The ZDM19 meeting in Oxford is coming up soon! We have a great list of speakers, lots of early career researcher events, and an amazing location. Registration is open now but early bird pricing will end soon - so please register as soon as possible! www.zdmsociety.org/zdm19-regist...

The true highlight of an academic career is seeing trainees find their own path. My former postdoc @shruthysa.bsky.social is such a passionate scientist, and her institute made a profile about her and the work she is doing on metastasis. She is so inspiring - check it out: x.com/IGIBSocial/s...

Congratulations to Professorship awardees Prof Phillip Shaw, Prof Marc Dewey and Prof Richard White 🎉 With international expertise from the US and Germany, the awards support their work across major health issues and ensure global perspectives in UK research 🌎🔬 👉 bit.ly/43E9tnn

A really nice Research Briefing on Miranda's @mrndhntr.bsky.social paper. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1038/d415...

Compression causes cancer cells to start spreading

The switch between proliferation and invasion is triggered by mechanical force.

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new Nature (@nature.com)‬ paper, Miranda Hunter (@mrndhntr.bsky.social‬) found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2

The SMR 2025 Annual Congress (Amsterdam Oct 25-28) covers basic, preclinical & translational melanoma research of international top investigators. It is a very enjoyable conference with top faculty and now improved with ample opportunity for young investigators to network. Join us! smrcongress.org

Zebrafish people! The @ZDMSociety annual meeting is in Boston this year, with a great lineup. Abstract submission is closing May 27th. Go register now for this always fun conference #zebrafish www.zdmsociety.org/zdm18-home

Spots still available for the Cancer epigenetics meeting hosted by @ludwigcancer.bsky.social at Oxford @ox.ac.uk. Amazing lineup of speakers including Craig Thompson, Scott Lowe, Caroline Bartman and many others. Info here - register soon!: ludwigoxfordepicancer2025.my.canva.site

For #zebrafish people - we have a joint @ZDMSociety @InfoIzfs webinar focused on single-cell tech coming up on February 20th. Featuring Yinan Wan, Jialin Liu and Loic Royer. Register here: www.izfs.org/education/we...

Synthetic biology meets Darwinian evolution. This new paper shows how you can do directed "evolution campaigns" using mutation of RNA rather than DNA: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... Could we do this in vivo in #zebrafish ?

An orthogonal alphaviral RNA replication system with chemically inducible control of RNA mutagenesis enables RNA-based directed evolution in mammalian cells.

For my first ever post on @bsky.app, check out this piece about starting a new lab (one of the most bewildering experiences). See how my former postdoc @shruthy_suresh describes her first year: nature.com/articles/s43.... Honest but optimistic, exactly how I have always known her to be!
