🧬 Can mitotic arrest duration predict cell fate?
Our new preprint shows that prolonged metaphase arrest strongly reduces proliferative capacity after telomere dysfunction.
⏱️ A cellular timer for fate?

Great news for @TheCrick and so happy to welcome an absolute role model for female scientists (and not only)!!
We are delighted to announce that Professor Edith Heard has been appointed as our new director and chief executive!
Edith, who is currently director-general at @EMBL, will succeed Paul Nurse in leading the Crick from the summer of 2025.

ALT "The Francis Crick Institute has quickly established a global reputation for its work at the frontiers of science. I relish the challenge of building on that work. I also want to pay tribute to Sir Paul Nurse, without whom the Francis Crick Institute would not be the world-leading institution it is today." - Edith Heard

This is a great course for PhD students to learn soft skills, build their network and meet diverse group of tutors.
Welcome to @EMBO! Today in our YIN PhD course we will have career talks, a round table discussion on academia, courses on "effective scientific presentations & elevator pitch" and "interpersonal communication," closing off with a dinner and a roast your poster session – Enjoy!
