@mark-morgan.bsky.social kicking off NECB forum 2025 in Liverpool, funded by @bscb-official.bsky.social and external sponsors. Great schedule lined up in a really cool location - talks and posters presented in the Victoria Gallery & Museum 👌

We are sponsoring the North of England Cell Biology Forum in Liverpool on 18th Sept Register and submit your abstracts here: markmorgan60.wixsite.com/necb2025

Per Ljungdahl kicking off the 40th SMYTE meeting in beautiful Stockholm yesterday 😃 Programme looks brilliant, ready for a few days immersed in yeast transport 🤓

How do parasites strategically organise their genomes to influence gene expression? If you’re curious, check our latest review in @cp-trendsparasitol.bsky.social ! @biologyatyork.bsky.social @ybri-uoy.bsky.social @pasteur.fr www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

bioRxiv bat signal going up. We have a big backlog of submissions. If any affiliates have time to do some screening, we (and all the authors) would be immensely grateful! 🙏

In today's issue of Cell-->if you are looking for a good distraction from the news (who isn't), check it out! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

I’ll be presenting this work (and a bunch of unpublished data) at 2.45pm at the #yeast2025 conference 🤓 This collaboration with @merusadhu.bsky.social has also benefitted from the meeting, as we planned more experiments on the river last night 👌

1 month to abstract deadline for the first cell biology of the nucleus meeting at @embl.org in many years - organised by the stellar @luskinglab.bsky.social @sarawickstrom.bsky.social Tom Quail & Simone Koehler Tons of open slots, invited and selected speakers all get 20 mins ❤️ #EESNucleus

So lovely to connect with the inimitable Terry Cooper again at #yeast2025 - who’s just gearing up to present after a gruelling journey to the meeting! 🙌🙌🙌

As one might expect, standing room only for Sir Paul Nurse keynote seminar at #yeast2025 in Paris this evening. 👏 👏 👏

Kamilla Laidlaw, Hatwan Nadir, Chris MacDonald @yorkyeast.bsky.social and team @biologyatyork.bsky.social discover that killer toxin K28 resistance in yeast relies on COG complex-mediated trafficking of Ktd1. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... Article: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Travelling to my first ICYGMB meeting #yeast2025 in Paris - the programme looks amazing. premc.org/yeast2025/

go.bsky.app/8zZNEGV Great resource to connect early career folks with more senior scientists looking to hire postdocs! 🧪

We bought a shaking incubator for new pathogenic yeast work, but the tray came with holes lacking threads 😒 Luckily, Mark Bentley from our @biologyatyork.bsky.social workshop is a legend - he trimmed down the rack and secured it to the tray. 🔩🪛🙏🏼

Happy to have this work on the effectiveness of sulfamate based inhibitors on carbohydrate sulfatases out in @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas. #glycotime The summary is: Current sulfatase inhibitor technology is not effective on S1 carbohydrate sulfatases of the human colonic microbiota.

I spoke with authors/reviewers that had been part of the pilot during the biologists@100 meeting - they were extremely positive about the process. We also had great first experience with @biologyopen.bsky.social last year. Only issue with the model is mechanisms to cover APCs are vanishing.

- A postdoc to work on cancer extravasation (4-year project). - A postdoc help in completing Filopodia-related lab projects (2-year). - Multiple Marie Curie postdoc positions that will open in the fall. - We will open a 5-year position to cover my teaching (70% research and 30% teaching).

Returned from the UK-Japan Frontiers of Science conference to be confronted with this terrifying effigy on my lab bench!

Q for the hive-mind 🧠: What transfection reagents do people like for big constructs these days? (I am thinking #HSV encoding BACs, ~170 kb). We've recently had poor performance with Trans-IT LT1 and Lipofectamine 2000, our two go-tos. Target cells are U2OS. Suggestions or RTs greatly appreciated 🙏

The UK-Japan frontiers of science meeting @royalsociety.org is this week - amazing line up of speakers covering very broad research themes 😀

As April comes to a close, we wanted to share updates for the first quarter of 2025!!

Tired of waiting months for peer review? So were we. Fast & Fair delivers reviews + decisions in 7 business days. It works—and here’s the data: bit.ly/4iZ30st #biologists100 @biologyopen.bsky.social

Another cracking day in Liverpool for #biologists100 conference. So many good talks and interactions already 😎 Enjoyed an after dinner tour of the city last night, from local legends: Sylvie Urbé snd Mike Clague 😃

We are excited to welcome everyone to Liverpool for this week’s Biologists @ 100 conference. We will posting across our social media channels all week and you can follow the action at #biologists100

It was awesome to hear about the amazing progress you’ve already made with your fellowship - lots of exciting results in the pipeline 😎 Thanks for visiting!

