We had an incredible time at the #DynamicCellVI conference! Our lab showed up almost in full force, contributing 4 posters, 3 flash talks, and 1 selected talk. It was fantastic to share our work and to see such strong interest and engagement from the community.

"Your article has been published" 🎉 We found there's a sweet spot of GSK-3β activity required to keep axonal microtubules bundled in 🪰🐀. Too much/little affect how Tau and Shot associate with microtubules leading to microtubules that loose bundling and resemble a bowl of cooked spaghetti 🍝

Images of fly primary neurons that express active or inactive GSK3beta stained for tubulin and a midel summarising how we think Shot and Tau microtubule binding is affected by low, optimal and high kinase activity.

Since the start of the year I've been kicking off my mornings with an 'album of the day'. Today's pick: Puscifer's fantastic new album 'Normal Isn't'. Complex rock with goth and punk vibes, MJK and Carina's ethereal voices, excellent lyrics - highly recommend!

Really, really amazing conference. We went last year and the scientific programme and atmosphere were incredible! I 100% recommend attending + submitting an abstract for a talk - spread the word! 🧠

Thank you @clarahowcroft.bsky.social, @toraks.bsky.social and David Dupe for getting the Northern Drosophila community together and organising the first NE fly meeting. We had a wonderful time, thanks for creating such a lovely, supportive and enthusiastic spirit. See you soon!

It was a lovely first Fly North(East) meeting, diverse and supportive. Thank you all for sharing your science and the enthusiasm in strengthening our community. Thank you @gensocuk.bsky.social for the sponsorship that made it possible.

🥳🥳 So many good things happening recently (stayed tuned). This week, the York Neuro community celebrated that Molly Magarotto's first first author paper has been accepted. Congrats to her and the rest of the Han-Jou Chen team - they're on a roll!
