🚨 New preprint from the lab! 🚨 Transcriptomic profiling identifies cellular and molecular transitions during Merkel cell regeneration www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

the republicans are wide open on several fronts, historically unpopular president, unpopular war, record high gas. any dem throwing trans people under the bus at this moment is doing it because they want to. not like they need to, do they. even if it worked as a vote winner, which it doesn't

One of these days I'll nab a top 5 spot... congrats to the winners! www.nikonsmallworld.com/galleries/20...

I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety & audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say we get to go home to our families. The victims are the Palestinian people" tinyurl.com/3cbfkw22

This is why we love #CellMigratuon ! This beautiful story is now out, very interesting role for RhoA and also the cover, Neutrophils on the 'Rho'ad Congrats to all authors, especially to former colleagues and friends Full @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

big change to my material conditions: I am a bike commuter now. I will be updating my transportation opinions dialectically (I am already 27% more opinionated about bike lanes and our school crossing guard comrades)

A bit melodramatic from the TrainingPeaks sales department

The NIH just released a proposal that will apparently hide peer reviewers’ impact scores and percentiles from the research team, their institution, and NIH program officers. All the better to obscure how funding decisions will be made primarily via political review, I’m guessing.

El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"

New favorite way to color code microscopy data: this is a real 3D confocal image of an unidentified larvae stained for actin (muscles fibers here). Looks like a watercolor painting! #microscopy #ImageJ #FluorescenceFriday #microscopyMonday

The American Diabetes Association appears not to have learned their lesson the first time around (below). Now they've blocked publication of an editorial about this event that was slated for publication in the same journal, Diabetes Care, this week. But here it is. You know what to do.

Yeah we’re never winning shit

Ball don't lie

Yelled louder for that cape verde goal than I have for any USA goals so far, let's go sharks

i did a triple take at this line. the university of michigan apparently jeopardized a grad student's status and got him detained by ICE for almost a month on this basis, which i can only convey to non-academic folks as "absolute horse shit"

denying a visa to the man who imitates a statue of a man we assassinated

fluorescence fun with photoconversion new-ish adult zebrafish trunk skin immune cells in cyan, older photoconverted ones in magenta (and cyan, too, if you look closely)

We are thrilled to announce our new preprint from the wonderful @sorayavillaseca.bsky.social Ever wondered how cells squeeze through tiny spaces in embryos? Neural crest cells use Dynein to transport their nucleus along microtubules. Check out the preprint!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Happy #fluorescencefriday (and start of vacation!) to all those who are celebrating Lifeact-labeled epidermal stem cells closing a wound after in vivo adult zebrafish skin injury

Not all Denocrats are the same. Governor Sherrill‘s troopers dispersed protesters with riot gear and tear gas. Call her at 609-292-6000. I’ll stand up for neighbors and human rights, and work to abolish and replace ICE. Vote in the NJ-12 primary, Tuesday June 2. SamForNJ.org

For anyone who is a scientist or has benefitted from basic research on model organisms (that's EVERYONE), please take the time to leave a comment about priority 1 here: rfi.grants.nih.gov?s=6998c3a23e... by the deadline May 28! I know I wouldn't be here today without modern medicine

My hottest parenting take is that Raffi is not only the great to ever do it, but he’ll probably never be bested. Michael Phelps-ass children’s songwriter.

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

My paper is finally out in @natcomms.nature.com ! 🐟🐭🧠 Thankful to the contributors and @annamolofskylab.bsky.social for the support! How does the developing brain clear millions of dying neurons? Read below, if interested. #zebrafish #neuroscience #microglia #devbio @zebrafishrock.bsky.social 1/5

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

yall know i would almost never inflict a 2:30 video on you but i was on my feet whooping and cheering ten seconds in
