#OnThisDay, 15 Apr 1960, Ella Baker convenes a conference of 126 independent student protest groups. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) forms as a result. SNCC coordinated and assisted direct-action challenges to segregation in the USA.
Baker was a civil rights activist for five decades, and advocated grassroots activism. She also criticised the misogyny she encountered within the movement.

We are excited to release our gene expression heatmap visualization tool. Add genes and identify which organs or cell types the genes are highly or lowly expressed in. Try it out here: https://www.bgee.org/search/expression-matrix

This is Sechi Katō (1893-1989) in 1918. It's her graduation photo from a women's college in Tokyo.
Eventually she would become the first woman principal investigator at RIKEN, Japan's national chemistry & physics institute. She faced incredibly daunting hurdles before then...

Das Schlachtfeld der Somme nahe des Dörfchens La Boiselle, Nordfrankreich. Hier massakrierten sich ab 1916 Soldaten aus der ganzen Welt.
Heute sieht die Landschaft unwirklich friedlich aus und wenig erinnert noch an die vielen Toten und an die geschundene Landschaft.

I’m currently looking for a post-doc in the UK, particularly to work on projects that employ in-vitro reconstitution and quantitative #microscopy approaches to study #cellbiology processes (esspecially #membranetraffic) + would be grateful for sign-posting towards openings! #academicchatter
And thank you @J_Cell_Sci for publishing an interview with me - I enjoyed reflecting on my work + journey in science so far! I’m looking forward to new chapters in my membrane trafficking adventures and hope to continue exploring how cell organelles shape-shift + communicate!
I had lots of fun fishing for vesicles during my PhD and I’m very happy to see the final version of this story out along with a wild cherry tree planted in the Forest of Biologists - a wonderful biodiversity-promoting initiative by @Co_Biologists! This story wouldn’t be here w/out @Moore_cell, Lizzie Courthold, Peyton Ewbank + other colleagues from @roylelab + @Warwick_CMCB who helped us along the way!

I'm looking for a new job doing security assessments / research.
I spent the last 6 years building advanced security assessment capabilities around hardware/IoT, industrial, marine OT, and x86 platforms. Before that I spent 5 years as a pentester. I excel at weird and novel stuff with no template.
I'm in the UK and I'm looking for a remote full-time role.

Please get in touch if you know of any available roles! :)
PhD in Cell Biology
I am a Research Scientist and lab manager for the Tootle lab in the Biology department at the University of Iowa. We use Drosophila oogenesis to understand the mechanisms regulating prostaglandin production and function. My particular interest is the developmental roles of lipid droplets and their connection to prostaglandins.
I love biology and teaching people about what is happening in cells. I also am really interested in microscopy.
I also like cats, horses and horseback riding, fish keeping (I have two aquariums), video games-particularly the Half-Life franchise and Half Life mods, and I have recently gotten into VR (NOT META!) so if you want to chat about any of these topics that would be great!
