We thought there wasn't much new to learn about the cell cycle. Turns out we were wrong! Our paper (out today @Nature) identifies a novel alternative cell cycle that regulates differentiation, not cell division. tinyurl.com/4a6yeuke. 1/10

Congrats! This is why we need to keep funding basic science. Translational value of discovery is cached often with revolutionary applications down the road (eg giant squid axon, GFP, LEDs)

Do you have an @NIH grant app waiting to be reviewed in Oct? A long govt shutdown could cancel study sections and require you to resubmit in Jan. with review in June. Call your Representative and tell them what a shutdown would mean to your lab. ow.ly/IaxT50PP9pw

New preprint: Suguru Takagi (@d_takagii) and Tom Auer (@tomtom_auer) - with many great collaborators - solve a simple (but actually hard) problem: how does having more sensory neurons for a given odour help an animal? The answer was unexpected ... 👇

Many people take "non-traditional" career paths in academia. @Brixius_Simone, @mm5200, @MoeNeuro and I did! We wrote for @PLOSBiology about how non-linear careers are increasingly common, but funding agencies and search committees penalize these paths.
