Dear science journalists, please apply to be Quanta Magazine's managing editor or pass this along to qualified candidates: simonsfoundation.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/simonsfo…

Fascinating work from J.P. Vincent Lab @jpvincentlab.bsky.social A role for hypoxia in decelerating tissue growth during development Developing wing discs become increasingly hypoxic in normoxic conditions, which induces HIF1a that inhibits TOR signalling & reduces tissue growth biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Hi everyone! I’m hiring for a super cool role! I’m looking for someone to manage the partnership between California Academy of Sciences iNaturalist & California Department of Fish and Wildlife develop processes to share community collected data w/ the State for conservation decision making! us241.dayforcehcm.com/CandidatePorta…

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but they also function as cellular walkie-talkies, sending messages throughout the body. When mitochondria stop communicating, the biological clock starts winding down. Viviane Callier 柯蔚文 reports: nautil.us/cells-across-t…


Great article by Viviane Callier 柯蔚文 in Knowable Magazine on various ways histones directly regulate metabolism. I think we should start thinking about chromatin, not just histones, as a “metabolic organelle”. This view could reshape our understanding of histone/DNA modifications and mutations.

Scientists have long known that histones spool DNA and help regulate genes. They may be doing a lot more. new story with cool work from Ben Tu @PSarkies Siavash Kurdistani Tobias Warnecke Marcus Buschbeck and Lab (now includes all twitter handles! Thanks all!) shorturl.at/OO8Em

Thanks to Viviane Callier 柯蔚文 for this nice write up covering our discovery of the cephalopod Z chromosome scientificamerican.com/article/the-ea…

A mind-bogglingly old sex chromosome, in octopus! cool research from Andrew Kern lab, with great context and comments from @evolscientist @sexchrlab Jessica Abbott 🙏

I'm back to posting on this platform to share some exciting news - Harvard Organismic & Evolutionary Biology is launching not one, not two, but three faculty searches. Help spread the word!

Histones, the protein spools around which our DNA is wrapped, may be doing a lot more in cells than packaging and regulating genes, writes Viviane Callier 柯蔚文: buff.ly/3NrIfrv (Isn’t biochemistry jawdroppingly fascinating?)
