I actually read this all as one line in the email "Campus annual electrical shutdown: the existential threat to the US Rule of Law and democracy and how to counter it". I mean it's inconvenient and puts my lab equipment at risk, but this seemed like an over-reaction.

Research Technician Research Technician position available in the Grienberger lab at Brandeis University. We are a new neuroscience group studying the cellular basis of learning and memory in the mammalian brain. This is...

We’re looking for a new Research Tech! Our research tech is heading to graduate school (very exciting!), which means we’re recruiting someone new to join our team. The position involves hands-on neuroscience research in a collaborative environment.

Cells come in many shapes and sizes, with diverse physiological functions. But how do #organelles and their interaction networks remodel during #differentiation of stem cells into different cell types? Here’s what we discovered about neuronal differentiation: 1/13

This kind of shit gives me white hot rage. Go back to your cave.

Mixed reviews..... My senior student "host" came to join me on their couch. Frankly this did not feel awesome to me, even in the wacky 90s.

Ooh enjoy!!!

@ascbiology.bsky.social 's Women in Cell Biology (WICB) has yet another fantastic event today at 4pm, room 126A. A networking panel on "Thriving in Uncertain Times: Navigating Career and Funding Challenges". #cellbio2025.

Method applied to data from Kasthuri et al (2015)

We take advantage of the characteristic geometries of dendritic spines--their saddle-like necks and bulbous heads--to eliminate (or at least significantly decrease) the need for the painstaking work of manual image segmentation.

#cellbio2025 The Women in Cell Biology (WICB) Committee has put together some truly fantastic events for this year’s meeting! We can’t wait for you to check them out:

Today, our animation synthesizing decades of research on actin-mediated endocytosis in budding yeast was published:

Are you an early-stage graduate student (2nd or 3rd year) or early-stage postdoc based in the US or Canada, working primarily in Drosophila? Would you like to help improve the experience of all trainees working in Drosophila research? If so, read on.

I’m here too!!! But hanging out with parental units. Hi!!!!!

Donate to Paul Maddox for Congress in NC 11 Paul is running for Congress because there’s a sickness in Washington, and no one is working to cure it.

Dear all, A scientist from UNC Chapel Hill, Paul Maddox, is running for congress in NC for a seat currently held by a republican. If you care about science (and democracy) please consider donating to his campaign #Standupforscience secure.actblue.com/donate/paul-...

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

A university that signs the “compact” is one that acknowledges its own inability to compete and succeed based talent and merit. It would signal insecurity and mediocrity to current and future students and faculty. Say no. Recruit the best people, protect their freedom and support their hard work.

Despite the mess, we are grateful to be funded, have exciting science happening, and have an opening for a postdoc!

If you are interested in sensory biology and esp in cilia, thermosensation, or interoception, and would like to join an interactive & supportive group - please email.

Please RT 🙏

Glad to hear it!!

very satisfying to see these structures 27 years after first grappling with the Aip1-cofilin mechanism as a beginning graduate student!

The Trump administration’s approach to autism is tangled up with ableism, eugenics, and pronatalism “The current political establishment and their supporters have consistently pathologized difference,” particularly when it comes to autism, a professor of medicine writes.

The New York Times piece today about US science is terrible and wrong—in many ways.

I could write a whole article about this, but as one example:

“To close observers, the original crisis began well before any of this…”
No. I’m a close observer of science, and this is incorrect.
