Excited to share my new preprint from the McKinley lab, where we explored regenerative mechanisms across menstruation and pregnancy! We thought specialized glands would regenerate everything.
We were wrong.
But the real mechanism turned out to be way cooler :) 🧪🧵

Applications are now open for the Stem Cell & Development Biology Early Career Symposium!
Together with @isscr.org and @socdevbio.bsky.social, we're hosting a scientific symposium focused on incubating the next generation of research leaders.

We are looking for a Postdoc to join our lab at @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social. This is a dry-lab focused post on the computational analysis of long read single-cell sequencing data to understand the role of transposable elements (TEs) in early development. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru... #TEsky
Today at SY-Stem: Marianne Bronner, California Institute of Technology, presented on “Gene regulatory subcircuits controlling neural crest stem cell fate along the body axis.”
A very important editorial:
Don’t deprioritize curiosity-driven research www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Some background to this, and an example I think of Phil's attitudes towards fostering students and encouraging others. I never got a chance to meet Phil in person, but will share his act of generosity that helped myself and @hdashnow.bsky.social and I think had in indelible mark on our careers. 1/8
'Phil was also the founding Editor-in-Chief of PLOS Computational Biology, where he created the beloved Ten Simple Rules series. He was so prolific in the series that the meta-article “Ten Simple Rules for Writing a PLOS Ten Simple Rules Article” literally includes, as Rule 4: “Be Philip E. Bourne.”
🚨 Job Alert - Please share! 🙏
Interested in 3D gene regulation in development & evolution? 🤓🧬
💥 Our lab at @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social is expanding!
We’re recruiting:
✅ PhD students
✅ Postdocs
💻🧪 Experimental or computational backgrounds welcome
👇 Details below
New Perspective form Rory Maizels & me: "Gene regulatory networks: from correlative models to causal explanations"
Gene regulatory networks are supposed to give us mechanistic explanations of development, so why are we drowning in 'hairballs' of statistical correlations?

In addition to all the well-documented stresses on the system, reviewer fatigue/saturation drives worse reviews which in turn promotes more journal shopping by authors which leads to paper recirculation and, yes, you guessed it, more reviewer fatigue 😵💫

Fantastic launch to our exciting @wellcometrust.bsky.social #UNICIL project in Exeter with a symposium entirely dedicated to our favourite things #MotileCilia with our teams & new friends! Great things ahead under @micromotility.bsky.social ‘s helm.. @jekely.biologists.social.ap.brid.gy /1
This afternoon I took my mom to the ballet. She was as a dancer and choreographer for decades & has been in memory care for 8 years. She can’t recall many details of her past but dance—and her identity as a dancer—lives in her soul 1/
