So proud of Sydney and everything she is accomplishing!

Just a reminder! Friday morning! Hope to see many of my Philly folk there!

Petition to Reverse the NIH Indirect Cost Cap initiated by Tom Maniatis. Please amplify Sign the Petition: chng.it/kK2HMP5pGk "Share with Leadership & Faculty. Reach out to professional societies, biotech and pharma leaders, and philanthropic organizations to raise awareness and mobilize support."

Excited to see work led by @autophazeke.bsky.social, @minghaochen.bsky.social, Thanh Nguyen, and Ainara Claveras out in @science.org today, the culmination of a 15-year project to understand structurally how the synthesis of the critical lipid of autophagy, PI3P, is regulated. tinyurl.com/ywvjh8u4

Your Action Is Needed! Congress needs to hear from scientists. Call your representatives to oppose funding freezes and restrictions on research. Find contact info at govtrack.us and make your voice heard today! #SciencePolicy www.ascb.org/science-poli...

Please check out the exciting new work from Bishal on the regulation of mitophagy in neurons . . .

Do check out this piece: @biologists.bsky.social really is an extraordinary organisation and it's a privilege and pleasure to work for them. We've got lots planned for our 100th birthday year so do look out for upcoming content in the journal, on @the-node.bsky.social and elsewhere!

Congratulations to John Dabiri!

Great talk from Jules Riley at #CellBio2024 - fantastic new insights into how mitophagy and inflammation are linked

Check out the latest work on how to build a sustainable future from the Howland lab at MIT

FMRP, MFF translation & mitochondrial fission in neurons ft. Adam Fenton, Ruchao Peng, @Charlie_R_Bond, @SHugelier, @melikel.bsky.social, @yiweichang.bsky.social, @erikaholzbaur.bsky.social & Thomas Jongens @BB_UPenn @penngenetics.bsky.social @cambupenn.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m so excited for #CellBio2024! Who is attending?

#CellBio2024, the joint meeting of ASCB and EMBO, will take place December 14-18, 2024, in San Diego, California. Join us to connect with scientists, present your research, and explore the latest advancements in cell biology science and technology. www.ascb.org/cellbio2024/

Great to see mito911 on Bluesky!

Ok, I made a starter pack for membrane trafficking and organelles (broadly defined). Feel free to self-nominate! go.bsky.app/RbtJjt7

🚨New open-access paper published as an Editors’ Suggestion in Physical Review Fluids! doi.org/10.1103/Phys... In this paper led by Postdoc Kerry Klemmer, we use LES to analyze wind turbine wake deficit and wake added turbulence kinetic energy in stable and neutral atmospheric boundary layers.

It is great to meet up with so many of you here! Thanks to Mark Peifer and Chantell Evans for the inspiration.

The big one is out! So over the moon to see our latest work with Stéphane Vassilopoulos published in Science. Check out how we reveal the unique architecture of clathrin-coated pits and endocytosis at the axon initial segment: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Happy to be here and excited to share my postdoc work, "Autophagic stress activates distinct compensatory secretory pathways in neurons" Now on BioRxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Many thanks to @erikaholzbaur.bsky.social and @asapresearch.bsky.social

So proud of Adam Fenton and his work defining the role of FMRP in the local regulation of mitochondrial fission in neurons via local translation: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Company of Biologists @biologists.bsky.social is remarkable in its service to our community--this is just one example--check out their many opportunities and publish in their journals!

Out now: new work from our lab in press at Current Biology defining mechanisms leading to removal of damaged lysosomes by lysophagy: authors.elsevier.com/a/1k5Xe_LsQS...

Excited to share this new preprint from Sierra Palumbos, tracking the effects of dysfunctional autophagy in neurons: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
