Although we are not federally funded for this summer, WE WILL STILL RUN The National Summer Undergraduate Research Project (NSURP) in 2025. We remain committed to the work that needs to be done and will continue to meet people where they are. 1/4 nsurp.org

Time for some mito-business. Or should we say methyl-business?? Let's ask our speaker Thomas MacVicar. This thursday, usual time and place.

The nanodrop said I had no DNA, but I did the cloning anyway and it woooOoOooorked

I’m celebrating tonight with my father in law, Jack Strominger, who is about to enjoy his 100th New Years! He wants to know whether any other scientist has published in their 100th year. He’s proud to have a paper in the works. I told him you all would know! Please RT

I’m honored and thrilled to join the Keystone Fellows Class of 2025! No better way to kick start the new year in the new lab I get to call my own 🤩 #KSfellows https:// keypoint.keystonesymposia.org/home/keypoint-newsletter-introducing-the-new-fellows-class-of-2025

🧪 Join us for a lesson in how to look at your spectra from Sue Weintraub! Using examples from her research, Sue will highlight the importance of looking at mass spectra and teach you how to get started. You won't want to miss it! Register now: ow.ly/P8fw50UrX6m

The Mendoza lab is hiring a Research Assistant at the University of Colorado Boulder!! Come join our brand new lab as we launch our group! We study zinc homeostasis using a variety of techniques in C. elegans and human models. The view in Boulder ain't bad either! Reach out with questions!

Doing 3D-EM in the Lab. can someone please tell me what these structures are? We are imaging the deep cerebellar nuclei here. Please share, I would really like to know.

📣Thursday 1700 CET / 1100 ET Link at www.mitotalks.org

T - 23 days !! @uofpenn.bsky.social

As you're planning out your ASCB schedule be sure to attend the organelle-focused special interest group hosted by @nieminm.bsky.social and myself Mon. 12/16 at 5pm Come hear a fantastic lineup of speakers including @walterwchen.bsky.social @themitotracker.bsky.social @lianjiejerrywei.bsky.social

Mark your calendars: Still finalizing details but I’m putting together an “EVERYBODY’S IN SAN DIEGO!” pre-ASCB workshop at UC San Diego on Friday December 13th from ~10-5:30. This workshop will highlight leaders in cryoEM/ET, mass spec, and light microscopy and AI. Registration link to follow soon.

2025!!

I had a fun conversation with @dev-journal.bsky.social about my scientific trajectory 🧪, my thoughts on the academic job market, @leadingedgeprogram.bsky.social, and the joys and challenges of #newpi life. Thanks to Saanjbati for the interview! journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Don't forget about the US HUPO family and child care awards, for those needing extra support to attend the conference next year. Additionally, there are also travel awards specifically for undergraduates available too! ushupo.org/travelawards/

The Leading Edge Fellows starter pack is now up to 101 Leading Edge Fellows! If you haven't checked it out recently, there are lots of fabulous new postdocs and new PIs to follow!

Great to see mito911 on Bluesky!

Our opinion piece is out! My first published postdoc work with Lena Pernas. 🎉 Here, we speculate whether mitochondria can autonomously sense and elicit a response to microbes. 🤔🦠 #mitochondria #microbes dlvr.it/TGLcRm

Question for fellow #mitochondriacs on #MitoBsky - what are your preferred/favorite/best methods to isolate mitochondria from mouse tissues? shearing + UC? nitrogen cavitation + UC? antibodies (anti-Tom22?)? Miltenyi + antibody? other combinations? bonus if the tissue is brain 🙃 #mitochondria

Our institute is hiring for a new faculty to join my department at any level! Incredible research support, a great community, a chance to build something while still being at a place already producing top tier research. We start reviewing apps in 2 weeks! vai.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/VAICar...

The pleasure is all ours - thank YOU for sharing your work with us and the rest of the #mitochondriacs @mitotalks.bsky.social 💪

We have arrived. #mitochondria #MITOtalks #MITOchats

What a great way to end the week :) Visited my daughter’s classroom as a “mystery reader” and brought “mass spec mommy” to read 💪 kids loved it! thank you @massspecmommy.bsky.social
