add you in! (Bonus points if you post a cool render) go.bsky.app/S253qJN

Indeed! Hello everyone!

Look who's here! @loicaroyer.bsky.social

Since I have so many new friends 😄, I thought I'd advertise this. Together with @pritiagarwal.bsky.social and Lance Davidson, we run a Developmental Mechanics seminar series on Zoom (originally started by Ronen Zaidel-Bar). This coming Thursday, we have our last session for 2024. Join us!!

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/PB6s8PQ

Or something you'll hear at a skydiving meeting.

My first #FluorescenceFriday on the new sky! The emergence of the neural progenitor cells (magenta) in the #zebrafish embryos #brain 🔬

🚀Thrilled to announce #inTRACKtive: a web-based tool for exploring massive cell-tracking datasets, no software installation required! Open your browser and dive into terabytes of developmental biology data 🐭🪰🪱🪲🐠 Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Repository: github.com/royerlab/inT... 🧵1/n

Couldn't find one so made a quick physics of life list, enjoy! go.bsky.app/EA2VsDN

How would starter packs look like of the other site had them? - Election denier starter pack - Covid doesn't exist starter pack - Neonazis starter pack - Elon bootlickers starter pack

Welcome to our Bluesky account. With so many of our community members now present on Bluesky, we felt it was the right time to join. We will use this account to bring you news from the Company, our journals and our community sites.

Here is a link to my developmental biology starter pack. Please add and follow. go.bsky.app/M5AgJhn

If you see a lot of folks replying to posts with a 📌 emoji it’s because they’re using this feed. It’s essentially a bookmark! Reply with the emoji and it pulls the post into your own private feed and saves it there for you! Here:

On the other site, Sabine is following the same descent-into -madness-disguised-as- rational-thinking that Musk and others have experienced in the past. It's fascinating to watch social media exposure eating away their brains in real time.

How do folks prep/purify plasmids before microinjecting #zebrafish? Been having high mortality, and want to make sure we're not missing something! Thanks!

I'm missing a bookmark function on this site, can we get one?

Hi #SciSky! We like fish… A LOT 😅 Follow us for the latest news, jobs, and research from the #Zebrafish Community! 🧪

These starter packs are so great! I'm not only finding a lot of people from the other site but also others I didn't know! Keep them coming!

Are you interested in understanding how cells self-organize to form complex structures? We use zebrafish and an interdisciplinary approach combining cutting-edge microscopy, AI, and theoretical modeling tools! If so, please apply to my group: boards.greenhouse.io/chanzuckerbe...

We are looking for a Research Associate to work on developing new genetic tools in zebrafish! Please share far and wide! boards.greenhouse.io/chanzuckerbe...

Professors: ChatGPT is great! I can use it to draft letters, edit my papers, it saves so much time! Also professors: A student used ChatGPT to send me an email! I'm outraged! Kids these days!

My 6-year-old daughter couldn't fall asleep because she was scared of black holes, even though I told her they are VERY far away. She calmed down when I told her that if you wait long enough BHs evaporate and spit all their contents.

Hola 🇦🇷!

(I wish BlueSky had a bookmark feature so I could save all the great work y’all are sharing.)

Reposting this in the science feed 🧪

Join us at #CZBiohubSF on Oct. 12 for the 2nd #PhysicsofLife Symposium. Register to attend, present a poster, or submit an abstract (especially students, postdocs, and early-career researchers)! Please repost, share, and register! 2nd Physics of Life Symposium 2023 - CZ Biohub Network

The plot thickens

The one thing I don't like about migrating here is that I had to pick a new profile picture, I'm 10 years older in this one.
