Lunch with a view at 1590m. But no snow in November, this is pretty 😱😱😱. Let’s hope for a promising outcome of COP30 meeting in Brazil.

CiliaQ Editor just received a convenient upgrade allowing to faster inspect and correct segmentations of #cilia in the #CiliaQ workflow (automatic color & BC adjustment, new functions, etc.). If you update FIJI, you automatically update to the new version. All details at github.com/hansenjn/Cil....

🤔 Is motile #cilia dysfunction a cause of #hydrocephalus ?
The answer depends on who you ask and which species you study. 🤔😕🧐
In mice, motile cilia dysfunction almost always leads to hydrocephalus. In humans, however, the link is far less clear. So why the difference?

Very special encounter today at Prague museum! It was incredible to see the skeleton of two of the first humanoids Lucy and Selam from 3.2 millions years ago. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Prague! @emreyaksi.bsky.social
The original fossils of human ancestors Lucy & Selam welcome you to the new exhibition People and Their Ancestors - National museum
Exclusively on display from Ethiopia – the land of origin

PSA: around 5-8% of the population has a color vision impairment for red/green.
Many talks at #2025ICDB still use red-green LUTs on slides that are not accessible to everyone.
Changing to more accessible colors is doable and easy.
We can do better.

For all zebrafish folks - seems like there is finally a good/better zebrafish annotation! Check it out - and thanks to Shawn and his team for putting this together!
Some exciting news! NCBI has finished the annotation pipeline for our new #zebrafish reference sequence GRCz12tu:

This is a big step up in data depth and quality and should be super helpful going forward.

I am very happy to contribute this amazing story. In this paper, I generated a genetic tool to trace CSF proteins in the brain ventricles in a noninvasive way. See below and it works very well!!
We identified to our surprise that diffusion plays a major role in distributing small proteins within the brain. See the video below showing the movement of a photoconverted secreted protein in the brain ventricle (credits to our genetic and imaging wizard @inyoungj88.bsky.social)
