Richard, with the increasing migration of science Twitter to sites like Mastodon, what are the prospects for adding a Mastodon sharing option, and more importantly, adding Mastodon to Altmetric article metrics in bioRxiv and medrXiv? For obvious reasons, supporting science dissemination by sustainable, non-commercial social media sources seems more important than ever.

"...in the large plenary meetings, where all parties come together, Indigenous representatives can speak out and share their point of view. But when negotiations break into smaller groups for detailed discussions..."
"We can only participate at the discretion of the co-lead"...in other words, they need permission to enter the room and sit at the table."
Colonizers just keep colonizing! 🤬

Fun end-of-semester discussion in Introductory Biology:
Forbidden phenotypes!😱 Why don't these phenotypes exist? What would happen if they did? Refer to info you learned in this course as well as any relevant info from chemistry, physics, physiology, anatomy, conservation, etc.

Very excited to share the latest work from our lab, led by great postdoc @AntoineVian. We developed a new technique to measure osmotic pressure directly in vivo and in situ, within living tissues. Check out the 🧵 below or the preprint in the link here ➡️https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.04.519060v1

Move to #Mastodon is going well, but raises an important question: how and when do I get rid of #Twitter altogether?!?
Whats a reasonable timeline and strategy?!? 6 month? When 50% of my contacts moved? Opinions???

Expansion microscopy is one of the best things to come along in #cellbiology. A new preprint from Ons M’Saad in the Bewersdorf lab at Yale describes methods for ~8000-fold volumetric expansion and labeling that deals with the dilution problem associated with such huge expansion. Cell-level details can be observed with a cell phone camera!
BEHOLD
I have survived another year despite the machinations of my haters, which can mean only one thing:
It's time to BATTLE SOME JAMS
Welcome to the Third Annual
"24 Days Until December 25th"
Ranking of the Entrants in the Bonne Maman Non-denominational Calendar of Jams!
Not nearly enough #protists and #cilia in this universe yet... let's rectify this with an inaugural edition of #CiliaSaturday 😍
Look at all its beautiful 'feet'... !
Can't wait to be in Washington next week for #CellBio2022. Hit me up if you want to meet! (OK the song would be better for SfN, but it is good and I don't know any DC cell biology-themed band) https://youtu.be/HKGovH4Ge2M
Super excited to see my FIRST research paper published: https://elifesciences.org/articles/79647 🎉 about priority effects in nectar microbes 🌼🦠 . This epic story represents 10 years of work in our lab, much was led/facilitated by Stanford
undergrads and staff 🙏🏼. 🧵

I thought this paper by Pacheco et al. was interesting, showing how mobile PI(4,5)P2 is on the plasma membrane. Surprisingly PIP2 is highly mobile even when engaged with e.g. clathrin machinery. Nice use of SPT/TrackMate and reporters to examine lipid distribution in the membrane.
Note: I'll try to boost interesting #cellbiology papers occasionally. Join me! Maybe we can use the #paperotd paper of the day hashtag of yesteryear.
