We posted a preprint last week! The swan song from my days in @DavidGDrubin's lab, and a collaboration with Mike Ostap's lab @PennMedicine. Simple question here: type I myosin activity is required for clathrin-mediated endocytosis, but what does it do? 1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@casseroleboy I had similar thoughts about other sports that feel weird in the summer games. Evidently the Olympic charter dictates that all winter Olympic sports have to be carried out on snow or ice.

Isn't basketball a winter sport? That would really improve my Olympics viewing experience

@BenjiNaesen I largely found Chris Froome boring but TDF Ventoux 2016 and stage 19 of the 2018 Giro loom very large in my memory. The poetry of Roglic losing on the final TT of the 2020 tour, then redeeming himself in the final TT of the 2023 Giro is also something I’ll always remember

Give me your Top 5 Grand Tour stages since 2010. 👀 You're allowed to write down less than 5. ⤵️

@MayorBMScott @MarylandClassic I had such a fantastic time biking around the city, stopping in cafes and bars, and watching the excellent racing today. Also, Baltimore looked *majestic* in the video coverage, which I know for a fact had international reach. The race has to come back next year!

Through the rain and shine, Baltimore showed up and showed out for the 2025 @MarylandClassic. Congratulations to this year’s winners🔥

@SOUVIKDE244421 Yes, Gaurab emailed it to me! Thank you for following up

@RossTAPedersen Did you get it already? Otherwise please send your email...

Our Phagoptosis paper is in Spotlight. @PrasadLabIISERK @NandiAbhrajyoti @devyan304 @SOUVIKDE244421

Excited to grow our team! The Tissue Morpho and Mechanics Lab at Hopkins is seeking a full-time Lab Technologist (50% lab tech + 20% lab manager + 30% scientist) to support our research in developmental biology and biomechanics 🐸🖖🔬🧪🫵

@AndyHermanNFL Ranking them according to how QB their names sound: Jaxson Dart >>Can Ward >Jalen Milroe

Three QB’s coming to GB.

@casseroleboy I don’t know the history at all. For the first part of this video, I thought you just hated Brand New’s music and considered Jesse Lacy’s songwriting to be a crime. By the end, I gathered that there’s something more going on

Posting TikToks on Twitter is like posting premium episodes of a podcast in the main feed. Fuck Jesse Lacey but mostly fuck the ppl who abide by the "just wait it out" mentality. Y'all need to conceptualize accountability outside of "jail or nothing"

on a busy day, when you're feeling stressed, it's nice to take a moment to relax and select all images with buses

@labonnelab @kyledcheney This is crazy! Do you know who is hosting and soliciting contributions to this spreadsheet? I’d like to forward it to a local reporter I’ve been talking to but I’d want to give her more context

Lawyers for the government argued yesterday that the cap on NIH indirect costs would not cause “irreparable harm,”- Tell that to the grad students who would have been admitted at these places and the labs they would have joined!

Thanks to an ASCB COMPASS Outreach Grant, @genetiks4u helped empower 125 students at Central Hindu Girls School, #BHU with an incredible workshop! @cbm2577 @bhupro @CgdBHU

@PracheeAC Watch Conclave if you haven’t seen it yet! It’s streaming on Peacock now. Beautiful costumes, surprisingly exciting, family friendly.

What’s the best movie you’ve streamed this holiday season? Looking to shortcut an endless search for later this evening

@tiedyefriday Love that guy

He is angelic

INBT-REU Summer 2025 is open for application. Deadline is Feb 1st, 2025. Here is the link: inbt.jhu.edu/nanobio-reu/🐸🛠️

@NateKrefman Kid Rock figured this out long ago

Turns out werewolves of london is the same song as sweet home alabama.

@kkostova1 @ScienceStowers I heckled your former student Diego a little bit today because he showed up without a costume, and he said: "the only one I have is the panda suit!" Being a Kostova lab member changes a student for life (or at least changes their costume collection)

Happy Halloween from our little science cuddle! @ScienceStowers

@FindMeInTheLab Gotta be lab karaoke

Got the news today that our lab's first paper was just accepted for publication! Now soliciting ideas for lab traditions to celebrate publishing ... any creative or fun ideas out there??

@Anna_C_Cassidy @peiferlabunc Congratulations on this nice work! I read it last week and sent it to my lab mates, too

Check out my first co-first author publication on the relationship between GTP-cap size and microtubule stability in cells versus in vitro! 🔬👩‍🔬

@drugmonkeyblog @sciencejuls Fair enough. They should be happy with a quick response like "my research program is active and while I don't know about next year in particular, I do plan to continue taking students in general." If they want more than that, I agree they're being presumptuous.

@RossTAPedersen @sciencejuls It can be a little hard to gently express that it is not worth talking specifics (because that request often accompanies the email) until the person has been admitted into a highly selective program.

@sciencejuls @drugmonkeyblog I guess I am not sure what the harm is. That you're getting too many emails? But these are emails from aspiring scientists who admire your research and are expressing interest in working for you. Aren't those the kinds of emails you want? Seems like a good omen to me.

@sciencejuls @drugmonkeyblog Yeah, of course these kinds of email conversations shouldn't be viewed as contracts. I just think it's a good idea to make sure the kind of research you'd want to do within a program is still going on there before applying, just in case your interests don't switch.
