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!)
@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.

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
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.

Are you a professor / group leader looking for a course to teach that would be extremely welcomed by graduate students & postdocs? Come train with us in how to teach the tools of the creative scientific process in our European train the trainer event in Heidelberg.

Very cool new work on the origins of animal multicullularity!

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

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.
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)
