Schematic of potential complexes that form between TAM receptors and apoptosis cells or viruses at the cell surface
Our lab is excited to hire a postdoctoral researcher to study the mechanisms that viruses use to ‘hijack’ TAM receptors in viral spread. We are looking for someone who is excited to learn new techniques and work in a highly collaborative team! Please share!

Five weeks into what has been a constant onslaught on science, working on a paper seems like such a privilege, which many of our recently fired colleagues no longer have.
And a rebellious act.
But mostly it's self-care.
(Give yourself permission to turn off the news for the weekend.)
LET’S DO THIS UCSD
#standupforscienceUCSD
Still lots of opportunities to get involved organizing for the #StandUpForScience2025 rally across the US on March 7. 📣 Check out @standupforscience.bsky.social for info. Lots to do, colleagues! 👏 Let’s not sit by and watch science be destroyed. There’s always a need for anything you can do. 🔬🩺🧠

It may appear insensitive that you are celebrating when other colleagues are struggling but I entreat you to celebrate & share good news. 1/
Many #researchintegrity sleuths are volunteers with little financial support for their often-daunting work to uncover #scientificfraud. One of the most prominent, Elisabeth Bik, has now provided money to change that. @elisabethbik.bsky.social @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

A dark day in America.
enormous thanks to the journalists, lawyers, patients, concerned citizens, and civil servants at NIH who banded together to get American science out of captivity

The no cost extension button is back and at least some are being granted. If this applies to you, go for it.
PLEASE SHARE

GREAT EFFING NEWS
Several sources are telling me that NIH grant management officers are now authorized to start issuing awards!
Trying to get more details
As a leader in my lab & various initiatives, I’ve made my stance clear....my commitment to DEI is unwavering. I won’t back down or shy away, even as others do. I’ll continue to uphold and advocate for these values.

🚨Deadline to apply for a talk and scholarship extended to January 23rd. 🚨
We’ll party like it’s 2018, when we celebrated the field of cryo-EM; now we’ll have an epic party to celebrate imaging biomolecules across scales w/complementary methods 🪩🕺💃. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Please RT
Do you love all kinds of imaging? Are you a traveler across scales? Do you dream of bringing structure and cell biology together? (Also, ⛷️🏔️anyone?)
Join us for this incredible meeting full of state-of-the-art methods, killer bio applications and engaging speakers!

1/ 🚨We’re thrilled to share our latest study:
"Cellular Function of a Biomolecular Condensate Is Determined by Its Ultrastructure" 🌟
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
How do biomolecular condensates achieve their cellular roles? It comes down to their internal structure. 🧵⬇️
Even better: it all started by Kim encouraging me to do our own experiments.. from 🐁 to grid ❄️🔬#teamtomo
Nothing beats playing with your friends 😍
I don’t think it’s physically possible for you to work harder 🙏🏽
