SY-Stem 2026 is here! The symposium focusing on the next generation of stem cell researchers returns to the Vienna BioCenter from 11–13 March 2026. Register online: sy-stem.org

so many grand gestures welcoming US researchers - neglecting the fact that funding in Canada, Australia, Europe and China is already fiercly competitive. This is not the solution. #standupforscience

Stoked to have this perspective about my favorite organelle out in JCS! Give it a read, then let's argue!

@aidarodrigo.bsky.social looks like stiff (or should I say plush) competition for an axolotl colony at ToyTown…. #TeamRegeneration

One thing that's great about PRC is that it's leading to different experiments in re-structuring publishing processes based on community norms, so every approach is different. It's less reliant on openness as the dominant motivation and more on responding to how scholarly communities actually work.

So called microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) are not "organizing centers". They don't control their position (network center), nor MT orientation, length and shape (network shape). The actual organizers are MTs, molecular motors and regulators of MT +ends. MTOCs nucleate MTs. Let's rename MTOCs.

Our 53rd BSCB GenSoc UK Cilia Network e-symposium: JCS Special Issue on Cilia and Flagella was a smash hit! A staggering 🤩 435 participants 🤩 for outstanding and sometimes contentious takes on fantastic #cilia & #centrosome research. From 🇨🇱 Chile to 🇨🇳 China to the 🇨🇿 Czech Republic- #UKCilia2025 /1

#Cilia and #Centrosome friends- tomorrow is the big day!! 🎉 🎉 Organoids for #PCD, #CryoET of the base of motile cilia, TZ organization in #IRDs, macrophages & cystic niches in #PKD, how pro-inflammatory lipids & #adipogenesis AND cilia as signal-sending organelles shedding #EVs! 🤩 😍 Join us!!

And yes, the swag bags. Attendees received MAHA-branded tote bags with: - Packets of creatine - Beef tallow potato chips ($79 for a 6-pack!!) - Mouth tape - RFK Jr's biography - Beef protein bars

16 (! What?) years ago I went to my first ABRCMS and was welcomed and encouraged to pursue my scientific dreams. I met folks that provided direct feedback on my graduate school applications and served a pivotal role in my career. I am honored return and give back again as faculty. #ABRCMS2025

Key transcripts encoded centrin-like proteins, a frequent component of sensory/contractile structures in protists. We visualized tentacle ultrastructure by U-ExM with @dudinlab.bsky.social lab, discovering stunning tip and collar structures 🤯that add structural complexity to new tentacle formation.

Our lab is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow. The position is intentionally broad, as we are looking for outstanding researchers from diverse scientific backgrounds to advance our understanding of cilia and ciliopathies: academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/15526
