Correction: early career poster session is in hall E tonight at 6:45 PM! If you’re interested in posters from early career scientists from various diversity programs (or cilia and autism and frogs🐸) stop by!

Looking forward to presenting my poster today at #SfN2025 Early Career Poster Session! Come chat about cilia and autism at poster #A34 in SDCC Room 25A! Or catch @konjikusicmia.bsky.social and I’s session on cilia in the brain tomorrow! 👇👇

If you’re at #sfn25 you definitely don’t want to miss this nanosymposium on cilia, tomorrow from 1-4pm! Come learn about neuronal cilia, they do some pretty cool stuff!

Synapses may get all the glory, but join us cilia-philes for our @sfn.org Nanosymposium to learn about the role of cilia in modulating brain activity, behavior, and development. Sunday November 16th 1-4pm SDCC Room 25A. Thrilled to chair with @konjikusicmia.bsky.social - we'll see you there!

Weird intersection of math & centrifuge balancing: Visual proof that it's possible to balance a 24-position centrifuge rotor for any number of equally-filled tubes EXCEPT 1 and 23. Some of these are anxiety-inducing, though. (🧑‍🎨: aliyoh, labrats subreddit)

It's a 24 panel illustration, with a rotor (circle) with 24 open circles. For each increment from 1 to 24, an additional circle is filled with blue or pink, in ways that create a symmetrical axis of mass, allowing the rotor to be balanced when rotating at high speeds. The pinks generally show the odd numbers (divisible by 3) while the blues are the paired (divisible by 2) I think?

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

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.

This is where collective action is needed if we all include diversity and its relevance to are research in grants& biosketches will they defend all of us? Complying in advance is harmful. Some people can delete diversity from biosketches and grants I can't delete that I'm a black woman scientist.

Michael Wong@miquai.bsky.social · 2y ago

Today I was told to take out a line about being a mentor to students from diverse backgrounds and historically underrepresented groups from my biosketch for a proposal, because it might damage our chances of getting federal funding. How has it come to this? I feel absolutely sick.

Have you ever wondered what role motile #cilia and cerebrospinal fluid (#CSF) play in brain development and physiology? If yes, please check out our latest article now published in Cell Reports and spearheaded by the newly minted Dr D'Gama www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Motile cilia modulate neuronal and astroglial activity in the zebrafish larval brain

The brain uses a specialized system to transport cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), consisting of interconnected ventricles lined by motile ciliated ependymal…

A graphic depicting two panels. The left has the ASCB Cell Bio 2024 logo, which also includes the date of the conference December 14-18 and San Diego, CA. Below that is a picture of a white woman with dark brown hair and a mustard-colored sweater. Below that is the following text: Poster: Convergence of Autism Proteins at the Cilium. Elina Kostyanovskaya PhD Candidate Helen Rankin Willsey Lab Monday December 16th Board number: B87, Exhibit Hall D-G, Presentation number: P1782, Session: Ciliary Signaling, Motility, Intraflagellar transport. On the right panel is a semi-transparent confocal image of a multiciliated cell with cilia in magenta and the base of cilia in blue and green. In the bottom left corner is a Willsey lab logo, which is a brain outline in the shape of a frog. In the right corner are 4 twitter and blue sky handles @elinakosty, @elinakosty.bsky.social, @goodfrognosis, @goodfrognosis.bsky.social

Excellent preprint from @goodfrognosis.bsky.social’s lab, showing convergence of #autism related proteins at the #cilium (sure to interest people working on cilia/centrosome on this platform; ping @cilialab.bsky.social) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Convergence of autism proteins at the cilium

Hundreds of high confidence autism genes have been identified, yet the relevant etiological mechanisms remain unclear. Gene ontology analyses have repeatedly identified enrichment of proteins with ann...
