Watching Sven elucidate this mechanism from an unbiased screen onwards has been one of my favorite experiences as a PI. In these challenging times for science at Harvard, it reminds me of the sheer joy of doing science and making discoveries.

Hi Max, we hope to get the preprint submitted in the next few days. I'm sure Sven will post it when it's available.

Unfortunately, we can't offer a hybrid option. Our agreement with the venue is for an in-person meeting only.

Postdoctoral fellow | Brown Lab The Brown lab at Harvard Medical School is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our team.

A reminder that the Brown lab has an opening for a postdoc fellow: brown.hms.harvard.edu/jobs/242. This might suit someone from the #cilia community interested in learning structural biology. Deadline extended to the 10th Jan.
