Do you want to understand how developmental programs are encoded in animal genomes? Join our lab at the @szndohrn.bsky.social for a PhD project to unravel the developmental dynamics in sea urchins during the metamorphosis from larva to juvenile.

Should leave it to human rights attorneys and historians to define what is going on. Tragedy doesn't cut it. It's an indiscriminate mass slaughter. I am truly sorry for the fate of your family in Europe. Weapons and weaponized starving have and are exterminating plenty of families in Gaza, too.

Children and families are dying of starvation if they survive the bombing. Yet still many hesitate to publicly criticise what is happening in Gaza

When future generations read about Gaza with horror and wonder how we allowed a livestreamed genocide to happen, what will you say?

please, help me circulate to prospective students that may be interested in a a multi-faceted PhD involving developmental cell biology, biochemistry, recombinant protein design/production, and -omics data analysis.

How do cellular organelles contribute to cell differentiation and development? Come join us @szndohrn.bsky.social‬. Make affinity reagents and purify sea urchin embryos' Golgi complexes at different stages to determine how its machinery is dynamically remodelled to assist embryogenesis.

Great work by Joel Dacks & Cathy Jackson! Arf GTPases, key to eukaryotic organelle dynamics, trace their origins to prokaryotic ArfR GTPases in Asgardarchaeota. Structural and phylogenetic evidence reveals a link to eukaryogenesis and early endomembrane evolution.

The Asgard archaeal origins of Arf family GTPases involved in eukaryotic organelle dynamics - Nature Microbiology
Eukaryotic Arf family proteins involved in endomembrane organelle dynamics arose from the Asgard archaeal ArfR GTPases, indicating this capability likely originated in the archaeal ancestor of eukaryotes.

Gaza University publishes a call for volunteers to teach remotely.

All of Gazas twelve universities have been destroyed or badly damaged through Israeli air strikes or controlled demolitions
