- Reposted by Neta FelsenthalI’ve already highlighted this landmark #lipidtime paper by @nadlerlab.bsky.social & colleagues, but ICYMI, do read André’s thread — this study is a huge leap forward in understanding the logic of intracellular lipid flux & is a phenomenal example of #chembio probes 🤝 quantitative imaging 🤝 modeling!
- Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by Neta FelsenthalOf the hundreds of millions of people living with IBS worldwide, about two-thirds are women. Now, researchers have identified a biological pathway in the guts of mice that may help explain this disproportionate toll—a finding that could one day lead to new treatments. scim.ag/3YD8H78
- Reposted by Neta FelsenthalNot that long ago, in vivo mouse enhancer design was a dream. Today, it's a reality! Using transfer deep learning to design de novo synthetic embryonic enhancers active in the heart, limb, and CNS. Great collab with @alex-stark.bsky.social lab! @ucibiosci.bsky.social @impvienna.bsky.social

- Reposted by Neta FelsenthalAmazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.
- Reposted by Neta FelsenthalI ignored the strip.clip argument in #ggplot2 for way too long 😲 Combined with a small negative margin tweak, you can place facet labels inside each panel. A tiny trick that makes small multiples feel so much cleaner. 🔵 no manual coordinates 🔵 inherits theme styling 🔵 scales nicely when resizing
- Reposted by Neta FelsenthalHave you heard about the Night Science Podcast, where we talk about the creative process of doing science? We explore this with discussions with brilliant scientists & philosophers and artists, to figure out the tricks of the creative scientific trade. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...
- Reposted by Neta FelsenthalA deep dive into the backstory of @dev-journal.bsky.social and why it changed its name (spoiler - it's not *just* because Journal of Embryology and Experimental Morphology was such a mouthful!).

- I'm a longtime fan of Affinity Designer as an affordable Illustrator-killer for figures, and... it's now free?! www.canva.com/newsroom/new... Highly recommended if you're sick of paying Adobe $. Maybe Canva can buy NPG too and get rid of the OA fees.

- Reposted by Neta FelsenthalImportant story dissecting the mechanism of gut cell extrusion using organoids. Local heterogeneity of tension promotes live extrusion and basal relaxation is sufficient to kick the cell out. Nice combination of optogenetics and live imaging to demonstrate this www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...
