The conservative bias of life scientists: not everything needs to be about humans, and not everything needs to be conserved to be interesting/ important www.cell.com/current-biol...

The elves have been busy.

An important question is, who is citing those papers? Should it be considered misconduct to not even check whether what you are citing *exists*?

As 2025 comes to a close, my university (Dalhousie U in Halifax, Canada) is recruiting faculty, including outstanding early career researchers, and Canada Research Chairs. Applications are due January 19 2026 (was just notified today!). Please repost.

If you're (1) into nhp neurophysiology and/or biological motor control, (2) a foreign big shot and (3) interested in moving here, please reach out -- this new program looks extremely attractive (min. $8M over 8y)! www.uwo.ca/research/can...

UBC and BC Cancer are recruiting a cancer stem cell faculty member at the Associate Professor or Professor rank for the new Connie Eaves Chair in Cancer Stem Cell Research. A great position recognizing a giant in the field. Please share. #Vancouver ubc.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ubcfac...

It's a great feeling to select "Accepted" for a manuscript right before the holidays. @febsj.bsky.social

RIP Rob Reiner.

Another great resource for the worm pickers.

Revised paper and letter of intent for grant submitted. Time for a 🍺.

Curious what my French Canadian friends think about mushroom gravy on poutine. 🤣

Great resource for the worm community.

Finishing the final edits of your manuscript.

Great seminar today from Pedro Miura on alternative polyadenylation in Drosophila and mammalian neurons.

Had a great visit with Ádám Miklosi in Budapest about their Gifted Dogs (G-Dogs!) program... 😊 These are VERY CLEVER bois and girls!!! 🐶 www.scientificamerican.com/article/dogs...

This sounds like reduction to the lowest common denominator. The only way to fix peer review is to fix publishing. Such as boycott journals that do desk rejection for anything else than lack of soundness. If this were so I and many other would be less reluctant to spend time reviewing.

RIP Steve Cropper.

#Celegans adapts to starvation & other stressors by transiting through the quiescent #dauer stage, but how? This study shows that TOR activity is inhibited by AMPK & a novel RNA-binding helicase in the #GermLine during dauer, preserving developmental quiescence @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/48NEHvc

“There were no cervical cancer cases diagnosed in women aged <25 years in 2021 – the first time that this has occurred in data going back to 1982. This remarkable achievement is almost certainly due to the impact of HPV vaccination.” From report.cervicalcancercontrol.org.au #vaccinationsaveslives

RIP Rogue brewery.

I third this advice.

Read this inspiring perspectives coauthored by the Worm Resource directors and worm Nobel Laureates! 4 Nobel Prizes and how they were enabled by major NIH-supported research resources (the Caenorhabditis Genetics Center, WormBase, and WormAtlas) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work on induced proximity 🤜🤛 and functional genomics! Join our team in Toronto 🇨🇦 to tackle major challenges in oncology and neurodegeneration. www.nature.com/naturecareer...
