Henry De Belly's elegant work on front-rear coupling during cell migration is out in bioRxiv! Being a part of this work has been a blast. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

You know you’re in for a disappointing wine tasting when they give you Girl Scout cookies to cleanse your palate.

A short thread about Adam Dowdell's excellent chemotaxis paper, just out in @CurrentBiology. It shows how combinations of ligands for the same receptors cause fascinating & counterintuitive outcomes (1/n)

Some of these designers obviously went on to work for the company that creates the interfaces we use institutionally.

Probably the best thing you'll see today.
In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.

President Grant warned us.
Ulysses S. Grant, 1822—1885
A quote from a speech in which Grant advocated for free public education so the electorate could make good choices. He saw a split between the educated & less educated as a profound & dangerous division:

Just drove our Ioniq5 to get groceries and charge up. Behind a VW ID.4 on the way. While there, we saw a Volvo XC40, a Tesla model Y, and a Mustang MachE in the parking lot. Passed a Chevy Bolt on the way home. It’s getting real folks!

If there's a "soft skill" I suggest any grad student, and definitely postdoc, get good at if they plan to continue wetlab work, it's learning to pick up the fracking phone and just call a Product Rep/Field Scientist and get them to help you solve an equipment or reagent problem

You know those Best Doctor things you see in magazines? I'm so proud - they've selected me! Only problem? I'm not that kind of doc. I did not go far enough to figure out how much money they charge to list you...

Why do programs insist on circulating seminar schedules with speakers’ names but no topics? This reinforces attendance based on cliques rather than curiosity.
