I heard about this from @sequenceman.bsky.social today, very exciting to see @chrmosimann.bsky.social getting these out there!

Yay, we are excited to give pIGLET a try! Thx to grad student @nicholashaghani.bsky.social for moving us forward in this

I see the Voltron lions.

We were very excited to see this preprint. We wonder if this could be the same target suggested by our data, and/or the same one that Martin Kelly has identified in mammals.

Hormone-induced thrombosis is mediated through non-canonical fibrin(ogen) aggregation and a novel estrogen target in zebrafish Venous thrombosis is a well-known complication of sex hormone therapy, with onset typically within weeks to months after initiation. Worldwide, more than 100 million pre-menopausal women use combined ...

This is unexpected but not unheard of, and has been observed in a few other contexts. @clot1.bsky.social 's group recently reported a similar finding on thrombosis in zebrafish:

We think there is another critical estradiol target that awaits characterization.

Estradiol promotes habituation learning via an unidentified target, bypassing the suppressive effects of established Estrogen Receptors Habituating to the constant stimuli in the environment is a critical learning process conserved across species. We use a larval zebrafish visual response to sudden darkness as a model for studying hab...

Our latest work is now up on bioRxiv. It describes our attempts to identify the receptor that mediates the effect of estradiol on habituation learning in larval zebrafish.

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me.

Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Congrats to Eleonora Camilleri and Dejvid Veizaj for receiving the #NVTH Award of Excellence at the joint BSHT-NVTH meeting! 👏🏽🏆

Congratulations! Looking forward to the continued great work to come!