The #TeamTomo Chlamy dataset is updated and better than ever. Check it out! Many thanks @lifeonthewedge.bsky.social for being such a great caretaker of these 1829 community tomograms 🧪🔬🧶🧬

32nd International Conference of Yeast Genetics and Molecular Biology #yeast2025 📌 #yeast #microbiology #yeastbiology #biomol

Cool idea! I guess there will be loads of entries across the field. This will be easy for me, as @biologists.bsky.social: 1. Published my first paper as a PhD student (2009) and first as a PI (2021). 2. Supported the first meeting I organised. 3. Interviewed me about Open Access. 😁

One of the Earth's greatest treasures of biodiversity is rapidly dying, ignored by politicians, hidden beneath the waves. It's painful, but we must bear witness. Don't look away. 🧪🌏🌊🪸

One week left to submit an abstract for the @biologists.bsky.social 100 meeting incorporating the @bscb-official.bsky.social & @bsdb.bsky.social annual meetings in Liverpool in March! Don't miss out on an amazing lineup of invited speakers - scan the QR code for the full list

You can pay $49 for an AI summary of your work futurism.com/springer-nat... or just get one for free on bioRxiv ;-) connect.biorxiv.org/news/2023/11...

Yorkies - created new list to keep abreast of who has made the switch...(let me know if you want adding) bsky.app/profile/gavi...

We want you to work with us! Lecturer / Senior Lecturer in Biological Sciences: bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de...

This is going to be a great meeting! Don’t miss it 👌

Many academics point to bioRxiv as “the one thing improving science publishing”. If so, the one thing you all can do is persuade colleagues to submit and make this a norm. 1/2

🧪The deadline to submit an abstract for oral and poster presentations at our Biologists @ 100 conference has been extended to Friday 17 January 2025. View the abstract topics and submit yours at 100yearsconference.biologists.com/abstracts/ #biologists100

Hot off the presses today is the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy. I read it so you don’t have t…Just kidding. You should still read it in full if you do NIH funded research. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... Some highlights in the thread below

New Year, new job? Delighted to announce two early-career-level (post-BA/BS or MA) positions in my lab, and an open call for computational postdocs at the Broad! First, an image analysis associate - work on high content screens for all kinds of cells and dimensionalities! See more at link (1/4)

Only two days left to apply for this amazing opportunity to join Siân’s lab at Kings. Interested in data analysis, microscopy and working with an awesome PI? One not to miss 🔬 💻

Just maybe my proudest achievement will be #TheMicroscopists podcast which highlights the scientists themselves, and not just their amazing science. Revealing their hobbies and passions, their best and most difficult times. Be inspired: bit.ly/the-microsco... and please share

#UKMT was sponsored by #bscb @biologists.bsky.social & @jcellsci.bsky.social There wasn’t a bad talk throughout the whole day, but the prize winners are: Best postdoc talk prize - Alex Van Vilet Best PhD student talk prize - Katy Yalci Congratulations!!! 🥳

Finally, to finish #UKMT2024: plenary seminar from Daniel St Johnston! Tackling the complexity of polarised secretion in epithelial cells (not easy). Beautiful imaging combined with the RUSH system in Drosophila follicle cells, showing different Golgi trafficking routes of distinct cargoes.

Next up #UKMT2024, more endosomes (yay) 🤓 Shubhangi Sharma from Jitu Mayor’s lab with some great insights into how membrane tension drives less conventional endocytic processes and @agudocanalejo.bsky.social showing cool bending and scission of endosomal membranes driven by condensates.

Entering the final session of #UKMT2024 chaired by @jezcarlton.bsky.social (who now cannot live-tweet / live-sky). Starting with George Bates from Frances Brodsky's lab, talking about alternative splicing of clathrin and trafficking of GLUT4 from an evolutionary perspective.

Yes, #UKMT2024 organised by Chris Stefan and @jezcarlton.bsky.social - the perfect antidote to those with FOMO from ASCB. Already some amazing research talks 👏👏👏 looking forward to the next sessions!

Annual trip to the pre-Christmas membrane trafficking meeting 🥱 Lots of good talks lined up!

I wrote some thoughts about why peer review matters It shapes scientific standards, maintains field coherence & trains new researchers Yes, it needs improvement—but it's the glue that holds scientific progress together briscoelab.org/2024/12/11/i...

Fully funded 4-year PhD (Oct 2025 entry). This PhD seeks to understand the fundamental principles of membrane remodelling in photosynthetic organisms. Open to international applications. Deadline 6th January. More details: tinyurl.com/mtvwu3h8
