🧑‍🏫 Postdocs often supervise students, and even though it helps them build #LeadershipSkills needed for future roles, many find this task a burden. This article offers tips to align expectations, build trust, and turn #Mentorship to a driver for better science.

A Wnt-induced conformational phospho-switch in DVL3 controls interaction with Frizzled receptors and Wnt/β-catenin signaling When Wnt ligands bind to Frizzled (FZD) receptors, Dishevelled protein (DVL) gets multiphosphorylated by Casein kinase 1 (CK1). Although, it is well known that DVL phosphorylation relays Wnt signals f...

Excited to share our new preprint on bioRxiv. 🎉
We uncovered a Wnt-induced phospho-switch of Dishevelled. This intramolecular coupling is mutually exclusive with FZD engagement and functionally required for the Wnt/β-catenin signaling. 🧵

Can creativity in science be learnt? These researchers think so Time pressure gets in the way of ideas. Developing ‘creative oases’ and small grants for risky ideas can encourage innovative thinking in science.

Can #creativity be learnt? A Nature Careers feature on Night Science featuring our Founders @itaiyanai.bsky.social and @martinlercher.bsky.social investigates this issue at the heart of #NightScience

@josiegz.bsky.social It was a pleasure to get to know you! ☺️

Scientific bedlam at the world’s weirdest and wildest research conference Woodstock Bio2 + Night Science aimed to encourage collaborations through creativity. The walk-on music for presentations was fun, too.

Participating in Woodstock Bio #TCTeAC in Prague as a reporter for @natureportfolio.nature.com was undoubtedly the highlight of my summer. Thank you @odedrechavi.bsky.social @itaiyanai.bsky.social @natanellae.bsky.social and everyone who joined this wild confab!

Inaccurate and misogynistic: why we need to make the term ‘hysterectomy’ history An operation to remove the uterus should be called a uterectomy – like the removal of the tonsils is a tonsillectomy, or an appendix removal is an appendectomy.

Yes I did interview Vera Rubin for Discover Magazine long ago

Me: If you could visit another galaxy, which would you choose, and why?

Rubin: That's easy. I would choose to go to Andromeda, so I could look back at our galaxy and see what it looked like.
