@NIH’s new 15% cap on research funds threatens U.S. science. Call Congress now to oppose it! Your voice matters—act today. Find your rep’s number at govtrack.us. #SupportScience #cell biology Learn more: ascb.org/science-policy…

I just finished an exciting week in Italy at the Endoplasmic Reticulum EMBO conference. Beautiful views and excellent science. I love coming back to this conference over the years and interacting with the ER community. I also caught up with old Voeltz lab members!

We had our first lab outing to welcome all the new Hoyer lab members! Welcome @KatieColesa , @KNeherin , and Ahlam Soliman to @VAInstitute and @NeuroVAI . We are also so lucky to have an amazing senior admin assistant Jamie Durst!

Please join us at @VAInstitute on Sept. 23-24th for the annual Grand Challenges in Parkinson's Disease symposium! Poster abstract deadline: Sept. 1st Registration deadline: Sept. 14th vai.org/event/2024-gra…

Deadline is fast approaching for the @EMBO ER meeting this October in Barga, Italy! A great lineup of speakers that include @Eric_Chevet @OlzmannLab @FriedrichForst1 and many more. Don't miss out! Shout out to @Co_Biologists for supporting this meeting 👏 meetings.embo.org/event/24-er

Congrats Sam!

Lysosome damage triggers acute formation of ER to lysosomes membrane tethers mediated by the bridge-like lipid transport protein VPS13C biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_cellbio

We are launching Microtutor on the @GlobalBioImage website NEXT WEEK & Pixel Pete could not be more excited!! 🧠💻🔬 #microtutor

Now out at PNAS - excited to share our work on how ESCRTs protect lysosomes from stress-induced membrane rupture, enhancing lysosomal resilience. Congrats to Wei Chen & team! #Lysosome #UMichBiolChem #CellBiology #researchpaper pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.107…

🚨TWO DAYS LEFT to apply to host our pen pal program in the 2024-25 school year (deadline: May 17)! 🗣️Teachers: apply today to bring real world STEM experiences into your classroom through authentic connections between your students & STEM professionals. prescientist.org/for-teachers/

I am happy to share that I will be starting an assistant professor position at the Van Andel Research Institute @VAInstitute in the Department of Neurodegenerative Science. My lab is opening in July, and I am currently hiring: vai.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/VAICaree… and vai.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/VAICaree…

Congratulations J. Wade Harper of @harvardmed, newly inducted #NASmember! #NAS161 #biochemistry #cellbiology #microbiology

Congratulations Gia Voeltz of @CUBoulder and @HHMINEWS, newly inducted #NASmember! #NAS161 #molecularbiology #cellbiology

I am excited to share my first project in @jwadeharperlab for feedback. We used spatiotemporal proteomics (1) to describe how cells respond to NLRP3 agonists and (2) to profile the proximal proteome as NLRP3 trafficks to the site of inflammasome nucleation harperlab.pubpub.org/pub/nlrp3/

We are very excited to be highlighted by @SMHSci this week in @ScienceMagazine !

I don’t usually post my photography here but this is some pretty cool science from today!

Absolutely stunning proteomics and lipidomic compendium from my colleagues in the Harper lab on 30+ LSD genes. A tour-de-force of ‘omics, genetic engineering, cell biology and a valuable resource for the community. ⁦@sauerkrausi⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
