Proud to share what we hope will be a reference study on human oocyte proteostasis. Young-donor eggs show globally reduced organelle activity vs. somatic cells, with an even steeper drop as they mature. 👇 for @zaffagg3 's detailed explanation https://t.co/NQ1krrsRYb

📣 Paper alert!! Excited to share the 2nd research paper from my time in the @LabBoke at @CRGenomica, out today in the @embojournal! We asked: "how do human oocytes regulate proteostatic organelles under physiological conditions?" We collaborated with @DexeusMujer and employed

🚨JOB ALERT🚨 PLEASE SPREAD and RT We are building a small expert team within the @LabBoke at @CRGenomica @the_prbb to investigate fundamental questions in oocyte cell biology, focusing on how proteostasis regulation influences dormancy and fertility. See below 2 calls👇

We’re so happy that our review on “Proteostasis in cellular dormancy” was chosen for the cover of the August issue of @TrendsBiochem in the old-school way; we were invited! Many thanks to our editor, Sannie Culbertson, and the reviewers for a great experience - EB
📢 Our August issue is online! 🎨 The cover highlights a Feature Review from Stephanie Rosswag de Souza, @LabBoke and @zaffagg3 on how proteostasis functions in cellular dormancy across a number of examples, from yeast to adult quiescent stem cells and vertebrate oocytes.

A bittersweet and slightly late! post: we celebrated @AidaRoNu as she heads off to start her own lab in the Department of Physiological Sciences at the University of Barcelona! 🥂 From postdoc to PI, we’re so proud and can’t wait to see all she accomplishes! Go shine, Aida! 🌟🥂

“Finally, maybe this is controversial but ultimately progress in science is bottlenecked by real-world experiments.” If this is controversial in SF, we’re cooked.
We don’t have AI self-improves yet, and when we do it will be a game-changer. With more wisdom now compared to the GPT-4 days, it's obvious that it will not be a “fast takeoff”, but rather extremely gradual across many years, probably a decade. The first thing to know is that
