Remember that paper about wnt not really being a morphogen I highlighted back in January? Here is a paper about wnt being transported by migrating neural crest cells:

It is one of the papers which make me wish (again!) we had a Dev Bio journal club...

A cautionary tale than not all genes are essential in humans:

This is probably only a surprise to human geneticists who do not bother with model systems literature...

It is nice to read about a successful post-science career transition:
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/344/6186/934.full
But we do not get to read about those who don’t make the transition quite as successfully, so the sample is biased.

About a $30-million-a-year scam business:

    Weekly sciencey bits

    Disclaimer: This started as a "weekend reading list" meant to encourage students in the lab to think about science and their own future in it. Do not take it seriously: I myself may no longer agree with whatever I wrote here last week.
