Very excited to share our preprint showing S-acylation (aka Palmitoylation) of TDP-43, VCP, SQSTM1, FUS & C9Orf72 in Huntington Disease (HD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), & Multisystem Proteinopathy (MSP). This tour de force was led by @firyalrphd.bsky.social! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

#JNeurosci Review | Perry and Martin discuss the links between ALS and Huntington Disease, highlighting two proteins that potentially contribute to the onset and progression of these neurodegenerative diseases. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0263-25.2026

Thrilled to share our recent review in @sfnjournals.bsky.social ALS and Huntington Disease: Unraveling the Connections between TDP-43 and Huntingtin. Here we discuss links between HD & ALS. Review & cover art come from the multitalented MSc student @cailyncreative.bsky.social tinyurl.com/57y6hjrd

If you want to see our research promoted like it's a sports event go to the 1h13min mark: www.upliftingathletes.org/young-invest... It was really cool to hear our work described this way.

Save the Date for the next @csmb-scbm.bsky.social meeting: Membrane Proteins in Health & Diseases April 8-12, 2026 in beautiful Banff! Looks like there's something for everyone. event.fourwaves.com/2026csmb/pages

✨ The Bernhardt Lab at the University of Guelph is recruiting graduate students for 2026! Join us! We have several fully funded grad positions available ✨ Please spread the word! www.bernhardtlab.org/join-us #CSEE2025

Had the privilege to attend the Satellite meeting for Future Leaders In Canadian Brain Research held by @braincanada.bsky.social Got to hear updates from some amazing early career researchers!

All days should be WFH days according to Ruby. Although she wants more pets and less proofing of manuscripts & grading.

New science couple unlock. Today @drssfs.bsky.social & I had papers accepted! Shaun happens to also be a co-author on the paper from my lab. So, double congrats to her. Also, my paper is my greatest academic albatross. So, I'm pleased to have this out!

The Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Guelph is at it again! Continuing our cluster hires with tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in Immunology and Virology (1 position each)! careers.uoguelph.ca/job/Guelph-A... careers.uoguelph.ca/job/Guelph-A...

Hey all you lipid freaks, join me & other lipid obsessed people talk about protein lipidation! If you've never attended, first drink is on me or @pjenkinslab.bsky.social Roles and regulation of protein lipidation in health and disease 27-29 August 2025 Exeter College, Oxford @biochemsoc.bsky.social

Was quite the experience to visit our old postdoc department being on the other side of the lunch table during the career session & having trainees ask us about our career paths. Thanks again to Gareth Thomas for inviting us. @drssfs.bsky.social followed up with an excellent talk of course.

The NeurdyPhagy Lab is in Montreal talking all about palmitoylation in ALS MND. Stop by our posters & say hi. @jesuisyasmeena.bsky.social @cailyncreative.bsky.social

Vacation Ruby. It's been a ruff day (we got scooped on a big story), but Ruby always makes it better (for context, we had charcuterie for dinner & two of those pics are of her trying to go under the table).
