I know at least 5 peeps w/NIH grants that have scored 1-4% who are not being funded. My hopes are those who are funded are using their resources to help others, particularly junior faculty. Sharing resources, personnel, time, etc… If we don’t all pull together, science and the country suffers.

@exdrososcientia.bsky.social an I were delighted to host @franbottanelli.bsky.social for an amazing seminar on nanoscale understanding of membrane trafficking pathways 🔬 We are grateful to @biochemsoc.bsky.social for sponsorship to host an international speaker 🙌

The new #Yeast issue of January-March 2026 (Volume 43, Number 1-2) is now out, with a review on the role of Rad9 in DNA repair, and three research articles spanning the isolation of yeast species from flowers and honeys, and the effects of furanic compounds. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The cell biology community mourns the loss of Catherine Rabouille, an exceptional scientist whose determination, innovation, and fearless engagement with ideas reshaped how we think about cellular organization. #InMemoriam from @adamgrieve.bsky.social and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

In this #Yeast research article, Laise Cedraz Pinto Matos, Amy Milburn and @yorkyeast.bsky.social investigated the physiological effects of #furanic compounds from the Maillard reaction in yeast & found that they have different uptake, efflux, and toxicity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Uptake Mechanisms and Physiological Effects of Furanic Compounds From the Maillard Reaction in Budding Yeast

Matos et al. use genetic approaches in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to show toxicity of different furanic compounds can be modulated via regulation of surface nutrient transporters. Distinct furanic comp....

I am so happy to see @stedhammer.bsky.social last thesis chapter taking the shape of a publication. We looked into the role of the elusive GGAs cargo sorting adaptors. Alex‘s works hints at a role in the modulation of the binding of AP-1 adaptors to its clients #membranes #trafficking #CRISPR

Today at 17:00 CET - the first #MembraneTrafficking seminar of 2026. Giovanni D’Angelo (EPFL) and Sean Munro (MRC-LMB), explore protein trafficking, retention, and sorting at the Golgi. Join us for exciting discussions about the best organelle! Details at felixcampelo.wixsite.com/membranetraf...

Thanks, Chris! And yep, all going brilliantly - 270 delegates and fantastic talks and posters. Great to see so much support for fundamental discovery science and membrane biology here! Thanks @jcellsci.bsky.social, @embojournal.org and @bscb-official.bsky.social for support!

Haven’t posted for a while but @jezcarlton.bsky.social opening up the annual UK membrane trafficking meeting #UKMT seems like an appropriate reason to post! Great line up - as ever - with organisers Jez and Chris Stefan introducing a poster session too 🤓

I’ll be presenting this work (and a bunch of unpublished data) at 2.45pm at the #yeast2025 conference 🤓 This collaboration with @merusadhu.bsky.social has also benefitted from the meeting, as we planned more experiments on the river last night 👌

1 month to abstract deadline for the first cell biology of the nucleus meeting at @embl.org in many years - organised by the stellar @luskinglab.bsky.social @sarawickstrom.bsky.social Tom Quail & Simone Koehler Tons of open slots, invited and selected speakers all get 20 mins ❤️ #EESNucleus

So lovely to connect with the inimitable Terry Cooper again at #yeast2025 - who’s just gearing up to present after a gruelling journey to the meeting! 🙌🙌🙌

As one might expect, standing room only for Sir Paul Nurse keynote seminar at #yeast2025 in Paris this evening. 👏 👏 👏

We bought a shaking incubator for new pathogenic yeast work, but the tray came with holes lacking threads 😒 Luckily, Mark Bentley from our @biologyatyork.bsky.social workshop is a legend - he trimmed down the rack and secured it to the tray. 🔩🪛🙏🏼

Happy to have this work on the effectiveness of sulfamate based inhibitors on carbohydrate sulfatases out in @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas. #glycotime The summary is: Current sulfatase inhibitor technology is not effective on S1 carbohydrate sulfatases of the human colonic microbiota.

I spoke with authors/reviewers that had been part of the pilot during the biologists@100 meeting - they were extremely positive about the process. We also had great first experience with @biologyopen.bsky.social last year. Only issue with the model is mechanisms to cover APCs are vanishing.

Publishing scientific papers is an obstacle course. There are many aspects to this but lengthy review times are one. That's why I am very excited about the new initiative @biologyopen.bsky.social, @biologists.bsky.social open access journal: Fast & Fair 1/n 🧪 journals.biologists.com/bio/pages/fa...

- A postdoc to work on cancer extravasation (4-year project). - A postdoc help in completing Filopodia-related lab projects (2-year). - Multiple Marie Curie postdoc positions that will open in the fall. - We will open a 5-year position to cover my teaching (70% research and 30% teaching).

Are you looking for a postdoc? I will be looking for 2-4 people after the summer to join the lab !! Do not hesitate to reach out and disseminate !!
