Please RT: #TenureTrack faculty position in #Genetics at University of San Francisco.
They are seeking "candidates with research programs utilizing experimental and/or molecular approaches to understand the genetics of model organisms (or emerging model organisms), including microbes, plants, or animals."
"These peptides are translated from the same bicistronic transcript and share sequence similarities, suggesting that they encode paralogs. Yet, Sloth1 and Sloth2 are not functionally redundant, and loss of either peptide causes animal lethality, reduced neuronal function, impaired mitochondrial function, and neurodegeneration." https://elifesciences.org/articles/82709

The Twitter to Mastodon migration is even in the NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/07/technology/mastodon-twitter-elon-musk.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
"The book, which is a very personal guide to fiction writing peppered with biography and opinion, contains a handful of strange, and strangely revealing, moments such as these, when his experiences read more like passages from his novels than fact." https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/nov/06/novelist-as-a-vocation-by-haruki-murakami-review-the-secrets-behind-the-literary-phenomenon
An interesting meta analysis would be to map authors to reviewer and editor requests. With preprints and transparent peer review there might be enough information out there - the limiting factor would be the author contribution statements.

Deadline tomorrow! We are hiring postdocs for two projects. One seeks to reveal how neural activity is structured in brainwide patterns to support diverse behaviors in mice. The other aims to relate the activity of a single neuron with that of thousands of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons across the mouse cortex (w Alipasha Vaziri and Federico Rossi). We are interested in people with diverse backgrounds, not only those with specific experience. https://tinyurl.com/CortexlabPostdoc. #neuroscience

Have you visited the #FlyWire website yet? Both for helping proofread and analyze the whole #Drosophila brain #connectome, or simply to admire the beautiful renderings of neuronal arbors: https://join.flywire.ai
(See also the #VirtualFlyBrain for #ontology-driven navigation of the fly brain, and access to images of genetic driver lines, and more: https://v2.virtualflybrain.org/org.geppetto.frontend/geppetto?id=VFB_00101567&i=VFB_00101567 )
Wish I had time or resources to create such a beautiful landing page for the larval central nervous system. The #connectome of the whole larval brain is coming soon. For now, see the #vEM images and some ~3,000 published neurons in this #CATMAID server: https://l1em.catmaid.virtualflybrain.org/?pid=1&zp=108250&yp=82961.59999999999&xp=54210.799999999996&tool=tracingtool&sid0=1&s0=2.4999999999999996&help=true&layout=h(XY,%20%7B%20type:%20%22neuron-search%22,%20id:%20%22neuron-search-1%22,%20options:%20%7B%22annotation-name%22:%20%22papers%22%7D%7D,%200.6)

Something more lively! No video embedding here so let's go for a GIF. Mmmh OK there are some strange rules, less than 10 MB, no 1920x1080... Here's a living neuron expressing tagged actin with tickling dendritic spines:
Meanwhile, in the Eastern US:
"Species considered human commensals like squirrels, and raccoons had high seroprevalence, ranging between 62%-71%, and sites with high human use had three times higher seroprevalence than low human-use areas."

Tenure Track Faculty position in Ecology at the University of Arizona. Still a little more time today to apply! If you are still interested, see information below or please DM me.
"Here, we combined pooled CRISPR-Cas9-based functional screening of 5,072 fitness-conferring genes in human HeLa cells with microscopy-based imaging of DNA, the DNA damage response, actin, and microtubules. Analysis of >31 million individual cells identified measurable phenotypes for >90% of gene knockouts, implicating gene targets in specific cellular processes"

"Grunya Sukhareva published her findings about the children in two German papers — one in 1926, about the boys, and a 1927 paper about the girls — in which she stated that the cases represented a previously unrecognized group of disorders. Today, these case studies read as descriptions of children with autism"

@victoralab Glad to find friendly not quite faces here!
"On Monday, the universities in the Netherlands opened a hotline for scientists who receive threats. According to the universities, scientists have experienced “too much” online hatred, physical threats, and harassment in recent years. They hope the hotline will make it easy for them to find help."
