Iron oxide in mud bricks records the intensity of Earth’s magnetic field at the time the bricks were fired. Mesopotamian bricks inscribed with kings’ names confirm the timing of the Levantine Iron Age geomagnetic anomaly, from 1050–550 BCE. In PNAS: ow.ly/RVn250QkNBJ

I encourage anyone working on projects using digital methods to submit to the Digital Archaeology and History session, which I’m co-chairing with Dr. Tiffany Earley-Spadoni and Dr. Leigh Anne Lieberman (she)! We especially encourage submissions from scholars based abroad (can present virtually)

Congrats to MCB's Dipti Nayak Nayak Lab and Meng-meng Fu Meng-meng Fu on being named Sloan Foundation research fellows! 👏🎉

So proud of this beautiful new work from Dan Dou, and so grateful to Virginia Lee for inspiring this study!

We’re hiring! We’re looking for a Reviews Editor to work across our journals (Development, J Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology, DMM Journal). If you’ve got excellent communication skills and a broad interest in science, this is a job for you! Location: Cambridge UK biologists.com/about-us/work-…

Excited to share our work dissecting how an interphase actin wave fragments mitochondria and towards what end! With Andy Moore , Cameron Thompson, Christian Tirrito, Mike Ostap, and my advisor Erika Holzbaur-Howland nature.com/articles/s4146…

.Dan Tudorica, Hurley Lab et al. Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s find that RAB7A phosphorylation in PINK1/Parkin #mitophagy displaces the #autophagy inhibitor Rubicon, whilst recruiting the structurally related positive regulator Pacer. hubs.la/Q02wPH680 Bishal Basak Erika Holzbaur-Howland

Thank you to JCS for this wonderful recognition. And we are still so happy about our tree! If you don’t know about their fantastic tree initiative, check out the JCS website.
