Totally and as expected. The tournament is dragging for too long when it it's 4th round. Very anticlimactic.

Very happy to see how this project turned out. It was an awesome collaboration with Marek Mutwil and I learned so much along the way.

We have some news! We find that the post-synaptic Homer proteins coordinate YAP and Wnt signaling in epithelial cells, downstream of the Crumbs polarity complex. They do so by sequestering YAP and beta-catenin in biomolecular condensates, and by suppressing a FRYL/NDR complex. Check it out!

Are you a PI in a biology field looking for students to join your lab as a PhD student? I made a Starter Pack to help PIs and potential PhD students connect! If you would like to be added to this pack, please let me know! go.bsky.app/EFj87fi

Great resource to connect early career folks with more senior scientists looking to hire postdocs! 🧪

Excited for our next special issue and looking forward to working with Abby Buchwalter (@abbybuch.bsky.social) and Megan King (@luskinglab.bsky.social)! Working on the cell biology of the nucleus? Send your papers our way!

Mini hearts, lungs and livers made in lab now grow their own blood vessels These sophisticated models will be used for human-development studies and drug testing.

The "reproducibility crisis" in science constantly makes headlines. Repro efforts are often limited. What if you could assess reproducibility of an entire field?

That's what @brunolemaitre.bsky.social et al. have done. Fly immunity is highly replicable & offers lessons for #metascience

New preprint out!
We reveal that ERAD, a protein degradation pathway, selectively targets intracellular PILS auxin transport facilitators to control growth.
This expands ERAD's role beyond protein quality control, right into developmental regulation.

Congrats ‪@averyruisun.bsky.social‬ and @jennyoung.bsky.social for this beautiful story in @natmater.nature.com!

Very telling that all the photos are taken by drone. No one dares set foot on this so-called island 😂

Huge thanks to @gthibault.bsky.social and Julie Hollien for organizing a warm, welcoming FASEB ER meeting filled with incredible science! Excited that I will carry the torch as a co-organizer for the 2027 meeting….can’t wait! @faseborg.bsky.social

Thank you, Sonya ‪@neal-lab.bsky.social‬. It was a real pleasure organizing the meeting with Julie, and we’re thrilled you’ll be co-organizing in 2027. The ER community will be in excellent hands and we already look forward to seeing the direction you and Julie take the next edition.

Jun #SGBUG with Aaron Tan from the groups of @kimingeneva.bsky.social and @gthibault.bsky.social talking about exciting findings on E. faecalis pathogenesis, and @weeboont.bsky.social from our lab sharing his newest work on phospholipid transporters in E. coli! @scelse.bsky.social Awesome crowd!

Looking forward to see you at the #ERSRC in Melbourne... Florida.

Stepwise ATP translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum by human SLC35B1 - Nature SLC35B1, initially thought to be a nucleotide sugar transporter, is an essential ATP/ADP exchanger that imports ATP into the endoplasmic reticulum through a unique stepwise translocation mechanism.

Non-profit journals are on the critical list.

The cause: academics obsession with the Nature brand, coupled with the APC $ model.

Some will argue it doesn’t matter (“all as bad as each other”). But the fact is undeniable and it’s good guys who put money back into science like COB who are losing..
