When the world gets me down I like to think of how hard my motor proteins and mitochondria are working to keep me going. They’re pretty neat.

NIH is accepting comments about limiting research publication costs. 1. Disallow pub costs, 2. $2K limit, 3. $3K if reviewers are compensated, 4. 0.8% of award (so $250K grant can pay $2K/year on pubs), 5. $6K limit on pub + limit on % of grant spent on pub costs. 🧪

Excited to share our latest work with @simonbullock11.bsky.social! We looked at how diverse mRNAs get selected for subcellular localization and it turns out that a single protein can recognize different RNA elements using shared features that weren’t apparent before.

Some sweet people have been sending physical cards and letters to the Bethesda Declaration signers. This is so kind and meaningful.

It would be GREAT if they received more. Cards can be sent to

In this light microscopy image of dividing cells within a Drosophila embryo, multiple centrosomes are labeled in cyan. Each centrosome is surrounded by a concentration of orange fluorescent dots, showing the localization of a model mRNA via single molecule detection.

Woo! Very excited to share our collaborative work on the centriole's Luminal Distal Ring ⭕. This project started 13 years ago with @hugovdhoek.bsky.social & @stearnslab.bsky.social, and then beautifully came together with @computingcaitie.bsky.social & @centriolelab.bsky.social.

🚨 New preprint!
Using U-ExM + in situ cryo-ET, we show how C2CD3 builds an in-to-out radial architecture connecting the distal centriole lumen to its appendages. Great collab with @cellarchlab.com @chgenoud.bsky.social @stearnslab.bsky.social 🙌. #TeamTomo #UExM

Today, my NIH colleagues and I did something scary but really important. We spoke up about egregious harms we are seeing happen to research participants and public health through thoughtless and politicized policies at NIH. 🧵1/3

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees

Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday

📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful

Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

If you happen to see a friend across the street, odds are you might raise an arm and wiggle your hand to say hello. Cuttlefish apparently do something similar—and that’s not the only arm gesture they use to communicate.
