beautiful work!! congrats to all the authors

I'm very excited to announce that UNC Biology has 6 faculty positions open this year! The first is for an Asst Professor who studies organismal resilience using an integrative approach 1/n unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/307...

couldn't agree more! and if you choose planarians, also patience and pain tolerance 😅

💫NEW: @telemanlab.bsky.social & co demonstrate that #AMPK can be activated by signaling metabolite, #adenosine, under non-stress conditions during #Drosophila development. The intestine regulates adenosine levels, thus, remotely controlling wing disc AMPK activation and growth. bit.ly/4gX6njF

The platypus is possibly the weirdest animal: it's a mammal but lays eggs, its duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed and venomous. It has electroreceptors for locating prey, eyes with double cones, no stomach, and 26 pairs of chromosomes. It's fluorescent and glows under UV light.

We are hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Biology at EMBL-EBI (Cambridge, UK). Focus: methods to study cell–cell communication from sc/spatial omics data (building on LIANA+ and NicheNet), in collab with @yvansaeys.bsky.social VIB/Ghent. Details & apply by 13/10/25: tinyurl.com/4shdw8dk
