Happy holiday ❄️⛄🎅! Global protein synthesis rates can fluctuate dramatically as a function of food intake, infections, energy resources, etc. Wondering whether/how protein elimination routes adapt to these changes to maintain proteome homeostasis ? Find out here: www.cell.com/cell-systems....

Remind me, how much money does Cell pay reviewers to deal with this ?
Wow this is a seriously serious supplementary figure from @cellpress.bsky.social today. Panels A through UU.
I get that Cell likes to minimize the number of supplementary figures. But is this really what is happening here?

If someone you know buys into claims about "genetic optimization" of embryos using polygenic scores of cognition, just send them our 2024 paper on Beethoven & musicality. We wrote it to help communicate limits of individual-level genetic predictions & complexity of links between DNA & behaviour. 🧪👇
Notes from Beethoven’s genome
Wesseldijk et al. compare the genomic information collected from Ludwig van Beethoven
with population-based datasets used to quantify musical achievement.

Drosophila research without FlyBase would be untenable. Time for all labs who can afford it to step up.
A reminder you/your lab can support FlyBase at Cambridge through the following link. Every bit helps. Please share if you yourself can't donate.

The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard.
