Iām very excited to share that my PhD work is now published @eLife! We used a combination of genetics, cell biology and biochemistry to identify a new endosomal complex in yeast, which we named VINE šæ Early access here: elifesciences.org/articles/7ā¦. (1/n).

Interesting paper, awesome name for a shortened BAR domain!
MiniBAR has a unique truncated BAR domain, is a dual Rac / Rab #GTPases effector and controls both actin cytoskeleton and membrane trafļ¬cking in ciliogenesis.

Yeast friendsāthis is an interesting approach to getting around stubborn, tag-intolerant proteins for imaging studies

"Here, we successfully use LIVE-PAINT to image yeast membrane proteins that do not tolerate the direct fusion of a fluorescent protein by using peptide tags as short as 5-residues"

Finally the community has a reliable, specific and high affinity probe to detect PI(3,5)P2 ! I am very excited about the new insights that this new tool will deliver about how this rare phospholipid controls diverse cellular events. Been great working on this with @jasonkinglab

Iām excited to share that after five amazing years with @conibear_liz and @UBC @CMMT_UBC, I have defended my doctoral dissertation and finished my PhD in Medical Genetics.
We made some exciting discoveries over the years, and published papers that Iām truly proud of. 1/n.

Most of all, I want to thank @conibear_liz for being such an inspiring mentor and fiercely creative scientific role model. It was a privilege to work in the Conibear lab, and it wouldnāt be possible to synthesize all of the things I learned from Liz into a single tweet. (3/n).

A good perspective on the new changes @elife from a senior editor:
21 Oct 2022
as a long time seniorĀ editor for @eLife I (MJF) thought I'd weigh in. When I first heard about the plan in its initial conception, I had my reservations for many of the same reasons some of you articulating. I've changed my mind. I think it is worth a shot

We have all (rightfully) complained about how flawed the current science publishing system is.
The @eLife team is now challenging this status quo by abandoning the traditional āaccepted manuscriptā title to instead publish everything that gets reviewed, along with an assessment.
20 Oct 2022
Today, weāre introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions.
By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. elifesciences.org/inside-eliā¦

Manuscript accepted!! šŗš¼š¾ This was a large, multi-lab project and Iām happy to have contributed to its success. Stay tuned for yeast membrane contact sites, lipid biology and a first glimpse at the (very) complicated inner workings of a potential new lipid transport proteināLec1
