@NeurIPSConf Also she used some unverified source of information to make a huge implication targeting a group of people, while she was talking about cherrypicking is not upright. She was literally doing the same thing, how ironic! Where did her logic go?😅

[Zhìdòng Tán @TLPyriden]

@NeurIPSConf The only reason she feels sorry is because she got caught being racist and she is just regretting that she did it too obviously. From this statement I see no real reflection on herself. She will do the same thing next time, we will see

@NeurIPSConf Do not sugarcoat hateful speech that targets specific ethnic group as your so-called “cultural generalization”. Also, just to be clear, cultural generalization itself is a form of racism.🫢

[Zhiyu Zoey Chen @ZhiyuChen4]

I'm shocked to see racism happening in academia again, at the best AI conference @NeurIPSConf. Targeting specific ethnic groups to describe misconduct is inappropriate and unacceptable. @NeurIPSConf must take a stand. We call on Rosalind Picard @MIT @medialab to retract and apologize for her statement.

Was trying to figure out how could the curve for the fit in G make sense, then realized that is my hair…

Super happy to share my latest PhD paper. In this work, we uncover a novel mechanism responsible for the branched F-actin polymerization in the rear of cells. This work reveals that Arp2/3-based actin carries out a previously unappreciated function in building the rear cortex.

@LiviaSongster Wow, it looks so cool! Never have I expected that the peroxisome could move so fast.

Molecular simulations reveal how membrane pores are formed by gasdermin-D, a protein important in cell death in inflammation and infection. https://t.co/mBaUEyG2mO

WASP and branched F-actin at trailing edge! 🤯Go to check how cells move in this circumstance.🤭

[Dong Li @dongli02]

@biorxiv_cellbio We have identified a novel mechanism for branched F-actin assembly at the rear of migrating cells.

Most biologists thinking that 'they can code'.

[J Cell Science @J_Cell_Sci]

Wang, Cai &co report a metabolic role of macropinocytosis regulated by Slc15A in Dictyostelium; more in our Research highlight: https://t.co/C2J7rZd3Xl

[Zhìdòng Tán @TLPyriden]

Congrats on two very nice persons in my former lab. 🎉 Studying cool science on how cell sense nutrition conditions at very first steps of macropinocytosis (Yiwei Zhang) and a new mechanism of Rab switching during endosome maturation (Reference https://t.co/GjOGFWczvD) (Tu Hui)

[J Cell Science @J_Cell_Sci]

Take a look at our 'First persons' interview with Yiwei Zhang and Hui Tu on their PhD work in the lab of Huaqing Cai at Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, investigating lipid transport: https://t.co/rpZsX4Rfnp

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

Scientific method explained.

[Zhìdòng Tán @TLPyriden]

Right now, I happened to know that Dictyostelium will go through closed mitosis (or at least semi-open mitosis).
My world start to crush.🤯

[Zhìdòng Tán @TLPyriden]

Reminding me something and I started suffering from PTSD🆘

[Zhìdòng Tán @TLPyriden]

Very informative…
