Not only did 3M know the toxicological and environmental hazards of PFOS by the mid 1970s, they had themselves detected it in background human blood by the late 70s - this according to former employee Jim Johnson, detailed today in the New Yorker. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

Appreciate everyone who joined us for the #BayAreaLipidomicsMeeting! We're excited about the future of lipidomics and the collaborations that will emerge from our discussions. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push the boundaries of research together!

🇺🇸🇨🇦🇩🇪𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲? Thanks to all the postdocs at #goGAIN24 in SF who showed us what they need to take this step: from core facilities to care possibilities for kids - we talked about very different & conrete needs. A few 📸

We are looking for PostDoc with a background in redox biology, experience with cell culture models and basic microscopy imaging to study #lipid #metabolism in the context of #ferroptosis. Interested? Send me your CV and motivation letter by Sep 10th. #ZML Ferroptosis (SPP 2306)

This is an amazing opportunity! Masha is the most dedicated Mentor I have ever worked with and Dresden will become THE location for lipid research in Germany! Apply, apply, apply!!!

Faculty position alert! UC Berkeley Assistant Professor position in the Dept of Molecular & Cell Biology UC Berkeley MCB. Come join us! 😀

Had a great time today presenting my work at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network down at Stanford University! I am really happy to see what cool Lipidomics focused science is being down here in the Bay Area. Thanks Brian C. DeFelice for the invitation!! #GoLipids

🥳A tuneable minimal cell membrane reveals that two lipid species suffice for life: nature.com/articles/s4146…. We chemically minimized the membrane of the Minimal Cell...they survived, but with some interesting shapes, like this 'Death Star' phenotype Isaac J. Craig Venter Institute

A fantastic lipid focused talk today by Ilya Levental!! They have it all: modelling, in vitro and in cell data showing the importance of asymmetric membranes. All supplemented with some cool lipidomics data from Lipotype in Dresden!

Announcement📢 - We are thrilled to announce that the December #webinar will be presented by Laura Goracci on the slightly different day of Wednesday 11th December. Register now: cardiff.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

I am excited to preprint my postdoc work in the James Olzmann! We have discovered the first lipid droplet quality control pathway with broad implications for lipid physiology and diseases associated with LD accumulation and oxidative stress! #lipidtime shorturl.at/2HqFd
