We have developed a new workflow to map whole human organs at single-cell resolution, while integrating spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.

We applied this workflow to map precancerous lesions of the fallopian tubes.

@dalfaculty.bsky.social know how to hold a solidarity rally!
@caut.bsky.social members from across the country; $1M donation from CAUT Defence Fund and the DFA letter to the BOG taped to the doors (locked, of course)

Instead of teaching and research this will count as service to the profession!

We have amazing, thoughtful students who understand very well what a university should be. #WeAreDal #KeepDalStrong
Instagram post from the Dal Student Union: dalstudentunion “Last night, the DSU council voted to affirm its support for DFA members, reflecting that the strength of the university community depends on the well-being of both students and faculty. We are strongly calling for the Board to return to the bargaining table and engage in good faith to reach a fair deal with faculty. Students, faculty, and staff are essential to the functioning of Dalhousie, and decisions that destabilize this community threaten the quality of education and well-being of students. We, as students, know that an injury to our faculty is an injury to us all. Their fight is our fight, and we proudly stand in solidarity with the DFA. Stay tuned for more DSU-led advocacy efforts and action-items!”

1000 faculty members have been locked out of @dalhousieu.bsky.social since Aug 18. That means 90% of classes WILL NOT start next week. The Board of Governors needs to come back to the table and stop playing with the future of our students.

Medical students should be learning today, in anatomy labs, getting curriculum maps, receiving lectures and engaging with Faculty. Next week ALL students will be as behind in ALL programs, engineering, law, biology, EVERYTHING!!!
Dalhousie is a Canadian U15 institution - an unprecedented lock out
DMNB DFA members in New Brunswick raise their fists in solidarity with colleagues, wearing DFA shirts in front of the medical school that they are locked out of. DFA members in New Brunswick point to their backs, where #KeepDalStrong is printed on their DFA T-shirts They stand looking at the medical school they are locked out of, and so can't teach medical or graduate students there.

🪼 How did the animal body plan evolve?

This ‘fundamental’ study in Clytia sheds light on how Wnt3 coordinates both gene expression and planar cell polarity during axis formation, offering key insights into the origins of morphogenesis.
