Incredibly proud of the first paper from the Ader Lab, a @micropub7n.bsky.social from a spectacular team of undergrads and a high schooler! In this µpub, our data suggest closely related species employ different strategies for mitotic nuclear envelope remodelling. doi.org/10.17912/mic...

Membranes are the bags that hold cells together. But, sometimes you need to patch a hole in that bag. Megan King (@luskinglab.bsky.social), Patrick Lusk and I, provide perspective on how proteins contribute to supporting organelle compartmentalization www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/...

While organellar compartmentalization is primarily established by the delimiting phospholipid bilayer membranes, the contribution of proteins has been less appreciated. Recently, studies across many r...

Does giving everyone an extra point on a curved final actually affect their grade? Nope. Will I do it again, absolutely! Much needed burst of joy for both of us! 🐈‍⬛

When I do #SciComm training, I say “you’re not dumbing anything down because you’re not talking to dumb people. You’re talking to people who are smart at something different from what you’re smart at.” I find that perspective helps
