Excited PI brag: postdoc Katie Ching just received the NOA for her K99/R00! She's talking at FASEB Cilia & Centrosomes meeting! "Investigating how mechanical force causes cilia to shed extracellular vesicles." Thanks to NIH POs, SROs, staff, study sections, taxpayers for investing in the future!

Thanks to the organizers of the Europ. Amphibian Conf. 2026 in Prague Charles University, V. Krylov, J. Harnos, R. Sindelka, V. Soukup. 3 days of exciting and beautiful #xenopus, #axolotl, #salamander science. In a wonderful city! 💚

Peer review is unpaid. Click "claim credit" for a review and that record enters a database owned by Clarivate, the company that also sells the impact factor. Your free labour becomes their inventory, and once anonymised, raw material for profit. academicrenewal.substack.com/p/who-owns-y...

“There is no doubt that oil, gas and coal companies already bear a disproportionate share of the blame yet have a financial incentive to further disrupt the climate. These perverse incentives will continue unless their generous government subsidies are replaced with windfall taxes.” #ClimateCrisis

Fuel on the fire: why oil companies are profiting as the world gets dangerously hot

The scientific consensus is that burning fossil fuels drives the climate crisis, yet the world’s biggest oil companies are planning to increase production

Uh! Exciting Killifish work by the awesome Phil Abitua!

Phil Abitua@ohnolog.bsky.social · last mo.

Annual killifish continue to surprise us: they make neutrophils before almost every other cell type, even before gastrulation. Neutrophils usually arise from the lateral plate mesoderm (forming in cyan), but in killifish they are already patrolling around the embryo in gold. tinyurl.com/killiphil

It was a great pleasure to host Aaron Zorn and Christina James-Zorn (cincinnatichildrens.org @xenbase.bsky.social) here @uni-freiburg.de / @cibss.bsky.social / @uniklinik-fr.bsky.social for a great talk and res. paper annotation. Thanks so much! ❤️🐸🔬
