ER-associated single-capped vaults are surprising and really cool!🤩 Some even contain ribosomes. Vault function is still mysterious but a role in protein quality control seems plausible.

Also great to see Dicty in the #TeamTomo spotlight! #ProtistsOnSky @kgeissler.bsky.social @becklab.bsky.social 🧪

Molecular glue degraders don't just block proteins; they reprogram cellular recognition logic to eliminate "undruggable" targets entirely.

If you want to map the spatial composition of a tissue or organ, 3D mapping is not an option.

It is absolutely necessary.

Due to its inherent undersampling, 2D omic mapping is almost always misleading.

Why should public or charitable funds support journals that refuse to meet basic standards of how they review papers and use publication fees?

Once a journal meets disclosure requirements, then scientists, not funders, should decide where to publish.

Transparency sets the floor.
Scientific judgment stays with researchers.

These requirements reduce information asymmetries, increase accountability, and let scientists make informed publishing choices.

Funders should use their leverage to force transparency, not to rank or judge journals.

Example:
Publishing in Biology (MDPI) costs ~$3,400
for profit, 17.5 day turnaround, doesn't pay reviewers

Biology Open @biologists.bsky.social costs $2,500
nonprofit, ≤7 working day turnaround, pays reviewers, uses explicit rubrics and QC checks.

Some funders are taking small steps.
@hhmi-science.bsky.social requires preprints on servers like @openrxiv.bsky.social

Others restrict use of grant funds for APCs. But these policies don't address journal quality and peer-review rigor.

Responsible use of tax dollars or charitable funds means ensuring research is published in journals that meet clear standards for rigor and transparency.

This is not about prestige.
It’s about quality and accountability.

Should funders mandate where grantees can publish?
Probably not.

But funders could mandate where grantees cannot publish.

L'Europe doit rester solide face à ces connards, parce que c'est typiquement les move de bâtards comme Musk qui vont vouloir s'en débarrasser et tous les droitos de merde. Le truc hilarant c'est l'ED française ou autre qui ne comprend pas que les US leur chie dessus pareil en ce moment.

Trump et son gouvernement vont donc lutter contre les gens qui luttent contre la haine.

C'est un beau résumé de ces gros nazis.
Le régime de Trump frappe de sanctions personnelles :

- Les juges qui agissent contre les crimes internationaux

- Les responsables d'ONG luttant contre la haine (!)

- Un ex-commissaire européen en raison d'un choix démocratique souverain.

Ce régime est ennemi mortel de la démocratie libérale.

I will be recruiting two postdocs early next year.
- One image analyst
- one biologist interested in working on lymphatics!

Reach out if you are interested 👍
The Center is a wonderful collaboration with scientists extraordinaire @taijamakinenlab.bsky.social Kari Vaahtomeri and Cecilia Sahlgren.

We are all recruiting, so keep an eye on our website If you are looking for a postdoc position 😀
I am delighted to introduce our new Centre of Excellence in Immune-Endothelial Interfaces (IMMENs) funded by the Research Council of Finland.

This is exactly why people claiming "it came up with a new set of experiments/ideas/concepts" are carrying water for the weasels trying to put genAI on everything. This is how we get science defunded. This is how your colleagues lose their jobs 🧪
Suppose you ask #AI for improvements to your writing.

The #LLM was trained on, but doesn’t mention, Smith’s work.

You adopt the suggestions containing Smith’s ideas.

You don’t even realize YOU’VE PLAGIARIZED because you’ve never read or heard of Smith.
