Our new research article “Regulation of cellular cholesterol distribution via non-vesicular lipid transport at ER-Golgi contact sites” is now published @NatureComms. Congratulations to Tomoki, Haoning @DylanKx @NTU_LKCMedicine Div, and Lei @ntusbs @NTUsg ! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Tomoki and @DylanKx presenting posters @ASCBiology #CellBio2022 Session 30 on Sun 4th Dec!! P1399 on the role of ORP9, OSBP, and GRAMD1s at ER-TGN contacts in cellular cholesterol distribution P1415 on the development of a novel cholesterol biosensor for accessible cholesterol

Our new research article “PDZD-8 and TEX-2 regulate endosomal PI(4,5)P2 homeostasis via lipid transport to promote embryogenesis in C. elegans” is now published @NatureComms. Congrats Darshini @bilgespqre Dennis Tomoki Jingbo @NTU_LKCMedicine @NTUsg ! 1/3 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Really beautiful images depicting interactions between ER and lysosomes! 😍

When you go to a conference and only know one other person

Happy to share our latest work! we show how the structurally different ether lipids and sphingolipids are co-regulated, and share properties that explain their common roles in the early secretory pathway! Thanks @LeonettiManuel and all the other collaborators! @RouxLab @Colom_D

The good thing about Friday is that #FridayFeeling Oh wait, what is it, description...I am a PhD student not sure I qualify 😂😋 #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #phdchat #phdlife

The @yaheki group (@NTUsg) show that oligomers of GRAMD1, sterol transfer proteins anchored in the ER, self-assemble via lumenal amphipathic helices and migrate to #membranecontactsites with the plasma membrane to internalise free cholesterol to the ER.

Our work on how GRAMD1s play a role in transporting accessible PM cholesterol to the ER is finally out!! #ER_literature #MembraneContactSites #GRAMD

So this parody of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now by @neuroyoutube just randomly popped up on my Youtube recommendation. Best 3.32 minutes spent today! Such a masterpiece 🤣 youtu.be/whreNeJGCWk #phdchat #phdlife

@dgonzales1990 Thank you so much for sharing all these valuable insights!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but here it goes: Every single successful academic I know has experienced rejection. Behind each paper and book you see published there’s a ton of rejected work. This is a fact of life, and a feature, not a bug, of academia. Stay strong

A great illustration of burnout. Stress does not cause burnout it is the lack of support and resources that cause burnout.

‘Nothing will work unless you do’.. Well, it’s time to wrap it up for today 👏 Tomorrow is a new day! I hope you all will have a good week!😊#phdlife #SundayFunday

All these datasets have the same statistical properties. Including the dinosaur. A reminder to be careful with means, variances and correlations - they can be deceptive.

One of the problems in academia is that ALL of our evaluations focus on what we did wrong. Grant reviews: Here is what you did wrong. Paper reviews: Here is why it isn't good enough. Teaching reviewers: This is what I wanted to learn. Hearing how you suck all the time is hard.

Don't worry about figuring it all out. Start small and build from there. Conversation by conversation, you'll make it happen. It's already happening, right there in front of you. Sometimes I lose sight of that, but then I look back and see how much progress I've made.

BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the #NobelPrize in Chemistry 2018 with one half to Frances H. Arnold and the other half jointly to George P. Smith and Sir Gregory P. Winter.

NOOOOOOOO They just showed the “ah mig dah lah” and showed the PITUITARY. I’m shook. @netflix - there are many neuroscientists (including me: 🙋🏼‍♀️) that would be happy to consult with you to ensure scientific accuracy!
