Industry friends, now is the time for MUCH more speaking out on behalf of academic colleagues under duress. Here are core open source methods that many of your products doubtlessly depend on either directly or indirectly (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMMER) being abruptly defunded. Make noise.

NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.

Thank you Ines! I had such a lovely time visiting sunny York this week, sharing our science and chatting cell bio, neuroscience and proteases. Thanks for the invite, special thanks to the one and only @yorkyeast.bsky.social for top-notch hosting!

We felt very honoured this week that @adamgrieve.bsky.social shared his exciting and brand new (!) results on the role of rhomboid proteases at synapses for the very first time in our #celldynamics series! Such a cool talk :) Watch out for some really exciting science!

Exciting opportunity in the newly minted McMillan lab in Liverpool. Kirsty is a great scientist and a top mentor for students - if you’re looking for a PhD and are interested in trafficking and neurodegeneration, do contact her!

I have a funded PhD studentship available to start in my new lab in 2025! If you are interested in Endosomal Biology, Astrocytes and Alzheimer’s Disease have a look: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... Please feel free to share.

If you’re interested in how molecular motors coordinate to power intracellular trafficking events (e.g. endocytosis), I’ve got a PhD position available to study this at vibrant Bristol uni. In this project, we will capture highly dynamic events by #cryoEM, single molecule imaging & cell biology. 🔬❄️🧪

This scheme shows the cargo adaptor FHF in the middle with arrows pointing to distinct microtubule and actin-based motors (dynein-dynactin, KIFC1, KIF1C and myosins V, IX and X as well as Tropomyosin 1). It also shows a link to Rab5 marked early endosomes. The hypothesis is that FHF coordinates multi motor binding at the early stages of endocytosis. The PhD project would address the hierarchy of motor binding and how these motors coordinate to allow the newly formed vesicle to transition from the actin to MT cytoskeletal network.

Can I ask you to share a PhD advert at Bristol Uni please? Rhomboid proteases play a role in neurons that is essential for life- but it is not characterised. Got a student interested in cell biology, electrophysiology and neurobiology? Send them our way! tinyurl.com/56f24f7c

Waves of new BlueSky arrivals in last few days! I’ve been tracking starter packs relevant to molecular/mechanistic/genetic/cellular…etc biology Hope it’s helpful but warning: now a v long thread! Probably the last time I can do this...
