Can you help us find guests for the Night Science Podcast? We received generous sponsorship from Research Theory and they're challenging us to host 5 scientists each working in flight, genomics, nuclear power, computing & space. Ideas?

Avi Loeb!
Hi Henry, welcome to UTSW and congrats on the new position! Will be so cool to have you around
hi @zebrafishrock.bsky.social community! Who of my friends am I going to see at ZDM18 in Boston next week?!? Excited!
My recent postdoctoral work is out today in @nature.com! We found that physical confinement makes melanoma cells more invasive and drug tolerant. Thanks to all who made this work possible @whitefishlab.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social #NIH #NCI www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Females are larger than males. How? Here is one solution- they have MORE nuclei in their flight muscles and grow LARGER heart and fat body cells with MORE ribosomal mRNAs. Fun collaboration of @jeromeavellaneda.bsky.social with @soumitrakp.bsky.social & Brian Oliver www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
I am delighted to announce that the UW Department of Biochemistry has opened searches for TWO tenure-track positions.
Descriptions and links in the following two posts.
Big day for our team: our pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) organoid paper is now up on bioRxiv!
This was a tour de force across 6 institutions, 37 authors, building patient-derived organoids from 35 PPGL patients /🧵

This @nightsciencepod.bsky.social episode with Martin Schwartz was so awesome!
The idea to toss all the "ego" aspects of science (including worries/insecurities about career prospects) and follow the curiosity/passion path to do your best work is something I strive for every day.
What an exciting announcement! Best of luck to @itaiyanai.bsky.social and Martin Lercher on this new endeavor. The cultural shift is much needed. I am on board!

🎉 Congrats to postdoc Horacio Martín Pallarés on being named a 2025 @pewtrusts.org Latin American Fellow!
His work in the @bazzinilab.bsky.social (a 2010 PEW Fellow) investigates how #Zika & #dengue viruses hijack host cells.

I keep getting more and more followers here but i think they are mostly bots, right?
Congrats Kolade and team!
To celebrate the summer, our ReSCU-Net paper is out @jcb.org !! Work led by our dungeon master @ray-hawkins.bsky.social, developing a novel neural network architecture and applying it to explore the role of gap junctions in embryonic wound healing in #Drosophila 🧪.

This already happened and I wasnt on top of posting 😅
Thankful for the great opportunity to share my work at @bppbseminar.bsky.social .This is such an engaging and fun community and seminar series, highly recommend! Stay tuned for a recording (they are also on top of their youtube channel!).
Time to find creative new ways to fund science!
Very cool work using zebrafish model to bring new insight into pediatric cancer initiation! Congrats @jackkucinski.bsky.social @kendalllab.bsky.social and team!
Very cool thread on something I knew very little about!
Ha! I agree!
what is it?
Such cool work! Check out this recent paper by my colleague @jamieson-ai.bsky.social et al. with immediate real-world impact!
REMINDER: Last chance to submit a scientific picture or art of a embryos, stem cells or organoids to the YEN Image Competition. Deadline is 1st May!

Benny was my PhD mentor. Infectious enthusiasm and burning curiosity is exactly right. He was such a great mentor to me and many others and he will be sorely missed.
יהיה זכרו ברוך. May his memory be a blessing.
Hey @drlizhaynes.bsky.social Thanks for representing!
(Not tattooed myself but respect the art of self expression :))

NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀
Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯
A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛
Let's dive in! 🧵👇 1/x
