From MBoC…
Now accepting submissions for the Cell Biology of the Nervous System special issue. Share your research on nervous system cell biology with the community: https://www.molbiolcell.org/nervous-system/
Yikes! glad you are ok.
It's never ending, right? Hugs
Our first cancer biology preprint is up! TRIM9 switches melanoma cell phenotypes. First author @klukasik.bsky.social has taken the lab into new directions for sure in a fun collaboration with @coronin.bsky.social. We can't wait to hear what you think.

Postdoc job alert in the Crick Institute in London. Are you interested in the actin cytoskeleton? I am looking for a postdoc to examine the cellular, developmental or physiological role of Arp2/3 iso-complex driven actin polymerisation. Multiple aspects available.

damn, this is heartbreaking.
my meeting was 12/17. still no payment.
oh dang, I didn't realize they were going to cut our promised $400 to $200, I still reviewed the same # of grants (and actually read them more this time, end of october cancelled, again before reviews submitted the second time two weeks before study section, and then again for meeting)
actually still haven't received it....even though it did get rescheduled and happened > 1 month ago. have emailed twice. i mean, we all know that $400 is not much for the amount of work it is, but on principle they owe me that $400.
a wonderful tribute to an amazing scientist
Another life has been lost at the hands of Trump’s masked agents. Their violence is unacceptable and un-American. Our leaders must put an end to ICE’s reign of terror and its cruelty.
and does the myncbi link show up anywhere?
I'm working on my biosketch in ScienCV, and apparently the form has changed since i worked on it last year. Sigh. Also, Am i correct that we can refer to only 10 pubications in the entire biosketch. there cannot be 4 new publications for each of the 5 contributions?
The current situation of NIH science is a tragedy. So much was lost in 2025. Many of us are struggling to keep afloat. I only hope that in 2026 more people wake up to the fact that USA science has been deeply damaged. We are resilient, but we are in grave danger of losing ourselves./end
My lab in the NIH Intramural Program (Bethesda, MD) will be recruiting postdoctoral fellows over the next year with flexible start dates. We work on nanoscale cellular imaging of the plasma membrane and related organelles. Please reach out if you’re interested. www.training.nih.gov/jobs/pdp-053...
She let me know that they recently received guidance that, ONLY for the January EI deadline (1/27/2026) and the February ESI deadline (2/3/2026), PIs can submit MIRAs even if their previous application (R35, R01, R15, R21, and R37) is still considered under review.
How many tries before it suggests a speaker who is female ? Just curious? Or a non white person?
Great to see you! You definitely passed me! Sorry I missed Zoe!
As a perpetual Wolfpack fan…. I’ll join you.
So if there is concensus, we should vote one out of range just to separate %? And also they are over the last three meetings, right?
From MBoC… Dorothy Lerit (Emory University) shows how cells choreograph RNA delivery to their division centers—keeping the process of cell division precise and on time.

Shutting the office door and let scream/cry commence.
After shutdown guidance:
As of today, we can confirm that we will be rescheduling all October and November grant application submission deadlines (specific dates to be announced in a future Notice).
Beginning of shutdown guidance:
For the duration of the funding lapse, applicants should continue to submit applications in accordance with the due dates outlined in the Notices of Funding Opportunities. Applications will be accepted and reviewed once operations resume.
So wait, the previous notice said to submit all grants by deadline, and now they are changing that and re-opening?
I redid mine at 3:00!
Wait do I need to redo my letter to serif font?
Screenshots of official watermarked transcript?
Oh no! I hope someone has an answer! What a nightmare.
Whoa! This so such a mess
