Proud of my lab😍
Congratulations Arthur, Lucie, @MiriamStoeber

In 2018, three colleagues and I published a front-cover paper in @PNASNews

It has > 170 citations as of 2022, and it was a success that might not have happened:

• We had $0 budget
• We had no PI (Principal Investigator)
• We had no credentials

[Here's how we did it] 🧵

BREAKING NEWS:
The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

I paid for my ug to take the GRE. He was living out of his car.

My PI found out. She reimbursed me. She promised him full part time wage every week as long as he did *something.* She paid for his grad school apps. He’s a world-class PhD student now.

It’s not hard to be decent.

Undergrads! Come work with us at @UcChem next summer as part of our REU program! The application to apply is due in March 2021! We'd love to have you in our labs!

Harvard University says it can't afford journal publishers' prices theguardian.com/science/2012/a…

I work in academia and use sci-hub:

Writing is hard. Writing concisely is especially hard yet it’s a crucial skill for scientists to develop.

This past winter, I wrote a paper to help: “Simple rules for concise scientific writing”

It’s now out and #OpenAccess: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

A new microscope technique shows cells’ fine structure in new detail. The method, developed by Eric Betzig, Harald Hess + colleagues, combines 3D super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy in whole cells. Published today in Science!

So cool!

We are pleased to announce our new JCB Early Career Advisory Board, created as part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that the journal is representative and responsive to the needs of the entire cell biology community bit.ly/33Q8hN7
