WIRED just published my beginner's guide to Mastodon! Thank you to the 100+ people who responded to my request for tips and advice for understanding the culture here. wired.com/story/how-to-get-sta

@cyrilpedia I've not had a deep read of this 😍 pre-print from Oegama/Desai team but I was struck @StearnsLab about parallels of 'stopwatches' for your work with Emily on Hh, #cilia for how long in #CellCycle determining steps at subsequent #mitosis. This idea of counting time over multiple cycles is very cool. cell.com/current-biology/pdfEx

#Introduction I’m a professor of computational biology at UC Berkeley, leading a group that develops machine learning algorithms and web apps for genomics, molecular evolution, and synthetic biology. I’m also chair of the Berkeley/UCSF PhD program in Bioengineering. So I post about all that; but also about other random interests like experimental computer games, music production, silly jokes, linguistic nerdery, AI, politics, retro 8-bit coding, dadding, therapy, self-awareness, and so on.

Happy to share the latest microscope development output from the group, describing an affordable open-hardware structured illumination microscopy system using 3-axis MEMS mirrors opg.optica.org/boe/fulltext.cf, driven by @PeterTinning@twitter.com with @mark_donnachie@twitter.com, @JayLChristopher@twitter.com ... 🧵1/5

"Specifically, the researchers found that clusters of virus spillovers occur following years in which the bats experience food stress. And these food shortages typically follow years with a strong El Niño, a climatic phenomenon in the tropical Pacific Ocean that is often associated with drought along eastern Australia. But if the trees the bats rely on for food during the winter have a large flowering event the year after there’s been a food shortage, there are no spillovers. Unfortunately, the problem is “there’s hardly any winter habitat left,” says Raina Plowright, a disease ecologist and study co-author at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York."

"We show that memories of mitotic duration are integrated by a p53-based mitotic stopwatch pathway to exert tight control over proliferation. The stopwatch halts proliferation of the products of a single significantly extended mitosis or of successive modestly extended mitoses. Time in mitosis is monitored via mitotic kinase-regulated assembly of stopwatch complexes that are transmitted to daughter cells."

Hello everyone,

After digging a bit on Mastodon for the 1st time, I guess it’s time for a little #science #introduction.

I’m a postdoc at the #IBDM, where I am studying the effect of #oncogenes overexpressed in #hepatocellularcarcinoma.

Passionate by #CellBiology and #Cellcommunication, I studied #adhesivesmolecules function in #cellmigration and #cellinvasion in #pancreaticcancer during my PhD.

Always happy to discuss about #Actin #Cytoskeleton, #ECM remodelling & so many others things 🙃

#introduction #science OK, it seems I'm parking here for now. Let's see how it goes. Sciencey people, please do say hello.

I’m boldly going where I haven’t gone before, which is right here at this site. Apparently this is a “toot.” I would appreciate a follow!

Our new paper is now out @ScienceAdvances!

We found a surprising natural realization of a mathematical peculiarity - known as Chimera State - within swarms of synchronous fireflies ✨
