Membranes are the bags that hold cells together. But, sometimes you need to patch a hole in that bag.

Megan King (@luskinglab.bsky.social), Patrick Lusk and I, provide perspective on how proteins contribute to supporting organelle compartmentalization

Thanks so much for this! Could you speak a bit more as to who the external reviewer might be in this context?

My department is hiring a Visiting Assistant Professor to each Evolution and other general biology or upper level. Interested candidates can email my chair my Chair, Dr. Malcolm Schug (MDSCHUG@uncg.edu), their CV and letter of interest.

@uncg.edu is a fantastic place! Highly recommend.

Backs of a class worth of a final exam, where students have drawn their pets for extra credit.

Does giving everyone an extra point on a curved final actually affect their grade? Nope.

Will I do it again, absolutely!

Much needed burst of joy for both of us! 🐈‍⬛

Ok, ResearchRabbit 🐰 might just be my new favorite writing tool! So helpful for making connections across the literature! www.researchrabbit.ai

GIFs don't work for me either on Bluesky. If you upload it as a movie, it will loop just like a GIF!

So many new followers in the last 24 h!

Hi y'all! 👋

I'm a new Assistant Professor at UNC Greensboro! My lab is interested in how cells maintain and establish compartments. We use fission yeast mitosis and meiosis as models for our investigations.

Reminder than my awesome department, UNC Greensboro Biology, is hiring for F25! Please share!

Apply by Friday, November 1st, for full consideration.

An opened package with an ORCA-Fusion BT sCMOS camera inside.

Ready for some of that sweet back-thinned sCMOS 95% quantum efficiency for our imaging 🤩

Close up image of a microscope stage, where an oil-immersion objective is seen against a slide. Green light is visibly illuminating the sample.

The UNCG Biology Department's Nikon AXR now has a 100X/1.45 NA objective! Woohoo! Next up, getting the delivery of our backlit sCMOS!

Great Friday seminar by Dr. Richard Allen Wright! Really fascinating to see where the sequencing technology is for virology and where it’s going!

Ader Lab members hold up an envelope of yeast samples in a lab.

The lab received our first shipment of yeast from Japan's National BioResource Project @nbrp.bsky.social Such an amazing community resource! Charlotte and I are pumped!

When I do #SciComm training, I say “you’re not dumbing anything down because you’re not talking to dumb people. You’re talking to people who are smart at something different from what you’re smart at.”

I find that perspective helps
