🚀 As first official act, we are hiring! 🎓 We’re looking for a PhD student to work at the interface of computational biophysics, machine learning & human mutations. 📌 FPI fellowship, 4 years fully funded! More information here: www.bsc.es/join-us/job-...

If you’re applying to your dream lab for an internship/PhD/postdoc, always send a second email 1-2 weeks after the first one if you don’t hear back. I promise we will be grateful rather than annoyed. My email inbox is a disaster and I’m quite junior - and very few of us have secretarial support

🚨JOB ALERT🚨 FRIENDS PLEASE SPREAD and RT We are building a small expert team within the @bokelab.bsky.social at @crg.eu @prbb.org to investigate fundamental questions in oocyte cell biology, focusing on how proteostasis regulation influences dormancy and fertility. See below 2 calls👇

Today is a special day, some would call it the first of the rest of my life. I look forward to doing the same as before, from a different vantage point, trying to use what I have learnt to keep on learning. Thank you to all who have taught me. #NotInTheGenes #CellsRUs

Julio just saved us all many days of research for the next grant application. I wish some Bluskey posts had DOIs. This would definitely be most cited.

Asking BlueSky for help: For a review, I am trying to accurately credit the first paper that measured pairwise 3D distances between 2 pieces of DNA on the same chromosome (or cosmid). Is Trask 1989 the first? I know of earlier single-locus papers (1982). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Super excited that our latest work is out! We use optogenetics to dynamically control and study the formation of morphogen gradients. If you are interested in optogenetic tools and/or how cells shape and process extracellular signals, check out @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social's thread and the paper.

Very cool paper!!! Opto-patterning of neural progenitors!

Why do some #yeast cells handle stress like pros? Even with the same DNA, they react differently. A @natcomms.nature.com study by Drs. Francesc Posas & @laia-de-nadal.bsky.social shows some keep stress genes “on” at all times—ready to respond fast and survive. DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-57911-6 🧪🐡

My Friday night hot take is that replication studies are largely a waste of time & $ If a result is worth following up on, it's better to address from a different angle & see if it holds water. Strong ideas withstand this Conversely, there R infinite ways a replication can fail that teach you zip

We have a study comparing different HSC populations where the ATACseq signal is minimal (including footprint analyses), but the TF-target analysis predicts distinct TF activities... how would you validate - other than doing the actual TF perturbations? @saezlab.bsky.social @jbuenrostro.bsky.social
