Last day in the lab for student Jake @jakecross96.bsky.social. So we had a naming ceremony for a freezer in his honor. Good luck at the @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social

This will end up being another attack on research institutions in the US. I worked in New York on an H1 visa for many years. It benefited me and the lab I was in. Would it have happened if I cost an additional $100,000 per year? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

So, Farage wants to kick out my mum, a French citizen who has lived, worked, paid taxes and raised 2 kids in the UK for over 50 years. I'll make sure to yell at her to "go back to where you came from".

Don't know about him joining ICE.....

Another excellent study showing #CASM at play in plant stress responses!

Neighbors may not like our overgrown lawn. But if it lets wild flowers like this grow, who cares! Bee Orchid #biodiversity

7 months later....BBSRC grant scored 6,6,5,4 (out of 6) - rated excellent. Committee D: Not funded.

Sometimes science can wait

Unbelievable. Richard Youle, winner of the Breakthrough Prize for Life Sciences, just got fired from the NIH. If you want to know what madness looks like, here it is, my friend.

🚀Our latest work reveals how RAB5c orchestrates LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) to boost macrophage defense against A. fumigatus! 🦠🔬 🧵 Dive into the mechanisms linking endosomal traffic to innate immunity! #Immunology #Autophagy #Phagocytosis #Macrophage #Preprint doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Congrats to Ian Ganley of Dundee University on winning the #BSCB Hooke Medal 🥇for his outstanding work on mitophagy 🎉🎉🌟

Happy to share the latest work from the lab @crick.ac.uk. Outstanding work from Di Chen and Tony Fearns showing the link between Mtb membrane damage, calcium leakage and ATG8/LC3 lipidation in macrophages. Congratulations Di and Tony! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Twitter suffered an outage….. and I didn’t even notice.

American politics is a joke. With a chief joker. Heartbreaking for the world

I wonder when Trump will start referring to the Ukraine war as "the Russian humanitarian effort"

Honored to be involved with this event. Celebrating Len and Phill, titans of lipid signalling!

Quick, US colleagues. Add something about Ley Lines and nanobots into your NIH grants! Good luck

Sad. He did some of my favorite screen things.

Musk and Zuckerberg didn’t do the cage fight thing. But now they are competing to see who’s the biggest douchebag. But wait, a new contender has entered the ring…….

Headed to #CellBio2024 in San Diego this weekend? Come by our booth in the Exhibit Hall to chat about the journal! Pick up a copy of this year's Year in Cell Biology magazine 📙 and grab one of our exclusive puzzles 🧩🎁 See you at booth 520

Happily watching Star Wars A new Hope........ My kids you say? Well, they are on their screens not interested in this "ancient" film

📣 Today's paper in The EMBO J. by tarafisch.bsky.social 👏🥳 "STING induces HOIP-mediated synthesis of M1 ubiquitin chains to stimulate NF-κB signaling" #STING #linear-Ub #K63-polyUb link: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Just moved the Bluesky shortcut to the front of my phone. The “other one” is at the back.

I have a joke about western blots, but I’m still developing it. #bringbackscijokes

I was years late to twitter, and probably slow to get here. But here I am.
