Fantastic event on a critical current topic - academic freedom and resilience of science. This is the ethos of our @young-pi-neuro26.bsky.social Symposium 2026! Let's continue this conversation: youngpisymposium2026.com
Bravo @humboldt-foundation.de & great speakers for highlighting this topic π
the latest from the Aktas Lab @aktast.bsky.social @molgen.mpg.de π€©! linking nuclear speckles to splicing and evolution - insights at many scales as they do among the very best π«
@tjryan.bsky.social will join the @fens.org satellite @young-pi-neuro26.bsky.social as a keynote speaker. He is Professor of Neuroscience at @tcddublin.bsky.social and Chair of the FENS Advocacy Committee. He will speak about advocacy for neuroscience in Europe. Join us π youngpisymposium2026.com
WFMUβs 2026 Fundraising Marathon kicks off next Monday, March 2, and runs through March 15! Support the best freeform radio station to ever rock the airwaves! With your support comes beautiful new swag and amazing DJ premiums. Help us with a pledge here:

Ribosomes in pairs: A survival strategy inside stressed cells.
When nutrients drop or temperatures shift, cells switch to survival mode. New work by @erin-schuman.bsky.social & colleagues shows that inactive ribosomes pair up via a ribosomal RNA link @andschwarz.bsky.social @muellermara.bsky.social
the implications of such rRNA expansion segments reach far beyond neurons - this is millions of years of evolution reaching beyond the ribosome surface π«
explorers at the farthest reaches of our knowledge π€© neuronal ribosomes, and their mysterious rRNA expansion segments
immense story from the dream team @andschwarz.bsky.social & @muellermara.bsky.social in the @erin-schuman.bsky.social lab at @mpibrain.bsky.social

Time for a thread on our Christmas preprint βOrigin and evolution of acrocentric chromosomes in human and great apesβ. I had so much fun with this project and paper. It will be hard to summarize in a thread, but Iβll try www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... [1/21]
i'll see you there Dafni!
join us to build resilience in these times of uncertainty for neuroscience...for (all)science. anyone reading the news in the US and UK lately? stronger π€ together

We wrote a protocol article detailing induction of dormancy in stem cells, embryos, and blastoids. We hope that it is useful to the community. As usual fun to work with @nicolasrivron.bsky.social, Heidar and Dhanur.
