On Research Funding and the Power of Youth
Read the full essay on the importance of funding young scientists, written for the President’s Column of the October issue of the ASCB newsletter by Tony Hyman, Ashad Desai, and Peter Walter.
Video: Interview with Tony about phase transitions and disease
Watch a video of Tony explaining phase transitions and disease on the new website "Latest Thinking," which is a video collection of researchers explaining their latest breakthroughs.
Congratulations to Oliver, Jeff, and colleagues on their paper & video abstract in Biology Open, investigating regulation of centrosome assembly
In new work published this month in Biology Open, Oliver Wueseke, David Zwicker, Jeff Woodruff, and colleagues show that PKL-1 phosphorylation of the centrosome scaffold protein SPD-5 is a key regulatory step which determines centrosome size and density.
