Going to be a great seminar by President and CSO @Planaria1! 🪱
#ScientificSeminarSeries🍁
Join us for a seminar by Professor Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado. From freshwater planarians to marine hemichordates, his research is uncovering fundamental principles of how living systems maintain, repair, and rebuild themselves.✨

New paper! How do RNAs "know" where to go inside a cell? We dug into the sequence elements that route RNAs to the right place. It turns out that, in mammals, they're surprisingly massive (>200 nt), multipartite, and wonderfully complicated. 🧵

📣 new preprint multimodal atlas. Imaging scRNA, 57M cells. 🧬🔬
Cells are complex dynamical systems — but most ways we measure them destroy them. We asked: how does live imaging compare to scRNA-seq, the field’s gold std?
The answer surprised us 🧵

You can’t have better teachers than Professors Subhash Lakhotia, L. S. Shashidhara and colleagues for fly biology. Apply for this ‘hands-on’ workshop on how teachers can use Drosophila for genetics, cell- and developmental biology. Ask the college teachers in your city to apply. And, enjoy a great intellectual week at @NCBS_Bangalore
Applications are open for the 8th hands-on workshop on using Drosophila melanogaster for biology laboratory classes at NCBS, Bengaluru (2–8 Sept 2026).
🗓️ Apply by July 6, 2026. 🪰
