Love science, teaching genetics, and mentoring? There are some great students and faculty at @smithcollege.bsky.social and they are hiring a tenure track assistant professor! Some of my favorite folks in #DevBio are there! www.smith.edu/people/cagne... www.smith.edu/people/micha...

New preprint from the lab 🥳 We made new knock-in zebrafish 🐟 that fluorescently tag endogenous neurofascins. So now, we can live-image neuronal nfasca/NF186 and glial nfascb/NF155 non-invasively, as nerves, nodes of Ranvier and paranodes develop in vivo 🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Live-imaging of endogenous neurofascins reveals glial adhesion shapes developing nodes of Ranvier

The organisation of myelinated axons into specialised domains is essential for saltatory conduction and depends on the polarised distribution of neuronal and glial cell-adhesion molecules, including n...

Holy shit, we're actually getting there. "UCLA researchers develop low-cost blood test to detect multiple cancers and other diseases from a single sample [—] In tests, MethylScan detected about 63% of cancers across all stages and roughly 55% of early-stage cancers." (from April) #ShareGoodNewsToo

UCLA researchers develop low-cost blood test to detect multiple cancers and other diseases from a single sample

The test could offer a more affordable approach to early disease detection.

Excited to share my postdoc paper from the @lyons-lab.bsky.social Our question: what controls axon diameter? It varies >100-fold between neurons, shapes signal speed & myelination, and changes in disease. Yet very little is known about what regulates it. 🧵 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

A high-resolution phenotypic screen identifies regulators of CNS axon diameter in zebrafish

Axon diameter is important for action potential conduction speed, but what molecular pathways influence this neuronal property? This study reports a high-resolution imaging-based chemical screening pi...

The costs of international student exclusion will be vast and permanent. It will harm all Conservative Americans and their children; it will harm all Liberal Americans and their children. It is the exact opposite of what our tech-driven economy needs. I summarize my research at @piie.com —>

The US is driving away international students at a long-term economic cost

For generations, students from around the world have fueled universities in the United States, their top destination by far. Those students don't just sustain a $43 billion export industry in higher e...

In section G of the RPPR (annual reports to NIH), on foreign involvement, PIs should report all anticipated foreign co-authors on each future paper resulting from the work. For each paper & each co-author, that includes: Name Institution & location Email Describe their contribution to the paper /t

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Our review on glial orchestration of neurodevelopment is online at @cp-devcell.bsky.social! Great fun working with Krissy Sakers and Pat Sheehan from the Eroglu and Schafer labs, and special thanks to first author Krissy for her tremendous work bringing this to fruition! www.cell.com/developmenta...

Glia orchestrate neural circuit development

In this review, Sakers et al. discuss how astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocyte lineage cells actively regulate neural circuit formation, refinement, and stabilization. They propose that coordina...

Why do animals age in such similar ways, yet live for wildly different spans - from days to a century? Our new paper in @NatureAging fits a damage accumulation model across 9 species and finds the knob that best predicts lifespan doi.org/10.1038/s435...

A damage accumulation model identifies distinct aging regimes across species - Nature Aging

Raz and colleagues fit survival data across species to a stochastic model of damage accumulation and removal. They report that damage production rate best predicts lifespan and reveal two distinct agi...
