Early embryo is thought of a pre-set machine that's set to go once it's fertilized - check out this gorgeous 📽️from Phil Keller!
🚨Pre-print Alert!🚨
THRILLED to share our new story with MANY unexpected turns, leading us into territories entirely new to the lab!
*A mitochondrial redox switch licences the onset of morphogenesis in animals*
A detailed🧵on it will follow soon!!

How does #cancer kill? Learn about a new mechanism involving tumor-induced opening of the blood-brain barrier, in both flies & mice. Superb longterm work by @Jung_Kim_PhD; collab with @david_raulet & Kaoru Saijo labs @berkeleyMCB. https://t.co/p3c3BtqHgS
What did a Lexus copy from a Blue Morpho butterfly? What makes butterflies shimmer (pssst... it's not pigment)? Genetics plays with physics to affect selection? Join us for a fascinating talk and chat later with Nipam Patel coming Friday, 10th Sept at 5:30pm IST.
With the new academic year starting, and many people beginning fresh as graduate students, post-docs, or junior faculty, I have been thinking a lot about the core philosophies that govern my own perspectives on science. So I thought I would share.
Welcome to The Tao of Cheese
If the fundamental unit of life is a cell, then 𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝐵𝑖𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑙 must be 1 of the building blocks of Cell Biology!
Our next speaker is none other than 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬 from @UCSF!
