lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.

Online now: Postdoc Nat Clarke's @natclarke8 excellent work on a mechanism that coordinates tissue folding and axis extension. Great job and congratulations Nat!

@katclone The non artificial alts really had my confused abt what you were doing in lab lol

crazy to think ppl assumed I’d eat electrophoresis gels 😹🫵

@JullienFlynn I love this!

My flies are doing quite well living in reusable glass mason jars and reusable glass vials. My lab is producing almost no plastic waste, spending $20 a month on fly food, and only 3-4 hours a week making the food and washing the vials. #newflylab #proudPI #EcoFriendly

@AlyssaPaparella @NEBiolabs @DisabledStem Congratulations !!! Super well deserved 🤩

will never stop dreaming of the @HHMINEWS #GilliamFellow cupcakes 🤤🧁

Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, are keeping their children home and reporting damage to their property as anti-immigrant conspiracy theories spread, fanned by statements by Trump and Vance haitiantimes.com/2024/09/11/hai…

Ok, this is a big one! Proud to present our latest story on hydropatterning-a process that allows plants to sense moisture gradients in soil and activate branching. Johannes Scharwies defines the genetic basis for this response in maize and Arabidopsis! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A forward genetic screen identifies Sirtuin1 as a driver of neuroendocrine prostate cancer biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@natclarke8 @Marghe_Perillo @akshaykane_ @lab_lowe This is so cool!!!!

@Marghe_Perillo I’ll save the rest of the details for the paper – please check it out and let us know what you think! Lastly, major kudos to my co-authors - this was an incredibly fun collaboration with @akshaykane_, @Marghe_Perillo, @lab_lowe, and Zak Swartz.

What if you could deliver molecular tools directly into oocytes without microinjection? In our new paper, online today @Dev_journal (doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…), we introduce VitelloTag, a new cargo delivery tool to enable injection-free genome editing. 👇Read on for a short 🧵

mit finds that despite all efforts to recruit and offer financial aid to disadvantaged and low-income applicants in non-race-based ways, there are now fewer black first-years enrolling at mit than in ... 1982

There are a lot of myths about homelessness in California. Let's be clear: ✴️ High costs of living drive homelessness ✴️ Unhoused people are not unhoused because they don't want to work ✴️ Our actions today can build a California where everyone has the safe home they deserve

Pollutants disproportionately affect poorer neighborhoods. Vulnerable communities across California are getting sick from contaminated water and air. Clean air and water are a basic human right. It is our duty to protect our natural resources for all Californians.

@Dinnenylab Congratulations Professor Dinneny!!!

Dream come true! Honored and excited to take on this adventure in my scientific career. Our research on the mechanisms plants use to survive a challenging world now gets a huge boost. Thank you to my family at home and in the lab for love and support! hhmi.org/news/hhmi-inve…

@adonisrubio99 @HHMINEWS @cobarnes27 @BarnesLab1 Congratulations ayyyy looking forward to seeing you in September !

Grateful to be joining the @HHMINEWS #GilliamFellows community! Thankful for the support of my adviser @cobarnes27 and my amazing lab @BarnesLab1! Excited to meet the other fellows this year!

@mat10_d @iaincheeseman @NSF Woohoo!!! Big congrats!!

Thanks to @iaincheeseman and the whole Cheese lab for all their support! Honored and fortunate to get a @NSF GRFP and really excited for the work it enables us to do over the next few years 🍾

@iaincheeseman So cool!! Bald eagles aren’t on my life list yet - I gotta take more walks by the Charles!

A bald eagle spotted in Cambridge today as I was walking along the Charles. Really amazing.

@MartinLabMIT and @MITBiology trainees are representing at @ASCBiology annual meeting. Lab members are presenting their work on patterning in cells and Drosophila embryos from simple (crane and chickadee) to highly complex (bird of paradise). Analogy because I am a birder. #ASCB
