It was a lot of fun to have @dstrenkert.bsky.social from @msudoeplantlab.bsky.social visit us and present her research on Ferredoxins last week 🥰 @carnegiescience.bsky.social

Senior Group Leader Position

Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to join us at GMI as a permanent group leader! I am especially reaching out to all the incredible women who have made their mark in the field of plant biology, are outstanding community members and care about mentoring their junior colleagues. 1/2

To all students in the US seeking PhD positions and open to traveling overseas: you're on time for our Spring PhD Call at the Vienna Biocenter @viennabiocenter Apply here: training.vbc.ac.at/phd-programme/… by April 15 (23:59 CET). Please share this opportunity. No German required! 1/2

Oogenesis in humans typically starts 8-20 weeks post implantation. Spermatogenesis in humans typically starts at puberty.

So, technically, that Executive Order defines us all as asexual neuter.

Hope that helps.

It is true that mammals will develop towards the female body plan unless something intervenes to change that.

However, the EO claims to define sex by the production of large/small gametes at conception.

At conception, a human fetus isn't producing *any* gametes.

Check this out, maybe your last read of the year, or the first for the next one 📖?
We used Chlamydomonas 🦠 to push cellular tomography towards the next step and made all the data public!

BTW it's the same dataset I used for the mitochondrial respirasomes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Enjoy 🥳!

Towards community-driven visual proteomics with large-scale cryo-electron tomography of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii In situ cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has emerged as the method of choice to investigate structures of biomolecules in their native context. However, challenges remain in the efficient production...

More than 1'800 tomograms available for the community. Towards visual proteomics using our favorite organism Chlamy!

Check out the preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Find it on EMPIAR (11830) and fully annotated on the CZI data portal: cryoetdataportal.czscience.com

All - Bluesky Directory A curated collection of all things relating to the Blue Sky social media platform.

At last, there's a searchable directory of Bluesky starter packs, courtesy of @mubashariqbal.com! Just one more way third-party developers are helping to make this place better.

Search starter packs by keyword, and sort by "Uses" to see which ones people are finding the most helpful
