Cilia alert! Last year Juyeon Hong described a new domain in 9+2 cilia called the EDT, the extreme distal tip. Now, she's found a new protein required for its assembly, but only in non-mammalian vertebrates. A cool evo-cell / protein evolution story in @cellreports.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2xvdskx6

Dude, check yer texts. What i see is a very sad person who had to write because his friends totally blew him off and so he decided to take a holier than thou approach and tell the world how dedicated a writer he is....

Here's your reminder that writing is a craft; working scientists need to practice it. I'm doing the work this evening. And oh yeah, the book is almost done! I'm writing about stem cells now. Stembryos next! (Alstadt lager and Old Overholt for those playing along at home). #devbiolwriteclub.

A true giant of #DevBiol! For you youngsters who might not know, among her decades of fantastic discoveries was this thing she found in 1981 that she called "Embryonic Stem Cells." I think some people still study them. Thanks to Alex for writing this lovely piece!
