Is there an option to join online? Will the talks be recorded/available later on?

🧠How does the brain fine-tune its circuits during development?

Kamaldeep Singh and colleagues from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research uncover a new mechanism: how tiny transport vesicles inside neurons, called endosomes, help guide these changes.

Thanks for sharing! Super useful!

SO cool! Such a crisp summary, looking forward to reading the whole article!

Are you an early-stage graduate student (2nd or 3rd year) or early-stage postdoc based in the US or Canada, working primarily in Drosophila? Would you like to help improve the experience of all trainees working in Drosophila research? If so, read on.

Multi-omic mapping of Drosophila protein secretomes reveals tissue-specific origins and inter-organ trafficking Secreted proteins regulate many aspects of animal biology and are attractive targets for biomarkers and therapeutics. However, comprehensively identifying the "secretome", along with their tissues of ...

I’m thrilled to share a @biorxivpreprint for my postdoc work in the @PerrimonLab🎉. Together with our collaborators, we built a tissue-specific atlas of circulating secreted proteins in Drosophila 🧬🪰🧪🗺️.

Reviewing PhD Applications: A stream of consciousness — Gonzales Lab A list of notes takes in real-time when reviewing PhD applications and interviews

When reviewing PhD applications this cycle, I made small notes of things that stood out to me. Both good and bad.

I think it could be helpful to those considering applying this Fall.

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

The overwhelming sentiment of the past few weeks is that the US Government is no longer a good faith employer. In a global marketplace with competition from both private companies and state actors, this is going to prove much more costly to the US taxpayer than any savings, which they will never see

Many US students don’t know how to seek opportunities outside the US. With some help from our colleagues in EU and Canada, we could put together a consolidated website of PhD opportunities and scholarships outside the US, organized by field. There might still be time for this year in some places.

They're right on time for our Spring PhD Call at the Vienna Biocenter @vbcscitraining.bsky.social. Apply here: training.vbc.ac.at/phd-programm... by April 15 (23:59 CET). Please spread the word—we're thrilled to welcome top students from all over the globe. Science unites us!

EMBL has a single PhD application where a student can apply to any of our 80 labs in our 6 sites, with applications twice a year--the next March 10th! No need for MS, no application fee. Ranked 13th in the world on basis of publications, with emphais on junior faculty
