Do you know an outstanding aquarist? We're hiring a Senior Aquarist to help run our cephalopod facility at Columbia University. Our team maintains a colony of 250+ cuttlefish, develops new husbandry techniques (inc transgenics) & studies cuttlefish camouflage and social behavior. 1/3 [Pls repost!]

What once seemed like the perfect answer to bacterial infection is now revealing its limits in the form of antimicrobial resistance: a consequence of antibiotic overuse. This striking Essay shows that this is not purely a biomedical problem, but a global socio-economic crisis

Cell-autonomous control coupled with tissue context regulates the cessation of migration at the site of organ development

Summary: Migratory cells that participate in organ development lose motility upon arrival at their target. This study presents mechanisms governing this process during the early stages of gonad format...
