Bob Goldstein makes gig posters for scientists invited to give seminars at UNC... I thought it was high time that someone made a gig poster for Bob! So I invited him to Dev Bio @ Stanford's "Frontiers in Biology" and made this block print for his talk about Tardigrades:

Really excited to present the results of a great collaboration with the lab of Ophir Klein! 😃 A truly interdisciplinary effort, led by Neha and Pengfei, that reveals how tissue pressure sets the main tooth signaling center. Out today in Nature Cell Biology ➡️ nature.com/articles/s4155…

Study (N=163) finds women professors did 75% of internal service work; men 25%. Women viewed it as compliance or an investment; men dodged with evasiveness or used barter. Yet men did 50% of external service work. @mikmeyer kifinfo.no/en/2024/03/wom…

Scientific Achievement Unlocked! My science has been covered in The New York Times by Carl Zimmer! He did a wonderful job highlighting these two recent papers that independently contribute to our understanding of the extreme radiation tolerance of tardigrades. nytimes.com/2024/04/12/sci…

Our lab is in search of one or two enthusiastic individuals to serve as lab technicians. Our lab uses Drosophila to study cell adhesion, cytoskeletal regulation, and Wnt signaling in development and in diseases such as cancer RT 1/4

We are delighted to announce our second cohort of Pathway to Independence Fellows, with whom we will be working over the next year as they look for their first independent position. Find out more about these eight talented postdocs: journals.biologists.com/dev/pages/pife…

That amazing paper you spent years on? That amazing breakthrough you had? Very likely you built this following the work of others (very few exceptions), just as others will build off yours. Science is a continuum. Want to leave a lasting legacy in science? Be generous & be kind.

We are thrilled to share our first manuscript! A proteoglycan Versican helps the swollen hyaluronate in ECM accumulate & swell more for inner ear canal morphogenesis. The transcription factor Lmx1b promotes the synthesis of this sugary matrix! Yusuke Mori & Sierra's hard work 🙏

Our *1000th* microscope! Thanks U.S. National Science Foundation for support, Kenji Yoshino for the original design, and @Sawyer4Chris for sharing stories about students, learning, and NCTIES. If you're a teacher who built one, you're one in a thousand! :) The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill UNC College of Arts and Sciences #nced unc.edu/posts/2024/09/…
