Really enjoyed the Dutch C. elegans meeting Hubrecht Institute yesterday. Caught up with lots of NL worm people and enjoyed discussing Magnitude Biosciences. Thanks to Martin Harterink and @galli_matilde for organising!

Very happy to share our latest work, where we find an important role for Camsap and Ninein in localizing the MTOC vesicles in C. elegans dendrites to organize microtubules minus-end out.

Happy to share the pre-print on the optogenetic #microtubule severing tool (#optokatanin) I've been working on! Fast, reversible and highly localized blue-light-activated MT disassembly.✨ doi.org/10.1101/2021.1…

We are happy to welcome new Developmental Mechanobiology research group led by Teije Middelkoop at IMG! Teije has 1 open PhD project focused on "Converting molecular-scale torques to cellular and embryonic left-right asymmetry". APPLY HERE: img.cas.cz/phd

Come work with us! Assistant Professor position in molecular and cellular neurobiology. We are seeking a creative and collaborative colleague to strengthen our highly dynamic and supportive division of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Biophysics, Utrecht/Netherlands Faculty of Science, Utrecht University

Met trots reik ik vandaag de Zwaartekracht subsidies uit aan 7 topteams. Ons kleine land behoort tot de wereldtop van de wetenschap en dat bewijzen ze met onderzoek naar bv hoe kunststof gemakkelijker afbreekbaar kan worden gemaakt tot hoe je brein werkt om stress te verminderen.

Massive news: eLife to abolish accept/reject decisions: papers will just be “peer reviewed”. Others can argue about this, but lots of interesting consequences. 1/9 elifesciences.org/articles/83889

Our department collected 14.4 kg of @GBO_NL pipette tip inserts in only 1 month (pictured). 😱 What a shame that Greiner doesn't want to reuse them. Can anyone recommend any tip fill companies that do? #AcademicChatter Green Labs - NL #sustainablescience

We’re still looking for motivated candidates to join our European Doctoral Network! excitingworms.eu Deadline is coming soon. Masters graduates in genetics, neuroscience, bioinformatics are all welcome.

What better way to close the microscopy course with a Christophe Leterrier seminar. Room was packed, half by students and the other half by wannabe students.

Still time to apply! Deadline April 15. We are looking for a creative and collaborative group leader who brings a novel research direction in molecular and cellular neurobiology. We are dedicated to provide all necessary support including full access to the Biology Imaging Center

Please retweet! TWO open position for PhD candidates at my lab and Thomas Boulin's lab The Boulin Lab, within the framework of the European Training Network: Molecular plasticity of neurons during C. elegans lifespan. for more info- excitingworms.eu/nervspan/index…
