Lovely news for the summer! My latest artwork was just published on the cover of @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social. Incredible science from @daveyboyhod.bsky.social lab! They discovered how pancreatic alpha cells regulate beta cell function via enriched GLP-1 receptor nanodomains.

Highland Wink of Arthur's Seat (BIMDG Meeting in Edinburgh) to the Finnish Seaside Juhannus! From whispering winds of the city below, to the shimmering shores of the Finnish midsummer night, where the sun refuses to set! ⛰️🔥😄 Happy Midsummer everyone!

First time as a lecturer in Mitochondrial Summer School! It’s been a while since I got to enjoy the talks as a student. Had fantastic time meeting friends, making new ones and discussing everything mitochondria. Thank you @unioulu.bsky.social and FibroHealth for the lovely time at Rokua, Finland!

Always good to talk more about #mitochondria! It was my great pleasure to have @martazaninello.bsky.social to visit us in @unibirmingham.bsky.social and give a seminar on RNA-binding proteins, axons and mitochondria! 💚 Even Old Joe was #GreenForMito and #mitoaware 💚

On the cover #MolecularCell. In this issue Acharya and Demetriades show how #mTORC1 🎈activation mediates its own release from the #lysosomes 🪐🌎. It was my pleasure to bring to life the grand idea from Aishwarya and Costas!
