I just learned a lab appropriate alternative to rock, paper, scissors- Kelp, Urchin, Rock. Kelp covers the rock, urchin eats the kelp, rock squashes the urchin!

The evolution of shape diversity through the lens of physicsβexplored in our new paper! A fruitful collaboration between our lab @EMBL, Salbreuxβs lab @unige & others, led by @BailleulRichar1βnow independent at @ENS_ULMβ& Nicolas Cuny. bit.ly/3WRqdEa
Fantastic!

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Today we're celebrating a crowd-favorite - Lamin B1!

Is it just me or does everyoneβs lab look at them like they sprouted a third eye every time they invoke Maniatis in the lab? I swear that we isolated good nucleic acids in the 90s and we didnβt have Reddit.

Wow, so that still exists?! Awesome! I remember our lab having a good run because one of the members was a former member of the Yugoslavian national basketball team.

Nice work! Canβt wait to hear about this next week at DBSUMI.
This paper is now published at @diffjournal.bsky.social! Congratulations to all the hardworking students who made it happen! Shout out to authors 1 & 2!

Using wild animals for lab research has never seemed like a good idea to me.

And... it's live! In situ hybridization has been foundational for sea urchin developmental biology. Here we report a fully automated method to probe more than a hundred genes using a general purpose liquid handler.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.23.644641v1
The "superpower" of sea urchins is the fact that a single female can produce millions of embryos. In the next day or so we will share a new method to analyze gene expression methods in these embryos using a fully automated, open platform.
A paywalled article from @nature.com bemoaning the exploitation of scientists' unpaid labour. Chef's kiss. Perfection. No notes.
