Thank you for speaking with me about my research, Shefali @iam_shef! #newPI #metabodev #MetabolismMondays
Please check out Shefali’s weekly interviews with different ECRs about metabolism and development @the_Node ! What a great initiative 👏

Thank you to organisers Marco Foiani @MFoiani, Ana-Maria Lennon-Duménil @LennonLab, Victoria Sanz-Moreno @VickySanzMoreno & Giorgio Scita @scita_lab and everyone who joined us for this week's Workshop 'Mechanometabolism Unleashed: The Interface of Cell Mechanics and Metabolism'

We have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We're asking our colleagues from labs in the US other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.
The cancellation of Harvard grants has put @FlyBaseDotOrg on life support. The Flybase grant is at Harvard and everything else is a subcontract. This community resource is absolutely essential! philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-…

Our first post in 4-years! Very excited to share our work just published in @ScienceMagazine. We find that “Interphase cell morphology defines the mode, symmetry, and outcome of mitosis” – in angiogenesis and other tissues! science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/…

Recent work led by @XimenaSoto40 in collaboration with @PapalopuluLab shows how cell-to-cell communication plays a key role in compensating when the dynamics of transcription factor Her6 is altered.
An exciting example of team cooperation @Dev_journal!

Great article! I highly recommend reading this.
Talking about religious faith at work comes naturally for some #researchers and is tricky for others. @Nature's @annemarieconlon finds out how they navigate it.

I love lab retreat brainstorming. This time with @YanlanMao, @taponlab and Ribiero labs, the next best thing in science... whale nappies!
