For the 5th+ time in 2 weeks, my lab lost power. After losing a fortune to the great -80 disaster of 2024, I genuinely did not think “reliable electricity” would be on my list of things to worry about in 2026 And yet Anyone recruiting Associate Professors? My bar is literally reliable electricity

NEW PREPRINT ALERT (shameless plug: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...) We’ve all been there: Sitting in a cell biology talk when suddenly— cytoskeleton fireworks EB1-GFP comets streaking across the screen. Tiny glowing microtubules everywhere. Absolute cinema.

Think it must be wonderful to be a college professor and have the summer off? Not so fast, some professors told me #academicsky #highered www.chronicle.com/article/summ...

Summers Off? Hardly. Academics Enter the Season of Ambient Pressure.

Twelve months a year, they’re under pressure to deliver.

Tomorrow.. This might be the greatest talk I have ever made. The puns and references are a tribute. I hope it helps and inspires the students. and... being a scientist has a lot of parallels with being a showgirl, I think... after ruminating on this for a few months.

Seminar 4/28: TLOAS* The Fate of Diaphanous Scientist, not showgirl but the data suggest those categories overlap Cytoskeletal dynamics meets @taylorswifthd.bsky.social's Life of a Showgirl There is a flyer Possibly my finest work since teaching med students the cytoskeleton via the Eras Tour

today I was in a meeting with the important dean and I made a fantastic analogy about how studying actin and microtubules was like looking into the eye of sauron... all seeing... hard to grasp. lol 🤣

do I know anyone looking for a job to run a TIRF microscope facility for cytoskeleton lovers? This is a NYS funded position. apply here and share the word: nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Tomorrow the Henty-Ridilla lab is at SUNY Research Expo to talk basic science to our state legislators! We have legos! Looking forward to seeing some SRLA Alan Alda 2026 colleagues there, too!

Some of you may remember that our department does “informal” faculty talks once a year… and that I usually take that as permission to do something fun and creative. 1/3

sometimes I think about how happy the moon is singing in "your song" in the film Moulin Rouge. It is pure joy (last 20 s of the clip, for the uninitiated). Sorry if you haven't thought about this film in ~25 years. Hopefully this reminder makes you smile. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TWh...

I love this calculator. I understand that this specific version ages me. I don't care. It does exactly what I need it to do. It might also be my first experience with solar technology.

a lot happened today, but most importantly i got into a huge debate about whether the LoTR trilogy was the greatest series of all time. this is a hill i will die on with many quotes as i expire. it is how i got the college roommate i did. challenge at your own risk. lol.
