Over 400 academics in 30+ countries signed our open letter calling for immediate changes in AI development and deployment practices to ensure that cybersecurity incidents do not continue to occur, as future incidents will be far more damaging to our critical infrastructure.

Yes! Exciting time for the lab with this study finally out. As @mitocollier says, there's something for all in this paper, including links to Parkinson's related proteins. Grateful to #ASAP and #CIHR and for the hard work of our collaborators and reviewers. 🇨🇦🍻

To US friends: 16 year old asked if he will be conscripted. I get the mind numbing reality you find yourselves in. But you have power! Democracy lies in grass root politics - don’t wait for a leader. You taught the world how to rise up for change. You got this! Love, Canada
Happy Wednesday. Felt like a good time to open @Bluesky channel and hopefully see more science with less doomscrolling! Managed the same handle "mitodynamics". I'll try to find you all, but I'm rather a luddite and will need your help!
Congratulations Julien @LabPrudent! Looks like a masterpiece, I look forward to reading and sharing it. I know how much work it is to put these together so thank you to @Tabara_LC and @MayukoSegawa and all involved.
Thrilled to share the last review of the lab led by @Tabara_LC and @MayukoSegawa on the mechanisms regulating mitochondrial morphology!!! @MRC_MBU
Just out in @NatRevMCB. Thanks @lisa_heinke for the smooth editorial process!

A new study into the October 7 attacks is out today, detailing the Israeli intelligence failures. The author, and our regular Monday guest, @SteinJanice joins.
Noon EST on @CanadaTalks167 & podcast platforms.

Interesting: @TheNeuro_MNI researchers & collaborators report iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons form "Lewy body-like inclusions" after exposure to α-synuclein PFFs, but only in combo with IFN-γ or IL-1β treatment or co-culture with activated microglia

Congratulations @BrestoffLab! Encourage all to read this paper. I’m so intrigued at the mechanisms behind this - it’s a wide open field of cell biology and papers like this provide a critical framework to study it. Thank Jon and team for this transformative work.
Very excited to share our latest paper out today

Happy Canada Day! Listening to The Tragically Hip and wondering if Biden could maybe arrest Trump now that Presidents are immune? I’m no expert on the crazy US political world, but from up here it’s looking rather bleak.
Congratulations Julien et al!! It’s a real tour de force with fundamental mechanistic insights into mtDNA control. A must-read!
Delighted to share the last study of the lab led by the fantastic postdoc @Tabara_LC out in @CellCellPress !!!
We show how MTFP1 controls mitochondrial fusion to regulate inner membrane quality control and maintain mtDNA levels.
