Big news, dorks: We're going NATIONAL! Join us for our National Day of Action on March 7th in Washington DC, or at one of our satellite rallies across the US. We're taking back our science, health, and democracy! Find or host your local rally! standupforscience.net/march7 (Link in bio!)

Wow! Remarkably complete story on the logic of phenotypic plasticity in a predatory protist - congrats @cellraiser.bsky.social et al!

My awesome advisor @wallaceucsf.bsky.social summarizes our new #preprint on a syntaxin that’s important for #healing wounds in the ciliate #Stentor!

Loved listening to this thoughtful conversation!

#newpost, exploring an exciting meta-science movement called #nightscience! Thanks @marymirvis.bsky.social for the resource!

Can we learn something from analyzing the messy, development phase of ideas... before they are refined? Can chronicling first person accounts of our #ideation process yield best practices for #discovery and #innovation? Check out my post! #newpost thebreakthroughlogs.substack.com/p/the-messy-...

Our research on wound resistance in Stentor is live on bioRxiv! Tldr; we squeezed the cells through microfluidic constrictions and the formidable lead author Rajorshi Paul characterized what makes the cells get wounded!

Fun Q&A with Curr Bio in which I discuss mammoths, Don Quijote, and why you should not fall in love with a hypothesis authors.elsevier.com/a/1l2MF3QW8S...

New(ish) preprint! 📰What whole-cell patterns emerge from the arrangement, morphologies, and interactions of organelles in the 3D space of the cell? What would we see if we could gather ALL the whole-cell reconstruction data that's out there in one place? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 1/11

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

Delighted to share our new preprint on the cell biology and genome of Stentor pyriformis, a giant ciliate that maintains Chlorella endosymbionts in surface-associated microtubule baskets. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
