Be on the lookout for an exciting meeting that Matilde @matildegalli.bsky.social , Silvia @santoslab.bsky.social and I are organizing next year in Amsterdam. It will be a lot of fun. coming-soon.embo.org/w27-24

Is the bottom image really C. elegans? I've worked with them for more than 15 years, this is not what they look like! BTW - the conclusion of the article is not that model organism research is fading, but rather that it is becoming a smaller fraction of all the research that is being done!

I'm excited to share our work on the regulation of endomitosis in worm intestines: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We find that cells are able to uncouple nuclear division from cell division by transcriptional repression of key cytokinesis regulators

Transcriptional repression of central spindle factors controls endomitosis in the C. elegans intestine
During development, many cell types transition from canonical to non-canonical cell cycles, suchas endomitosis and endoreplication, in which they duplicate their DNA but do not divide, giving rise to ...

Great thread summarizing a recent provocative (and insightful!) paper "Cell cycle duration determines oncogenic transformation capacity" (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40307557/) We clearly need to understand more about cell cycle timings in different cell types!

My friend @aniekj.bsky.social is not going to like this 😅 (Unless fly people have something similar with worms?) #worm25

🤔 Equal treatment... Perhaps reconsider extension rules for eligibility for applying to ERC @erc.europa.eu grants? LGBTIQ (non-biological) parents get 0 months extension (compared 18-months for biological mothers) FYI: the Dutch Research Council (NWO) gives 6 months to all non-biological parents

🔥New Night Science paper!! Discovery happens when your initial plans fall apart but it requires you to have a particular mindset: it's not extraverted, orderly, neurotic or agreeable that's the most important – discovery requires an OPENNESS to new ideas and unexpected insights.

Many US students don’t know how to seek opportunities outside the US. With some help from our colleagues in EU and Canada, we could put together a consolidated website of PhD opportunities and scholarships outside the US, organized by field. There might still be time for this year in some places.

Very happy to share our preprint on visualizing the life cycle of Influenza viruses using single-molecule imaging! 🥳 We developed two techniques to visualize infections of unmodified influenza viruses in live cells from endosomal release to budding of new viruses.
