This month on the Node- January 2014
Posted by the Node, on 3 February 2014
January was a busy month on the Node, particularly our jobs page, which included several new postdoctoral positions, as well as PhD studentships, group leader and technician positions.
Here are some of the other highlights:
Research:
– Yan Yun wrote about his recent Development paper examining the origins of aneuploidy by tracking chromosomes and their kinetochores in oocytes from young and aged mice.
– Oguz discussed the development of Raeppli, a new technique that allows whole tissue labelling in Drosophila.
– and Christele’s stem cell image choice this month is from a Cell Reports paper showing that the junctional adhesion molecule JAM-A is essential for the survival and growth of the cancer stem cells found in glioblastoma.
Science life:
– Erin kicked off our model organism series in 2014 with her post ‘A day in the life of a Parhyale lab’– make sure to read it to learn all about using beach hoppers in developmental biology.
– Máté discusses the experience of returning to his home country Hungary to establish his own lab after a PhD and postdoc abroad.
– And Sonia, a postdoc at the National Centre for Biological Sciences in India, wrote about her recent collaborative visit to a lab in California.
Also on the Node:
– If you are keen in writing on the Node but have never blogged before, we collated a list of handy tips to get you started.
– We had a look at our stats to find the top posts of 2013.
– And there is less than a month left to participate in our outreach competition!
Happy reading!
