New research led by Carolyn Ott, a senior scientist @JLS_Lab, provides the most detailed & comprehensive description yet of cilia in the mouse visual cortex, giving scientists new insights into the formation & function of this small & elusive organelle. 🔗

It was so crucial when I was a new PI to know that I could trust my colleagues to fairly (if critically at times) review my work with the goal of making it better, not out of competition or to play games. I look forward to carrying on the tradition of looking after our jr folks.

Another giant thank you to the greater cilia/centrosome biology community! It’s been such a welcoming and supportive scientific community going back to when I was a trainee 15+ years ago.

My New Year’s resolution is to spend more time at the bench and in the mouse room, and less time in my office. Hopefully without making a giant mess!.

In vivo BioID targeting neuronal cilia started out as a fanciful idea shortly after starting my lab. I'm so glad there were these talented people around who actually made it work!.

This was the work of @LoukilLab when he was a postdoc in my lab, former technician Emma Ebright, and our collaborators in @SoderlingLab.

This thread is spot on. What is worse is that some institutions made repeated assurances that no really, they understood what we were dealing with and it would *definitely* not be forgotten when it was time for tenure and promotion. I hoped, rather than believed, it was true 😔.

This isn't a new thought, but I'm wondering today how much of the pervasive sense of burnout or disengagement among life science professors today is a sense of soft institutional betrayal for the last three years. That our institutions do not share our morals.

New preprint from my lab where we present unexpected findings that human ataxia-associated variants of TTBK2 mis-localize to peroxisomes! There they interfere with peroxisome-mediated trafficking of membrane proteins to cilia.

I'm curious- for those faculty involved with biomedical PhD grad admissions: are you doing in person interviews or virtual? If virtual, does your program plan to do this indefinitely, or just for now? Please also comment if you do a second round that is in person for admits.

We are hiring! The Goetz lab has an immediate opening for a research technician. We'd love someone who can start soon, but we'd be happy to accommodate a December grad. Contact me with questions or apply here:
