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. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-get-started-use-mastodon/
@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. https://www.cell.com/current-biology/pdfExtended/S0960-9822(20)30643-6

#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 https://opg.optica.org/boe/fulltext.cfm?uri=boe-13-12-6443&id=521727, driven by @PeterTinning@twitter.com with @mark_donnachie@twitter.com, @JayLChristopher@twitter.com ... 🧵1/5

"Specifically, the researchers found that clusters of #Hendra 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 🙃
#intro
Hello! I am a PhD student in System Biology at #UdeM. I am passionate about science and in love with #immunology
Bachelor in Biology-Genetics #ufrj
Masters in Oncology #inca (Brazilian National Cancer Institute),
I've been working on onco-immunology for 10 years. I started by improving CAR-T cell design, and in the last five years, I focused on understanding the tumor immune microenvironment using #scrnaseq #bioinfo
MIT are looking to build a more equitable and inclusive culture, and have created 15 postdoctoral fellowships for engineers from groups that have been historically excluded from MIT. The scheme is open to international scholars. #WomenInSTEM #BlackInSTEM #Inclusivity

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 ✨

Isn't #GenomeSegmentation costly for viruses, as many particles will have an incomplete genome? Study shows that co-infecting incomplete #bunyavirus particles can reconstitute a complete genome, supporting infection & potentially transmission #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3hL0MCK
I've worked on all of science, from B cells to T cells.
