Attention all microscopists!
Do you know a talented undergraduate student who would like to undertake a paid summer internship in your cell biology lab?
Applications to our summer studentships are OPEN
Deadline 31st March

Very excited to be co-organising this next year! Save the date
We are very proud that Thalia has been nominated for three Yorkshire Choice awards - Please vote here: www.yorkshirechoiceawards.co.uk/vote
Three years ago, Thalia was diagnosed with a devastating brain tumour. She has fought back and done her best to raise awareness and funds to support others!
Ooh very interesting work reconstituting cortical excitability by altering membrane composition
Come and work with us! We're looking for a talented postdoc with interests in developmental biology, cancer and the primary cilia to join us @mortlab.bsky.social. An exciting MRC funded collaboration with Pleasantine Mill - @cilialab.bsky.social. Further details:

That's amazing, thank you for finding these
She was publishing from the early 60s until 1980. This was her last affiliation
Yes that would be amazing thank you!
So ICRF Mill Hill rather than NIMR
These are her affiliations from a slightly later 1967 paper. Mill Hill and The London Research Hospital mentioned
Yes this is the one
Having gone down a rabbit hole trying to find biographical information about Jennifer Harvey who isolated the HRAS oncogene, I've been looking at her papers.
Now I want to know about Mrs Schendler!
Yes let's do it! Kirsten has his own page of course.
Ooh thanks for the suggestion
paging @jennyrohn.bsky.social as I know she knows about cancer virology
Plenty on Prof. Dr. Werner Kirsten who discovered KRAS though:
link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Anyone know anything about Jennifer Harvey, who first isolated the virus containing HRAS (Harvey-Ras) at Mill Hill in 1967?
Prepping a lecture including the discovery of Ras oncogenes and wanted to add pics of the scientists involved.
The Internet has NOTHING

And apparently the postdoc medal was envisioned by another alumnus @gautamdey.bsky.social when he was the @bscb-official.bsky.social postdoc rep.
Huge congrats Giulia! my fellow @lmcb-ucl.bsky.social @buzzbaum.bsky.social @yanlanmao.bsky.social lab member. Very well deserved :)
Two weeks left to apply to be the BSCB Postdoc rep
Proud to have been awarded LEAF Silver (again) - with @helenkmatthews.bsky.social lab!!

Last chance to apply for a PhD Position in our lab on #keratins in #celldivision
Applications close on 7/1/26
Excited to be a speaker at Dynamic Cell VI. Always a great meeting
How does Ras signalling affect actin?
Some answers in a new review from Joe Tyler & I @mcb-sheffield.bsky.social
authors.elsevier.com/a/1m8v-3PA3s...
We discuss how Ras proteins coordinate local and global changes to the actin cytoskeleton and contribute to cytoskeletal plasticity in cancer.
How does signalling control cortical tension?
Using optogenetics and AFM, we show that myosin recruitment and cortical tension increase proportionally with RhoA signalling.
