🧠✨ Excited to welcome invited speaker Helen Willsey to #2026SDB in Las Vegas! 🎰 Her lab studies how autism-associated genes influence embryonic development and contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders and related conditions. 🧬🐸🔬✨

Super excited to be a part of this fantastic group! ✨🔬🧫

Leading Edge Fellows Program@leadingedgeprogram.bsky.social · 2mo ago

We are thrilled to announce the 2026 Zara Weinberg Leading Edge Fellows! 40 remarkable postdocs pursuing transformative research in biological/biomedical sciences. This is the 7th Leading Edge cohort and we are so excited to welcome them! www.leadingedgesymposium.org/fellows/

So happy to share this angle of my postdoctoral work! The skin epidermis keeps on keeping on, even when we deplete a majority of dermal fibroblasts.

While living systems rely on collectives to function our academic institutions reward singular stars. This piece “The myth of the irreplaceable scientist” challenges how we define impact in science and invites us to imagine evaluation systems that better reflect the collaborative nature of discovery

Thank you for the shoutout @drstarbird.bsky.social. We are both on the ballot and you can vote for 3 Council members in addition to other leadership positions. If you are an @ascbiology.bsky.social member, find that email and please vote before April 30th! 🤩🗳️

Chrystal Starbird@drstarbird.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I am honored to be nominated for ASCB Council this year. If you are an ASCB member, please share and vote before April 30th! The amazing @rogerslabucd.bsky.social is also on the ballot!

Visibility in Academia, like in the world, is not fixed; it is produced. This piece “What Cell Biology Reveals About Academia” is a reminder that everyone has the potential to be either seen or unseen. sciencepolitics.org/2026/03/23/w...

Condensates are powerful ways to break symmetry and cells do remarkable things with them. Here we show that in a multinucleate fungus, a condensate regulates translation of a cyclin and a formin in distinct locations. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

RNA-specific local translation is patterned by condensates for multinucleate cell growth - Nature Cell Biology

Geisterfer, Jalihal et al. show spatially distinct effects of Whi3 condensates on target translation in Ashbya syncytia. In vitro, translation is enriched at condensate–solute interfaces but repressed...

We lose extraordinary scientists because we fail to see how the system works through us. This piece “How Do We Become the Gatekeepers?” is a reflection about professional norms, where they may stem from and the impact on us all

The Fulcrum@thefulcrum-us.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Dr. Valentina Greco reflects on how accent bias, internalized gatekeeping, and hidden prejudices shape academia—and how true change begins by confronting our own discomfort. Read more: https://loom.ly/6QPGAq8 #thefulcrum #citizenconnect
