Industry friends, now is the time for MUCH more speaking out on behalf of academic colleagues under duress. Here are core open source methods that many of your products doubtlessly depend on either directly or indirectly (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMMER) being abruptly defunded. Make noise.

🔬 Hiring: Postdoctoral Fellow Seeking a bioinformatician/screening expert to be part of our team running genome‑wide screens, building data‑integration pipelines & validating hits in higher organisms. 🌱 2‑yr fellowship with tailored mentorship, leadership & science‑communication training

Come and join us in solving mystery of plasma membrane proteostasis in beautiful neurons.

Pls re-skeet! There's a postdoc job available to join us in Bristol! We're looking for a molecular cell biologist to help us investigate plasma membrane proteostasis in neurons. Apply here by 23 April: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMO097/r.... If interested, do contact me and check out grieve-lab.com! Thanks!

A fitting announcement to an outstanding scientist and friend who is dearly missed by many. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Thank you Ines! I had such a lovely time visiting sunny York this week, sharing our science and chatting cell bio, neuroscience and proteases. Thanks for the invite, special thanks to the one and only @yorkyeast.bsky.social for top-notch hosting!

Nanopore technology might be able to sequence proteins soon! Read about the road ahead in this exciting Perspective rdcu.be/edWPi in @naturebiotech.bsky.social

Do you need some science joy in your life? Do you like neurons? Maybe glia? Molecules? Cell biology? Save the date for #NeuroBioUK25 - the venue is booked and we are excited to see you and your incredible science there on the 12th of September! neurobiouk.sites.sheffield.ac.uk

Save the date: We're excited that the third NeuroBioUK will take place on September. Block it in your calendar to join us in York for a fun day of neurons, glia, cool science and chats!

Our lab's #1st manuscript from our #1st #PhD Katie is on #bioRxiv! Check it out 👇🏻 #macrophage regulation of fibroblast #collagen #circadian rhythm. #ImmunoECMatrix w/ @profandrewmac.bsky.social @tracyh9494.bsky.social @mcrcellmatrix.bsky.social @mcf-uom.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Exciting opportunity in the newly minted McMillan lab in Liverpool. Kirsty is a great scientist and a top mentor for students - if you’re looking for a PhD and are interested in trafficking and neurodegeneration, do contact her!

UK Membrane Trafficking 2024 Who doesn’t like a deadline that gets brought forward? Please register by 3rd December - King’s need longer to make the sandwiches than I previously thought! estore.kcl.ac.uk/conferences-... Programme coming soon!

Amazing PhD opportunity to join an exciting new lab at Bristol Biochemistry - send your best students in Ferdos’ direction!

If you’re interested in how molecular motors coordinate to power intracellular trafficking events (e.g. endocytosis), I’ve got a PhD position available to study this at vibrant Bristol uni. In this project, we will capture highly dynamic events by #cryoEM, single molecule imaging & cell biology. 🔬❄️🧪

Can I ask you to share a PhD advert at Bristol Uni please? Rhomboid proteases play a role in neurons that is essential for life- but it is not characterised. Got a student interested in cell biology, electrophysiology and neurobiology? Send them our way! tinyurl.com/56f24f7c

Waves of new BlueSky arrivals in last few days! I’ve been tracking starter packs relevant to molecular/mechanistic/genetic/cellular…etc biology Hope it’s helpful but warning: now a v long thread! Probably the last time I can do this...

Interested in: - mitochondrial regulation and quality control related to Parkinson's Disease? - novel hemi-channels for mitochondrial protein import/degradation? - the structural basis of PINK1 recognition by PARL? Then read this cool paper from the Collinson and Corey labs! tinyurl.com/2hhp5h35
