Huge congrats both - so good to see this out in final form @chrisvanhoorn after all the meticulous and clever ways you approached this beast of an organelle. Stunning 🤩

Reading the paper in Cell about how to close the scissor plots in gender representation at senior academic positions, I feel just a touch of pessimism. Having reached a level of seniority (middle management) I didn’t think I ever would, I read these great ideas wanting more, much more /1.

Please share this PhD opportunity in my new lab in Bristol, using protein design/ engineering to understand and build molecular motors to control intracellular transport. Working with @markdodding.bsky.social and Prof Dek Woolfson. www.findaphd.com/phds/project... www.swbio.ac.uk/biomolecular...

Can I ask you to share a PhD advert at Bristol Uni please? Rhomboid proteases play a role in neurons that is essential for life- but it is not characterised. Got a student interested in cell biology, electrophysiology and neurobiology? Send them our way! tinyurl.com/56f24f7c

If you’re interested in how molecular motors coordinate to power intracellular trafficking events (e.g. endocytosis), I’ve got a PhD position available to study this at vibrant Bristol uni. In this project, we will capture highly dynamic events by #cryoEM, single molecule imaging & cell biology. 🔬❄️🧪

Our review of Intraflagellar transport is out now! We cover lots of the recent advances in our understanding of IFT, and where we think there are still some gaps. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
