Barbara was such a badass. The kind of person that has a feeling for what the mechanism may be, but went into a lengthy process to double and triple check it. The antithesis of modern clout-chasing 🧪

On August 1, 1931, Harriet Creighton and Barbara McClintock published the first experimental proof that genes are physically located on chromosomes—a discovery that transformed genetics. 1/3🧵

Impressive closed loop control of optogenetics from the Toettcher lab. Crazy video on flipping cell migration by changing speed of egfr activation. These automated systems will generate more data driven hypotheses in the future. Congrats! www.cell.com/cell-systems...

Does anyone have a list (excel/csv) of journal name | Publisher | current APC? Ideally focussed on the Life Sciences and does not need to be exhaustive. It's for the Play your APCs right game I'm making :)

Go check out @girishkalephd.bsky.social in preprints article, now out in @dev-journal.bsky.social! This is my first commissioned article as preprints editor (: thank you Girish! In preprints – light, cluster, friction: a cell dance on the gastrulation stage journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

In preprints – light, cluster, friction: a cell dance on the gastrulation stage

Multicellular organisms, as the name suggests, are composed of many cells that work together. Cells need to stick together to ensure efficient cell coordination. Cadherins, which are calcium-dependent...

I am excited to tell you about our new study led by Tyler Audet and in collaboration with Stefan Lüpold's group. Below you see two species. On the right is Drosophila melanogaster. On the left, Drosophila prolongata. Notice the highly exaggerated legs of the males in D.p! doi.org/10.1093/evol...

Two panel image of Drosophila prolongata and Drosophila melanogaster. In the top panel is a female of Drosophila prolongata on the left and a female of Drosophila melanogaster on the right. It shows that D. prolongata females are somewhat larger than melanogaster, and have spotted wings. Importantly the legs are proportional in each species. In the bottom panel are males. On the left is a Drosophila prolongata male which is larger than all the other individuals, and has highly exaggerated legs in terms of width and length, and also has black stripes. In contrast male Drosophila melanogaster are much smaller than all the others, with normally proportioned legs.

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Delia and Luis, PhD students in the lab, won 1st place in the category of posters from PhD students and 1st place in the category of talks from PhD students in our internal institute meeting! I’m super proud of them and feel very lucky to have them in my team 🤩 #proudPI

We’re very excited to have our paper featured in the cover of @emboreports.org! Go check out our work to see more images like this one, and of course to learn more about the role of the ECM in tracheal-epidermal interactions during Drosophila embryogenesis 👇

Doing a linear stretch on these images shows how dramatic the "edits" were, revealing the deception in clear terms. This should be a complete scandal for Thermo Fisher and more people in the biosciences should be talking about it.

Reese Richardson@reeserichardson.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes: 🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting 🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

Sometimes biologists will discover some remote mountain lake, fed by snowmelt & unconnected from any river system. And it will be teeming with fish. Of multiple species. The next question is, obviously: how did they GET there? And the answer, we think, is "duck poop."

Confused Duck Close-Up

Alt: A white duck appears from all angles in rapid succession, but always above the camera or observer, looking down at the viewer with quizzical looks. The rapid cuts between shots make the whole thing comical, like a curious and confused duck is spying on you.
