📣 Deadline Extended! 📆 Abstract submissions for the WIA Symposium Webinar are now due Friday, Sept 19. Don’t miss your chance to showcase your work to the autophagy community! 👇Submit here: forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Our first extraordinary biologist featured this week is Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, a @jcellsci.bsky.social Editor, @focalplane.bsky.social Scientific Advisory Board member and plenary speaker at the Biologists @ 100 conference. #biologists100 #100biologists

Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, who died on August 24, 2016. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more! #FluorescenceFriday www.nature.com/articles/nme...

Happy to share my first publication, where we present our discovery of multi-chaperone condensates that orchestrate protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations @cohenlaboratory.bsky.social, @ibudin.bsky.social and all the 2025 ASCB award winners! This is a major achievement!

We're thrilled to announce the largest private gift in our 137-year history: a $25 million unrestricted donation from MBL Whitman Scientist Mark Terasaki. His extraordinary generosity will bolster our renowned research and education programs. 🔬 Learn more: bit.ly/452WL1m

#Golgi folks, cannot miss this!

What do you see when you stare at this grid of line segments: a series of rectangles, or a series of circles? The way you perceive this optical illusion may tie back to the visual environment that surrounds you, a recent preprint suggests. scim.ag/4kTxbmd

Gave a talk at my parents’ retirement community to describe how science is done, and what is at stake. There was a ton of interest, and anyone can do this. Get the word out about how science affects everyone. I’m happy to share slides with anyone who asks- just get in touch! youtu.be/BY_SFgi-Cig

tinyurl.com/mrce6bbb Fun to write this N&V together with Regina @hrshin.bsky.social, on the several cryoEM papers that build on her discovery of the fascinating LYCHOS protein and its role in cholesterol sensing and mTORC1 regulation!

Interested in chemical mechanisms of membrane proteins ?We have an opening for postbac fellows. Please share and repost. Thanks ! Our research focuses on understanding the chemical and cellular mechanisms of integral membrane enzymes and transition metal transporters. bit.ly/42jWXYD. /n

Visiting Cambridge/Oxford/London w/ @sim0nredfern.bsky.social to connect w/ potential applicants for Nanyang Assistant Professorship (NAP) @ NTU SG. NAP offers tenure-track position w/ up to S$2.75M start-up. Join us and register at one of our recruitment events 👇 www.ntu.edu.sg/science/rese...

Happy Golgi Day!! I’m celebrating in the lab!

This is a well written spotlight piece by Xin Xiang @xianglab.bsky.social highlighting a new discovery by Aquino et al in McNally lab. It describes a novel mechanism by which the kinesin-1-driven inward organelle packing pushes the spindle out towards the cortex. Interesting mechanism and biology!

Exciting discovery by Aakriti Jain @aakritijain.bsky.social et al of the @robzonculab.bsky.social lab that LyLAP processively and rapidly proteolyses membrane-spanning hydrophobic domains of transmembrane proteins!

Hey #scisky has anybody made the move to FBS substitutes for their research and is happy??? I soon may need a grant just to fund lab FBS 😭

Good to know!!

Cool work by Jeppesen et al of the Dylan Burnette Lab @mag2art.bsky.social demonstrating and characterizing a whole new actor in the complex world of cells: blebbisomes.

Assistant Teaching Professor at Ball State University Muncie, IN

Can’t miss!

Please welcome Contact: The Journal of Inter-Organelle Communication @contactctc.bsky.social to Bluesky!

Very easy to use. I’m sharing this with my family!

Excited to share our latest work! We found kinesin Kar3 is required for ER protein quality control. This 10-yr project involved 78 students, including undergrad & master's students in my lab & students enrolled in CURE I helped design, & 2 excellent colleagues. www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/...

This speaks to my experience. Beautiful advice!

Co-wrote w/ Rohini this hopefully easily understandable article @thehindu.com on curiosity driven research w/ the worm, its many contributions to scientific advances, including several Nobels. 🙏🏾 @1amnerd.bsky.social & Upendra Kulkarni for editing www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/sci...

Weekend viewing! Chaperones, PQC, proteostasis. Thanks, @paolodelosrios.bsky.social

Congratulations to @lorenabenedetti.bsky.social and colleagues @jls_lab.bsky.social for this beautiful work revealing the role for periodic ER-PM junctions in propagating long range Ca²⁺ signaling along dendrites.

Hello #Lysosomes Subgroup Attendees #CellBio2024 @ascbiology.bsky.social! I’m thrilled with the outcome. The speakers were 🔥, the puns were ridiculous 🤡, and the audience brought the energy! Please find our session in the App and click on the clipboard symbol to rate it.

I’m so excited to be here at #cellbio2024! I cannot wait to attend the Lipids in Organelle Form and Function session today at 1:45 in Room 29C. Plus the added bonus of the happy hour.

We have a lineup of outstanding speakers 😍 for this year’s conference 👇. Please share the poster with your network to spread the word 📢!

I highly recommend this welcoming and inclusive meeting of ER Investigators! I attended this meeting in 2023 when it was co-chaired by Carolyn Sevier and Guillaume Thibault @gthibault.bsky.social and instantly built a network of colleagues that I continue to exchange ideas with today!

I am new to BlueSky but found this starter pack to be useful to find my folks in #cellbiology, #MembraneTrafficking, #lysosomes #ER #Golgi. .

Arise, UPR & ISR scientists ! I will have missed many, so please tag below go.bsky.app/8VzRKLW

***Help needed*** I’m making a list of ongoing webinar series in #cellbio, please help me find others that I’m missing! So far, I have: - Membrane trafficking - Intermediate filaments - Mito Talks/Chats - Motors in quarantine - Fragile nucleosome - Mito911 Webinar Series

I’m so excited to organize the #Lysosomes Subgroup at @ASCBiology 2024 meeting on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 3:15pm, Room 33B. Lysosomes naturally lend themselves to puns. So…Don’t be 𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒄. Join us for fresh, 𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈-edge talks and puntastic times. It will 𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 if you miss it.
