Congrats Daniela - this is awesome!

We are very happy to see our study finally appear online @nature.com! This has been work of nearly 10 years in collaboration with the National Institute of Genome Medicine π²π½, the National Cancer Institute π²π½, the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social and others β¬οΈ

Triggered!! Some things never change...
Looking forward to another yearβs Cell Bio meeting next week in Philly. I am co-chairing a cancer cell biology minisymposium on Tuesday morning with Partha Roy and my pal Junior West @jr2255.bsky.social. Lots of great talks about imaging tumor-TME cell interactions! #cellbio2025
Couldn't agree more - the Biorender-ification of science illustration is so depressing.
Go Jays!!!!!
Thank you to Cancer Discovery @aacrjournals.bsky.social for highlighting our recent paper! aacrjournals.org/cdnews/news/...
Got to love studies that were clearly conducted "for the love of the game" (βself-decapitating sea slugsβ, βplants that see and use that for mimicryβ, βworms that jump in the airβ, aka papers you sometimes find in @currentbiology.bsky.social
) References to all of this bellowπ
I can't believe I need to have an AI policy! I made it pretty short though: Using AI is cheating, yourself mostly. In addition to the environmental blight created by AI, it makes no sense to use it in your intellectual and creative work. Why would you outsource your innate intelligence?
Lay(-ish) summary of our melanoma confinement paper with some behind the scenes details of how this project came about, and what weβre planning to do next (hint: PDAC π). Thanks @nature.com for featuring our work.
This is a follow up to our 2021 paper where we described spatially-organized gene expression changes at the tumor border. We now show that mechanical force exerted on cells at the invasive front leads to changes in nuclear, cytoskeletal, and chromatin architecture that favor invasion.
My recent postdoctoral work is out today in @nature.com! We found that physical confinement makes melanoma cells more invasive and drug tolerant. Thanks to all who made this work possible @whitefishlab.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social #NIH #NCI www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Science is fun, but
Academia.. needs work
Congrats Sarah!! Well deserved!
1/6 Thrilled to share that I have joined the Department of Cell & Systems Biology at the University of Toronto as an Assistant Professor! Grateful for the journey so far and incredibly excited for whatβs ahead at @uoftcellsysbiol.bsky.social @utoronto.caβ¬.

it is hard to convey in words how bad the bloodbath has been for professionals working in the "not evil" sectors
It's time for Canada to Lead

Very smart move. Vancouver is gorgeous and UBC is great. Apply!!
Striking new study from @archaeon-alex.bsky.social's lab just out in @science.org on multicellular development induced by compression in Archaea: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Great β€οΈ
Hey! Are you an American considering a PhD or a postdoc, and the funding / academic situation just went absolutely bonkers?
Canada's federal funding awards just added eligibility for international applicants if at Cdn institutions.

Second, women make terrific leaders. They tend to be organized and prepared. They also tend to be more empathic as they have often experienced more challenges and setbacks than men in similar positions. They tend to be more courageous, particularly when the stakes are high.

NIH-funded research is at risk. Cuts to federal funding could harm science and the economy. Contact Congress now to protect research. Every call matters. Find your reps at govtrack.us and speak up today. #FundScience

Congrats all!! Nice to see it out.
Super excited to announce my new lab at the University of Michigan opening Jan 2025! πWeβll study how cells work together to shape the GI tract, with ties to regeneration & disease.
Hiring at all levelsβesp. a research tech to help launch the lab! Info: huyckelab.org

Fun catching up with some fellow RFG lab OGs in San Diego for #cellbio2024! @rodrigofg.bsky.social
Been there π but I'm sure you will be funded eventually! Let me know if you want to see my summary statements if that would be helpful.
Super cool work, congrats Michel and team!
Bonjour π
