The extracellular matrix can be surprisingly dynamic during development. Check out the work led by @_LaloSM showing that basement membrane assembly directly contributes forces initiating Drosophila central nervous system morphogenesis cell.com/developmental-cell/…

Excited to announce the next VGZT on April 20th - we will hear from @awilliams_sci and @maitrejl about collective cell migration, blebs, and more!

Had a great day back at CLSC where I did my grad work. Thanks to @SHBLab for hosting. Stimulating discussion with students, postdocs and former mentors when I was student here, including Rick Fehon, @Mglo, Urs Schmidt-Ott and of course Chip Ferguson. @UChicago

1/4 This June, lab member Kristin Sherrard, Drosophologist by day and novelist in the wee hours of the morning, attended @Co_Biologists’ Creative Science Writing workshop, a bold new venture for all concerned.

3/4 The story concerns long-term outcomes of climate change, playing out in a future Antarctica settled by renegade scientists. When youngsters find a diary from the colony’s early days they learn of dark secrets of its founding, and a danger now threatening their isolated home.

An intriguing hypothesis linking molecular biology, genomics, and the evolution of eukaryotes.
If you study meiosis, genomics, or genetics, would love see you weigh in.

Is there a link between the molecular mechanisms of sex, the persistence expansion of introns, & patterns of sympatric speciation?
A rich new paper by Victoria Foe in @iobopen proposes a single explanation for several mysteries.
A summary thread! 1/n

Our #SpotlightZebrafish this week is on Dr. Adam Isabella (@AdamIsabella1), who is a #Postdoc w/ @CeciliaMoens @fredhutch. He studies the mechanisms of nerve innervation patterning during development and regeneration. For his latest work @Dev_journal, see: journals.biologists.com/dev/…

Our paper is now in press with an interesting Dispatch from Wen Lu and @volodya_gelfand discussing how multiple kinesin motors work together in many systems, with some great ideas to test out in the egg chamber. Thanks!!!
