Great to see that our mosquito cell atlas is now out in Cell. Amazing work from @oliviagoldman.net and @nadavshai.bsky.social to organise so much data and so many interesting stories into a single paper!

Excited to team up with CSU East Bay for Connections Week (Nov 4-8)! ➡️ lrubio12.wordpress.com/event… 11/5, @latinodeciencia.bsky.social leads a virtual workshop on applying to summer research & grad school (open to all!) 🎓 11/4, @oliviagoldman.net joins the Paths into Mind & Brain Careers panel! 🧠

What does mating look like when you only have a single shot at getting it right? Very excited to share our work on an almost-invisible female control, rapidly evolving mating recognition systems, and species that break the rules and take over the world. IN MOSQUITOES>

A real game-changer for the mosquito community - all packed in a beautiful paper!!!!

🦟 The mosquito is the most deadly animal in the world. The Mosquito Cell Atlas is an incredible new resource to help us understand more about their ability to transmit pathogens to humans. Data is available on the UC Santa Cruz @genomebrowser.bsky.social at mosquito.cells.ucsc.edu

Mosquito cell atlas is now published! Congratulations to @nadavshai.bsky.social and @oliviagoldman.net and the many other collaborators that contributed to this resource. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Excited to announce the final version of the Mosquito Cell Atlas is out now in @cellpress.bsky.social!! 🦟🩸 There is SO much left to find & investigate in this dataset (& the rich biology of the Aedes aegypti mosquito)! We hope this helps scientists in many fields! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

We had a blast at #ASV2025 in Montréal! 🦠🍁 Our co-founders @latinodeciencia.bsky.social & @oliviagoldman.net: 🔹 Led a workshop on culture, communication & mentorship 🔹 Spoke on a panel about shifting cultural & funding landscapes Big thanks to the organizers & everyone who came!

Please share with NYC-based undergraduates!

More 1st year grad students unable to find a lab because of funding shortages in rotation-based programs. #fundingcuts What advice would you give to an incoming 1st year to try avoid this?

As we reach the end of #PrideMonth we must remember that for some scientists, just being themselves in the lab can be a daunting experience 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @oliviagoldman.net of @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social shares why openness is vital for science: ow.ly/wNQ050Whrbj #Pride #prideinSTEM #outinSTEM

Congratulations to the newest cohort of Schmidt Science Fellows!! 🥳

Had such a great time representing the peripheral nervous system at today’s symposium!

What this administration is teaching Universities is that even if you comply - punish students for protests, ban masks, remove DEI from websites and classes - they will still defund you and try to break you apart. Basically, there is no point in complying.

Tufekci starts her second paragraph stating that people who brought up a lab leak were labeled “kooks” or “cranks”. Let me tell you, when I brought up that possibility, neither the head of the NIH, NIAID, or Wellcome thought I was a crank. Instead, they encouraged me to investigate further.

“Even during the McCarthy period in the United States, this was not done.” apnews.com/article/colu...

“Once it becomes normal for the regime to disappear people simply for protest against the regime’s policies, once a citizen or a resident of America can be locked away with no charges against them, simply because they protested, there is no going back for America.” - Sen. Chris Murphy

Mosquito cell atlas! Congratulations on an incredibly ambitious and well executed project @oliviagoldman.net @nadavshai.bsky.social @leslievosshall.bsky.social et al !!!

BIG NEWS! The Mosquito Cell Atlas preprint is live! 🦟🧬 My first senior author paper! Massive and accessible snRNA-seq dataset and a lot of cool mosquito biology. A true collaborative achievement! #MCA biorxiv.org/content/10.1... See @oliviagoldman.net thread here

A mosquito cell atlas www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... ht @leslievosshall.bsky.social

I am thrilled to present the Mosquito Cell Atlas! We analyzed 367K nuclei from 19 tissues in male & female mosquitoes, creating a comprehensive resource for vector biology & infectious disease research. Plus we made some surprising discoveries! 🦟🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/n

Now is the time to engage with the people close to you who aren't scientists and explain what is happening, why it's essential to care, and why they should speak up in support of science. Here is what I've been doing 👇

I created a brief spreadsheet of reductions I've heard of so far. Any additions you know of (especially if you have the links/receipts) would be great: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Does anyone have a preferred anti-GFP primary antibody? I'm currently using this one from Invitrogen: www.thermofisher.com/antibody/pro... However, it gives me a high background and non-specific staining in my sliced tissue sections. Does anyone have other recommendations? #neuroskyence

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

I wrote a piece about a certain flavor of academic abuse. I have carried parts of this story for upwards of 25 yrs, & I’m grateful to @chronicle.com for helping me to tell it. #AcademicSky #HigherEd #PHDchat www.chronicle.com/article/what...

From student-run grassroots org... to a non-profit helping 100s of students yearly from underrepresented backgrounds & compensating folks for important work towards making academia equitable. It's only possible w/ your support! If you value our work, please consider donating 🙏
