NUS has moved all of its undergrad recruitment online. As part of this, I spent 3 hours filming on Wednesday for this 2 minute video - but the end result is really pleasing. Definitely the most professional looking thing I've done for work! m.youtube.com/watch?v=cCwcDJ…

@ZebrafishRock Thanks! Hope it's a useful tool

Lots of amazing tools in this preprint cohort including our personal favorite by @TimESaunders — CellMet: Extracting 3D shape metrics from cells and tissues 🪰🐟

We are looking for an Assistant/Associate Professor who is pursuing research into how the disruption of electrical function and/or mechanobiology contributes to human pathologies, and in particular cardiac disorders. More info here: warwick-careers.tal.net/vx/appcentre-e… or get in touch.

@HFSP We provide a clear estimate of the length scale of microtubule interaction in the early drosophila embryo.

Many thanks to @HFSP for funding most of this work. And Jorge and Sham who did so much to bring it all together.

My final (☹️) paper with Ivo Telley now out - doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… I felt the elife system worked well - first time publishing there since the changed model. Good to have different approaches- nothing is perfect.

@HFSP We utilise Ivo's great explant system to make clean and quantitative measurements. This is backed up by theoretical modelling of the aster interactions with boundaries and each other.

@HFSP We show that in the drosophila early embryo, microtubule asters interact through an effective pushing interaction.

The eduWOSM is our open source microscope for education and resource-limited settings. We now have a YouTube channel to explain what it is, what it can do, how it works, and how to work it youtube.com/channel/UCmOak…

Really happy to see this out: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15… We use FCS to reveal that Bicoid dynamics vary spatially across the Drosophila embryo. We demonstrate this can explain previous observations about gradient extent and time scale of formation.

@scholpp_lab I think Bicoid is pretty clear - lots of direct measurements using different approaches. Of course, it's not unhindered diffusion, but alternative models do not fit with the range of experiments. (Yes, I know Bicoid is a weird morphogen)

@scholpplab.bsky.social@scholpp_lab·3 Oca

Have we now reached a point where we can seriously question diffusion-based, long-range signalling? Is there actually any good evidence, or is everything just based on assumptions? See also: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Happy New Year from the British government. Just sad.

From today, the majority of foreign university students cannot bring family members to the UK. In 2024, we’re already delivering for the British people.

Ok. This is an absolute #breakthrough and #tourdeforce by @steinaerts lab. Designing functional enhancers has been a dream of the scientific community for decades. Now AI fed with the right data cracked the cis regulatory code. Respect 🤠➡️🎩

@PavelTomancak @Rainmaker1973 Just moved to the Blue place - say username. Just about given up on here - the thought of my actions supporting Elon is not very edifying.

One of the more surprising things I’ve learned in my years as a marriage and family therapist is that pets are more than just “man’s best friend”—most families see them as *actual* members of the family system. The thing that finally made me see it clearly was grief. (1)

Are you looking to make your microscopy images pop? I've been working on an add-on to make loading tifs in @Blender more accessible! With tif2blender, 3D animations of z-stacks are hopefully easier to make in open-source format.🌈 Try it at: github.com/oanegros/tif2b…

Excited to share the lab’s very first pre-print (!!) where we describe a new tunable hybrid hydrogel system and discover ECM-specific cues that regulate cardiac aging. Check it out!👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Tweetorial follows... (1/8)
