@biologists.bsky.social do an enormous amount to support ECRs. I have certainly benefited from some of this work thought their workshop program and the Pathway to Independence fellowship.
Unacceptable! Have people started asking for refunds? We don't use Thermo antibodies much but have a couple in the freezer (one I have to admit is good!)
ECRs – apply by 12 June for a funded place at our Workshop on Rethinking Cell Differentiation and Development: A Unicellular Perspective, organised by Elena Casacuberta & James Gahan @jgahan.bsky.social

Very cool new work on the origins of animal multicullularity!
Capolavoro 🎨 alert 🚨! What is the role of gene body methylation in invertebrates? Despite extensive speculation linking it to plasticity and environmental responses, its mechanistic effects and heritability remain unclear. Our take out in @natecoevo.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

Experiments in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis show a role of gene body methylation in transposable element suppression and that epigenetic inheritance is constrained by chromatin context and tra...
We believe that, as our future leaders in biology, it's vital to provide ECRs with the right support during the early stages of your academic career. We offer practical ways to help you meet the unique needs & challenges you may encounter as an ECR.
Excited to share that I will start my lab at the Center for Integrative Genomics in Lausanne @unil.bsky.social in Jan 2027! I’m looking for PhD students fascinated by how cells build tissues and excited about developing new technologies to study development across scales. www.wanlab.bio/pages/9397

For decades, cellular aggregation was considered an evolutionary dead end.
Cells could come together temporarily.
But complex multicellular organisms like animals?
Our study, led by JP Gerdt, with Ruibao & @jennahed.bsky.social suggests it may be time to rethink that🧵 #ProtistsOnSKy
We are looking for a new colleague to join us in Galway. The position is in Biochemistry and if research focus lines up we hope the successful person will join us in the Centre for Chromosome biology (chromosome.ie). Reach out if you are interested in applying!

On these pages we highlight the range of resources that we offer to early-career researchers.
Thermo Fisher now has a page up in response to our observations. They flatly deny that images were manipulated or fabricated while repeating that images were "optimized for presentation and clarity on the website", no lie, six times.

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes:
🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting
🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)
