IN MEMORIAM
Marta Shahbazi Alonso
Marta iba a Huelva a recoger un premio.
Era hija de un hombre que huyó de Irán escapando de los ayatolás. Ese hombre se hizo una vida en León, y su hija acabó dirigiendo su propio laboratorio en Cambridge, en uno de los centros científicos más prestigiosos del mundo.
Marta estudiaba cómo empieza una persona. Cómo de una sola célula sale un ser humano entero y complejísimo. Su equipo consiguió algo que nadie había hecho antes: mantener vivos embriones humanos 13 días fuera del útero.
Trece días que enseñaron más sobre el principio de la vida que décadas enteras de teorías.
La llamaban una de las científicas españolas más brillantes de su generación. Tenía cuarenta y un años. Qué pena. Y qué rabia. Incomprensible.
Iba en el vagón 8. En ese mismo vagón viajaba Tamara, otra leonesa, otra científica, camino del mismo congreso. También fallecida.
Dos mujeres que dedicaron la vida a entender cómo empieza la vida. Las dos en el mismo tren. Y el mismo destino fatal.
El premio se lo entregaban el jueves. Un reconocimiento por su labor que hoy también le haremos todos nosotros.
Descansa, Marta.
España te recordará.
Yo te recordaré, DEP
Detrás de los 69 fallecidos hay 69 nombres. Con sus vidas, sus ilusiones, su manera de ser. Esta semana contaré quiénes eran algunos de ellos, para que no se queden en una cifra hueca. Para que nadie los olvide.
Had a fantastic time teaching this years LGP students from the ‘Seeing is believing’ light microscopy module and imaging some tardigrades. Thanks to the fantastic environment and facilities at @AshokaUniv and the opportunity provided by @GlobalAshoka and @Lodha

Happy to see an important piece of my work online today @NatureComms from the Bogan lab. We demonstrate TUG regulated trafficking at the ERGIC to maintain homeostasis in the early secretory pathway, and govern autophagy and secretion of Collagens.

Amazing time spent @LodhaGenius @AshokaUniv with the students for the microscopy in life sciences module with some old colleagues and friends @JosephMathewK. Thank you @AmbikaAnupama for the opportunity.
Huge shoutout to @EMBO, for organizing such an inspiring meeting and bringing together an incredible network of talented @EMBOFellows . This experience has been genuinely rewarding!
More than 100 @EMBOFellows are meeting in Heidelberg. The postdoctoral fellows present their research, attend a mentoring session, receive training on a variety of topics and more. #EMBOat60

How do you go leaflet by leaflet and visualise membrane order specifically in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane?
Read along to find out!!
We are very excited to present our lab’s latest preprint, going from the inner leaflet all the way to cell physiology! 🧫🧫🔬🔬

Perhaps you've wondered what Doritos would look like in a CT scan. We did, so here's a clump of Cool Ranch Doritos, scanned through the bag. But there's more...🧵

Super happy to announce that my PhD work intersecting ephys, imaging and machine learning is live as a preprint!!
Researchers from NCBS (@VatsalaT lab) & @iiscbangalore have developed a first-of-its-kind machine learning tool for converting calcium imaging signals to maps of cellular state in bistable neurons!
Link to the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Hello hello there! I am looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral fellow to join me here in lovely Padua, Italy in the Dept. of Biology at the University of Padua @DiBio_UniPD to work with me on stem cell models of mouse embryos. If interested, please PM me! Thanks!
A tour de force in synthetic embryology. Truly mesmerising pieces of work! Was extremely lucky to witness the development and execution of this project over years in the skilful hands of @GianlucaAmadei1 @CEHandford Kasey and collaborations of @MZG_Lab. Congrats all 👏🏽
After building embryoids for 10 years, we succeeded in generating structures with brains, hearts, neural tubes, somites with a yolk sac. Both original submissions using two different approaches are on BioRxiv, to be published soon. eur03.safelinks.protection.o…

How can we improve the robustness and resolution of cell migration and adhesion phenotypes while also capturing its heterogeneity which is often a phenotype!- @PNordenfelt has been helping us think about these questions with this amazing microscopy-based approach.See thread below

All the very best to dear Vishalakshi! One who would remember everything about every student, no matter how big the figure was. I hope this little present keeps you warm with the memories of 36 years of your service here:) @bliscsciart @BLiSC_India @NCBS_Bangalore @Archives_NCBS

So thankful to Shan & Chris to include us in this wonderful project and make us feel at home at @lunduniversity @medfak_LU by talking FAK, paxillin and mechanotransduction while teaching us all about FAK's foe CCM3 as they fight for paxillin's affection.
