On April 19, 1898, Camillo Golgi described what we now know as the #Golgi apparatus - a structure so pretty and unusual it took over fifty years for the scientific community to agree it wasn’t just an artefact.
April 19 is #GolgiDay! Mark your calendars to honour the best organelle.
Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

Mark your calendars & repost! Join us for the 2026 FASEB Lipid Droplets Conference!
July 26-30, 2026 in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona.
Best of all: The FASEB Lipid Droplet meeting is co-locating with the FASEB Phospholipid meeting. Two wonderful lipid communities brought together!

Of >105,000 participants with 30-year follow-up, only 9.3% achieved healthy aging (age 70, w/o any chronic diseases). Their diet was significantly associated with this outcome. @naturemedicine.bsky.social

Very excited to see this study out in the world. We made what is (we think?) the first fully-humanized mouse model of a repeat expansion disorder, DRPLA, by replacing an entire copy of muring Atn1 with human ATN1 with 112 pure CAG repeats...
