Rebecka Sepela Wins Warren Alpert Distinguished Scholar Award in Neuroscience to Study How Microbes Shape Octopus Social Life 🧠 🧪🧬🔬 #AcademicSky #higherEd www.mcb.harvard.edu/department/n... @nbellono.bsky.social @rachellegaudet.bsky.social @naoshigeuchida.bsky.social @harvardbrainsci.bsky.social

With this win, the Bronx River Alliance proves we are not prisoners of Robert Moses's legacy @governor.ny.gov had the good sense to twice reject bureaucratic inertia in favor of community demands The fight for clean air and connected communities isn't over but then again it never is

One of my dream projects, ever since joining here in Basel, out now in @nature.com : single-cells 🤝 eco-morphological proxies rdcu.be/fiyso How cells and tissues adapt to dietary niches... Thanks and congrats to Antoine, Walter, and all the other co-authors for this great collaboration!! 🙏🥳

I am VERY disappointed to learn that the Gordon Research Conferences have capitulated to the fascists and ended their long standing "Power Hour" programs where we could speak together as a community about challenges and approaches to address the experiences of all

LIRR strike over. Details TK.

come work with me! we're hiring a transit data scientist to work directly on rail and transit issues Applications due 5/28, great benefits, even better coworkers, etc! calcareers.ca.gov/CalHrPublic/...

I will be working from my porch until further notice

does anyone have any testosterone proprionate??? my lab ordered our usual from Sigma in november and the shipping date keeps getting pushed. now it says june. i blame the lifestyle influencers... 😝

i went to space camp and it was a life-changing experience. i wonder what it is like now:

i wanna drive this on skyline blvd (CA SR-35).

Vibes in San Francisco were so great today 🌁 ❤️ Skipped B2B this year but seemed like all the best costumes migrated over to the @sfcityfc.com game.

Reupping this thread on the decades-long fight leading to this strike from a month ago (and then I'm going running) =>

Your time will come. 🗃️🎓

The genes controlling coat color are primarily extension (MC1R) & agouti (ASIP). Inactive MC1R in humans turn offs eumelanin, turns on pheomelanin, which produces red/yellow pigmentation. In foxes, a normal MC1R functioning produces red color, but an OVERACTIVE MC1R (via gain of function)...

We are again thankful for support on these projects from the National Institutes of Health. This is the crown jewel of public science in the world and we thank the public for supporting it and advocating for it /25

Fatima Erkenova (British, b. 1970). Where the storm touches light (2024, oil, acrylic, tempera, watercolor on wood).

Great coverage of our just published paper from Duke School of Medicine!

Many people have a vested interest in pretending otherwise, but the US research university is globally dominant to an almost unbelievable degree. The typical state university is a football team stapled to a R&D lab with a budget bigger than the entire nation of Belgium.

Biblically accurate cochlea

Incredible

frankly I have come to believe techies are illiterate. science fiction isn't about the future, stupid. it's about the current political situation but set in space so no one gets mad. duh!

BLAST-Align-Tree (BAT) does what it says on the tin: 1) finds homologs 2) aligns gene sequences 3) constructs a gene tree This is how you start any gene family analysis, but is still difficult to do from scratch or in genome portals. It's prohibitively hard in non-model species

One of my favorite scenes from the series. LIFE UNEARTHED with Ariel Waldman now streaming on PBS, Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. www.pbs.org/show/life-un... 🧪🦠 #scicomm

You want to see the best grants get funded? Serve on study section and make it happen!

We were all blown away last summer in Switzerland when @tuthill.bsky.social presented this work at the Sensation and Action conference.

If you're a transit psycho like me, then you might find this brilliant project by Jack Weiss just as satisfying as I do: it's a live music map of LA Metro Transit—every time a train arrives at a station, it plays ambient tones. It's absolutely wonderful metromusic.weisswideweb.com

gotta share the pizzicato five version of the lupin III theme www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGBL...

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Yuji Ohno. A legendary musician who was the heart & soul of most of the music of Lupin the Third for nearly 50 years will certainly live on as his music & themes will continue to be synonymous with the famous thief.

POSTDOC OPPORTUNITY!!! The Rutgers IRACDA program is phenomenal: 70% of postdoctoral fellows land faculty positions. Martha Soto (LinkedIn below) is the amazing director and leader of this program. Please apply or reach out if you have questions. www.linkedin.com/posts/martha...

On July 1st, I'll be joining the faculty at UC Berkeley, with a joint appointment in the Division of Molecular Therapeutics within MCB and the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute.

Please share widely. The new (simpler) MIRA R35 for Early Stage Investigators (ESI) NOFO is published. First due date is 10/2/2026. files.simpler.grants.gov/opportunitie...

Atherton. In my 20-ish years searching the Chronicle archive, the only constant is that Atherton and Atherton-adjacent attorneys are at the center of every other anti-housing, anti-transit, anti-infrastructure plan. I’m incapable of surprise at that city’s history of BS. “It’s Always Atherton”

I'm going to have a coronary if I see more Mixtape discourse that claims teenagers in the 90's weren't listening to stuff like Jesus & Mary Chain or Lush

When your cat looks in another direction for a minute and you're puzzled about what has their attention, that's when it's addressing the audience. If you read Garfield you'd understand that's the beat where it's thinking about something really funny, at your expense, making you look like an idiot

This must be one of the most delicious figures we have ever published. In this primer Guoan Zhou, Zhixi Tian and colleagues introduce the domestication history and biology odyssey soybean and its many uses. www.cell.com/current-biol...

FINALLY HR has the posting up for a postdoc opening in my lab ! Particularly interested in folks with electrophysiology, photometry, or behavioral experience. www.gwu.jobs/postings/125...

The origin story of eukaryotes has more plot twists than a Hollywood blockbuster! 🧵 Read more in my new review: doi.org/10.1146/annu.... Only in the 1960s were the terms "prokaryote" and "eukaryote" formalized! As originally defined, eukaryotes had complex architectures, prokaryotes did not.

THE PEOPLE CRAVE RELIABLE AND FAST PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

Flights of less than 350 miles should be a train ride. 🙃

EXCLUSIVE: A Long Island school district has settled a lawsuit with a former student for $125k after they erased her artwork in the school parking lot of a watermelon and a keffiyeh, both symbols of Palestinian solidarity. But what she really wanted—a public apology—ultimately eluded her. My story:

Thrilled to share that my abstract was selected for a 15-minute talk at #bog26 @cshlmeetings.bsky.social! I'll present our prairie & meadow vole assemblies using CiFi long reads, we built the first chromosome-scale diploid assemblies that fully resolve the Avpr1a duplication linked to pair bonding 🐭

I am hiring a PhD student to join our group in Lund, Sweden working on an ERC-funded project to untangle color and polarization vision in some amazing crustaceans – minute water fleas and pugnacious mantis shrimp! Please forward this to promising students. Apply here: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

Told my kid I was having the kind of week where I just need to scream into the void for a while. He made me a void. You can use it too, if you'd like.

It exists! I interviewed backup dancers, producers, the costume designer, the song’s producers who granted the rights, and so many more who were involved: web.archive.org/web/20240227...

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...
