We love genetics, structure, mechanics, and DNA sequencing for studying cilia. We are very fond of Chlamydomonas for sharing its secrets with us.

I have enjoyed being on Twitter and then X with the science / biology people. It was a great source of exciting papers and new discoveries. But I have sold my Tesla S and I am moving to Bluesky. See you at dutcherlab.bsky.social

Last night Leila Solnica-Krezel gave an incredible talk at the Academic Women’s Network Spring dinner. It went from her upbringing in Poland to her love of zebrafish to her goals as Head of Developmental Biology to her mentoring of great science by her faculty . Brava Leila!

We posted our manuscript on the cilia-dependent and cilia-independent phenotypes of the ccdc39 and ccdc40 variants that cause primary ciliary dyskinesia on BioRxiv. A great collaboration with unexpected findings. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…
