Happy to announce that the final version of our paper on #endothelial cell #migration #mechanobiology, #angiogenesis, #hydrostaticpressure is out on @elife.bsky.social doi.org/10.7554/eLif... !! In our revised paper, we show that disrupted osmotic gradient and water inflow impair tip cell migration!

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

We have a postdoc position available in the lab! Come and work on lymphatic vascular development and regeneration. We use zebrafish, mouse, cells, tumour models and love imaging, genetics and genomics🔬 Come join us in Melbourne! www.seek.com.au/job/82157187...

Team led by Ludwig Lausanne's Matteo Massara & @johannajoyce.bsky.social finds that gut bacteria of genus Alistipes promote metastasis in a breast-to-brain model of metastasis and identifies a bacterially regulated metabolite the disrupts cancer-blood vessel interactions in the brain. bit.ly/4aIhiL8

Great opportunity to postdoc in cell biology in Australia 👇👇

🚨Postdoc vacancy alert! Interested to work on apoptosis/inflammation? Have some experience in biosensor-imaging and quantitative analysis of dynamic systems? 2 positions available for 2 years with potential of extension Apply now! 👉 uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/uqcareers/jo...

Very happy to share our work on lymphatic endothelial cell specification, which was published in Nature Cardiovascular Research this week.

Where have I heard this before? 🤔 “Let’s cancel grant review panels as they don’t facilitate accountable peer review or education of the next generation” - Ah Yes! that’s the SHAMBOLIC MESS we have where submitting a grant is like buying a lottery ticket! If Trump says it’s a good idea it must be 🤦🏽

“The PhD stipend is $33,511 … well below minimum wage of $47,627” “Universities can raise the stipend to a maximum of $52,352, but a ACGR survey found none have done so. The highest stipend is just over $40,000 … with the average at $34,244.” #RaiseTheStipend

It’s beyond time for the Australian PhD stipend to be raised. Our PhD students are the engine room in science and biomedical research…. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is the new official account of the European Vascular Biology Organisation. We are looking forward to connect to the #VascularBiology community! Follow us for bi-weekly seminars and scientific initiatives in support of the vascular biology community.

If your #NHMRC ideas grant was unsuccessful and you have a story to share about the impact of this on your #biomedicalresearch, career, team - get in touch. Federal DOH have asked #NARF to collect stories of impact of low funding. #SaveOzScience #DiscoveriesNeedDollars #EMCRs

On the topic of funding absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, they funded scientists: - watching flies fuck - giving rats massages - spending years on why jellyfish glow - tracking penguin poop from space - using horseshoe crab blood
