Looking for curious and creative scientists (technicians, postdocs…) to join the team. Come do some cool imaging with me, such as this migrating neutrophil with front 🔴 and back 🔵 polarity biosensors!

Thrilled to announce the launch of my lab
@cri-utsw.bsky.social at UTSW this January!
We will explore how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces, focusing on membrane mechanics to reveal how tension and signaling work together to shape cell behavior.

@henrydebelly.bsky.social @oweinerlab.bsky.social elegantly showed how migrating cells exhibit a long-range mutual activation and partitioning of GTPases at both the front and back of the cell, functioning as an integrated mechano-chemical system. He’s also recruiting for his new lab!🧑🔬#MBIMPG2025

Circular lab logo consisting of a ball of cells labeled with cyan nuclei and red cilia, surrounded by a white circle and the text Choksi Lab and UCSF. The 'o' in Choksi is a schematic of a multiciliated cell.
I'm thrilled to announce that my lab is opening this August in the Department of Cell & Tissue Biology @ UCSF!
We will study airway stem cells and explore how they generate multiciliated cells (my favorite!) to keep pathogens and debris out of the lung. Check out choksilab.org for more!

CTB welcomes new Assistant Professor Semil Choksi @semilc.bsky.social to the department! The Choksi Lab will study how airway stem cells generate multiciliated cells - and how this process goes wrong in respiratory disease. His lab is opening this August. Visit choksilab.org to learn more!

#Science Bluesky, do your thing:
We're organising the International Symposium on Mechanobiology (ISMB) 2026 in #Glasgow & we're looking for research groups in Latin America & Africa who are doing great work in #Mechanobiology or adjacent areas.
Can you indicate some names to me?

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

I am a proud HHMI Gilliam Fellow alumn. The HHMI funded me at a critical time in my career - a real inflection point that made me realize that I had a place and future in science. I always looked to the HHMI as a safety net to those historically excluded by academia, 1/4

This is a huge loss. Michael's work has been extremely influential and inspirational. He was one of my favorite scientist of all time...

born too late to get a two Western blot Nature paper, born too early to be a science TikTokker, born just in time to start a postdoc during a global pandemic and look for faculty positions during a historic hiring freeze

Huge crowds in SF today for #standupforscience. inspiring stories, not only from scientists like @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social, but also people who have lived through life-saving/changing experiences as a direct consequence of federally-funded scientific research 💪🏽

Unique opportunity to join the CytoMorpho Lab (in Paris ❤️) as a postdoc to work on the self-organization and polarization of reconstituted networks made of microtubules, motors and actin filaments in vitro. Experience required.
Please Repost 🙏 thanks !

Hi! Thought I'd mosey on down to bsky as well with the rest of the science peeps! I love combining old-school biochemistry with all the 'omics' to discover new things about organelle function and cellular metabolism in health and disease.

Excited for some cool science at #CellBio2024 this year! Come by my poster (Sun. Dec 15, 1.30-3pm Board B136) and stay for my talk (Sun. Dec 15, 4 pm Rm 33B) where I'll tell you about our work on a lysosomal mechanism for membrane protein degradation!

Damn that sucks, I can't imagine the stress... I also don't get it, seems that you can only benefit from doing back to back papers...

But you very nicely approached me to tell me you were in contact with Matthieu about co-submitting! It blew my young mind that this was even an option.
Honestly witnessing the whole process really opened my mind about the power and awesomeness of co-submission.

I remember presenting my (small) part of this work at a symposium a while back (I was a master student at the time). You had presented a bit before me and I was very nervous presenting because I was wondering if you were competing with Matthieu...
