We caught up with four former Crick postdocs who have gone on to set up their own labs at other institutions. @TobiasAckels, @CarlosMMinutti, @LeticiaMonin and @drjrdavis talk about their time at the Crick and what the future holds. crick.ac.uk/news/2023-08-07_…

Looking forward to an exciting day at @BSMB1 Sheffield meeting today. Giving the last talk of the day, 3.30pm on a Friday... Question, should I include jokes?

Great work by Fede on mechanosensation and identification of a new cell in Drosophila! Well worth a read.
A new story, spearheaded by Federica Mangione is out @NatureCellBio!🎉 Federica observed the association of non-neuronal epidermal cells with the developing mechanosensory bristle. (1/2)

Lab migration to mastodon complete 🐘 I'll be tweeting @hungrytissue and tooting @[email protected] and wondering... what does the fox say? 🦊

"Capturing morphogenesis systematically in terms of cell behaviours is worthwhile because, first, cell behaviours represent a level of causality and mechanism as legitimate as molecular and genetic mechanisms" @jjbaglondon in @Dev_journal Amen!

We have our lab space set-up! Now we just need to work out how to order things, install nitrogen, get access to microscopes, calibrate pipettes, PAT test equipment, work out coffee making facilities, ... #newPI #labmove
