Happy to share our work in @embojournal 👉 shorturl.at/zXNyn
For decades, we’ve known cells dismantle & rebuild the nuclear envelope in sync with spindle poles. But why does this coordination matter? And how do pole material properties ensure error-free division?

Vaccines save lives. There is no credible evidence that they cause autism.
Pretending otherwise hurts kids twice – by undermining trust in vaccines, and by distracting from the urgent need to understand and address autism itself.

The "reproducibility crisis" in science constantly makes headlines. Repro efforts are often limited. What if you could assess reproducibility of an entire field?
That's what @brunolemaitre.bsky.social et al. have done. Fly immunity is highly replicable & offers lessons for #metascience

We use Drosophila to study how injury in one organ triggers immune/regenerative responses in another, via inter-organ communication.

I’ve been saying for a long time that encouraging more girls/women(/underrepresented groups) into academia does not solve inequality @ higher ranks, which is due to the leaky pipeline ie job insecurity, high mobility onus, unconscious bias and overall lack of supports. Good but sad to see the data.
"Even in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years."
