Some papers are much bigger struggles than others. It's difficult to maintain enthusiasm, but it is important not to give up. Take the advice given to you by reviewers/editors. Make changes. Improve the work. Stay strong. Get. It. Published. 💪
You asked for it, and it’s coming. Quote posts, search, and groups are on their way. In the meantime, check out the new onboarding experience launching today. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/05/a-new-onboarding-experience-on-mastodon/
A new onboarding experience on Mastodon

Today we’re making signing up on Mastodon easier than ever before. We understand that deciding which Mastodon service provider to kick off your experience with can be confusing. We know this is a completely new concept for many people, since traditionally the platform and the service provider are one and the same. This choice is what makes Mastodon different from existing social networks, but it also presents a unique onboarding challenge. To make this step easier, we now have a default sign-up option that works with a server we operate. If you wish to leave or join a different server, you can do so at any time.

A visual opsin from jellyfish enables precise temporal control of G protein signalling - Nature Communications

Jellyfish see light in a similar way that vertebrates smell odours. Here, Michiel van Wyk and Sonja Kleinlogel show how jellyfish has adapted this slow signal detection pathway to support sophisticated vision, and use a similar method to restore vision in blind mice.

Like comparing apples to apples, comparing similar #proteins can be challenging. #Scientists at #StJude developed a tool to help, which garnered new insights into the #ChaperoneProtein #HSP90—an essential target in #cancer. Read about their work. https://bit.ly/3LMhQVf #StJudeResearch #StructuralBiology #ChemicalBiology #DrugDiscovery
It’s the little things that count – so let’s count the little things

St. Jude scientists in the Fischer lab have published Flexr a tool for studying protein conformations, making new discoveries about HSP90. Read the blog post.

I really enjoyed the EMBO Workshop on Hedgehog Signaling in Spain! It's been too long (7 years!) since the Hh crowd was together. Lots of good data discussion, great posters, and a fun closing night party. 🦔
Two #genes can fuse, creating an #OncogenicFusion that drives #cancer. #StJude #scientists characterized these fusions in #PediatricCancer. Learn how it improved #disease predictions and may lead to #CRISPRbased treatments. http://bit.ly/3KzATS1 #CRISPR #CRISPRcas9 #CompBio #StJudeResearch
St. Jude tool targets cancer-causing fusions’ weak spot

Learn how St. Jude research cataloguing the oncogenic fusions in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) could lead to cures using genome editing (CRISPR-Cas9).

Most of us who publish papers and submit grants will agree the review process can be tough. Confession: Whenever we receive an encouraging/positive review, I print a hard copy for a folder labeled 'Read When You Need Cheering Up!' Past kind words can ease current review blues.🌿

Today, I have built a desk and set up a writing office. Admittedly, it is in the garden shed, but I am happy to have somewhere that's for my writing.

The dog is not sure about it yet.

Today I learned from @0xabad1dea that a lot of large solar farm owners use sheep herds to maintain their grass and they're called solarpunk grazers and life seems a little better. 🤘

Are you interested in hearing the latest topics in Hedgehog Signaling Research? The EMBO Workshop on Hedgehog Signaling has extended the abstract submission deadline to January 31st. I'll be there speaking about #cytoneme visualization 🦔 🔬

Hedgehog signalling: From molecular structure to developmental biology and diseases

The Hedgehog morphogen pathway is a key signalling pathway in development and stem cell regulation. Hedgehog deregulation leads to developmental and neurological diseases and is a crucial driver of s…
