Laurent Seroude 🇫🇷🇨🇦

@taylorelyse25 Thank you. So proud of what you accomplished and so sad that I failed to get you proper recognition. I might not be as bad as I think but you know of the frequent occurrences that clearly tell me that I am worse than I think.

@seroude Laurent, none of this is true. You will always be my favourite teacher. You helped me become the scientist I am today. Always here if you need someone to talk to.

WTF will not subscribe to be able to tweet on iphone/ipad. desktop gone and i'm gone.

New paper from my lab in @EJNeuroscience shows PI4Ks have differential roles in synaptic function/development (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ej…) Majority of work done by my former MSc student Claire Richter Gorey. Funded by @NSERC_CRSNG. Collaboration with @JulieBrill5. @ScienceUWindsor

In 5 of 5 battles, the Velvet Ant survived the attack and we could see its stinger clearly deployed in every case. Everything happens pretty quickly but we actually see that the Mantis releases its grip at the precise moment when the stinger penetrates the forelimb. Nature is 🤯

And now for the most important tweet of all. This work was carried out almost entirely by @lydiaborjon an amazingly talented PhD scientist. Lydia is going on the job market searching for faculty positions and her email is lhoffst at iu dot edu. You should definitely hire her!

Yet another beautiful innovative research from an outstanding group and fantastic PI Bravo Dan!

Yet another brand new @CIHR_IRSC application submitted to the Aging committee for rejection 😭

Check out my Spotlight article in Trends in Genetics in which I highlight an exciting article from Amit Singh that appeared in PNAS earlier this year. He identifies a role for the Dve transcription factor and its human ortholog in the placement of eyes. cell.com/trends/genetic…

@EstherVerheyen @CIHR_IRSC I do, it is insane that they pay more attention to the format than the content. Not allowing to attach pub anymore is a huge problem taking away space from proposal to put figures already published (got rev complain that they do not have sub to my pubs).

Quick @CIHR_IRSC project grant question - figure legends inside proposal - can you use smaller font for these?

F... went to sleep and still woke up....to another day of deception. Added to the death of my father and the sickness of my isolated mother, ran out of tears...

writing again a new @CIHR_IRSC application to get it rejected as it has been for every single application since 2008. It's a corrupted lottery I am never allowed to win or even get a chance (only one app discussed 10yrs ago).

this nightmare has to end: let me go to sleep and never wake up.

@Hoosierflyman I found the best way not to deal with IT, never use any of their services for teaching or research, all my lectures on my local hard drive and I bring my own projector. All lab data on local server managed by ME (can still work with internet down).

Phone was destroyed by water damage over the wkend. I can't use DUO mobile to log in to work accounts (like canvas that I need to teach). I try installing DUO on a new device, but I need DUO to login to do that. So I file a help request with IT, I get incident report. Needs DUO!

@TanentzapfLab The worst is that promotion/grants are mostly based on ability to bring $ rather than publications. I became a scientist to do experimental work at the bench, not to run a start-up, hyping results and be an entertainer.

Jobs I have as a PI that I didn't know I'd have before I became a PI: accountant, financial planner, HR manager, conference & event organiser, grant manager, counsellor, meeting facilitator, course developer, academic administrator, facility manager, purchasing officer, AV tech.

Ashamed by decision/rev3 comments on a paper I just reviewed. Rev 3 did not read the paper...neither the editor who both are surprised authors used 90 days old flies at 29C when it is repeatedly indicated that flies are kept at 18C before a 24h 29C induction.

@flymuscles already done back in 2011: Newly installed fly-flipping robot up and running at the Stowers Institute

this is amazing. can we have one that flips the stocks?

@PCMarcogliese @Research_MB Bravo and congratulations!

Grateful to announce that @Research_MB is funding our work on IRF2BPL / NEDAMSS, a critical gene in brain development and health.

Manufacturers are trapping us in planned obsolescence. It's time to reclaim our #RightToRepair and break their monopolistic control! 🚫📱 Sign the petition now to demand better support and stop e-waste before the consultation closes on Sept 26! ✊🔧 openmedia.org/Right2Repair-tw

@RibeiroCarlitos French said the same in 2018.

Wow. What a day for Spanish sports. How many more trophies will Alcaraz and Yamal win? I think we are set for a decade of dominance.

@thelonglab @STalagala Congratulations! @thelonglab @STalagala
