Cancer Research UK is fed up of paying too much for open access publishing so they are completely stopping funding this activity:
news.cancerresearchuk.org/2026/04/01/w...
The open access movement was bold and promising, but ultimately disappointing. Now is the time to stop and call for a new way to make publishing work…
My Dispatch published today in @currentbiology.bsky.social!

In 1950, Bruno Straub described depolymerization as the great unsolved problems of actin biology. A new cryo-EM study from Dominguez lab at @pennmuscle.bsky.social now reveals it all! @emoryuniversity.bsky.social
📢Excited to share that my NIH R35 MIRA grant has been renewed: $2.4M over 5 years to support our work on actin dynamics.🎉🎉
We’re growing & recruiting postdocs + research/project assistants. Please reach out & share.

Exciting news from the lab! 🎉
Ekram's presentation at the #APSMarchMeeting was selected for the DBIO Best Talk Award. A well-deserved recognition - and it comes with a stipend & lifetime bragging rights😉.
Congratulations, Ekram! 👏

I really wish Wellcome and UKRI would follow the lead of CRUK!
Senior professors - if you want to help your junior colleagues in these times, I am begging you, review our papers. I have done 25 manuscript reviews in the last 6 years. But my own manuscript is stalled out waiting for reviewers. Relatedly, I won't be doing any more reviews until tenure. 🧪
