PI at NIH. Nuclear envelope dynamics & regulation of nuclear morphology. And the centriculum! The awesome power of yeast & worm genetics & cool imaging. Empowering women to be bold. I like it here.

How patriotic are Republican Senators? How brave? How much do they really care about the health and the security of Americans? We will soon find out

Maybe the new Department of Government Efficiency can eliminate the head of HHS position? May not save money but it will definitely save lives.

life is all about how many times in a day you need to spend about ten bucks. i would argue this is the most valuable "about ten bucks" you will encounter

I’m seeing lots of job postings on here so now might be a good time to mention that we recently added a ‘Cell biology jobs’ board to our community site over at FocalPlane. It’s free to post (and obviously free to browse): focalplane.biologists.com/cell-biology... #cellbiology

Thanks! In our case, we don't know whether the centriculum nucleates microtubules. Our data suggest that it blocks a fraction of centrosome-nucleated microtubules from extending further into the cytoplasm. It basically acts like a sieve.

Microtubule enthusiasts: we are finding that the centriculum (DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.12.059), a membrane reticulum that surrounds centrosome in C. elegans embryos, serves as a microtubule filter. Does anyone know of other examples where a membranous structure affects microtubule properties?

Apply to as many places as you want. If you want to be kind to your letter writers and you’re not using interfolio, set up a shared Google doc so they can see where you applied and can track which letters they’ve sent. Not every place requires letters initially, but it’s still helpful.

Do women in academia suffer from Imposter Syndrome more than men, or are women just more willing to admit that they feel this way?

This is a terrific chart, but it's not in the linked review... Do you happen to have the source? I'd love to use it in lectures, if that's OK.

Infrared thermometer, but since it’s less than $100 let’s say two infrared thermometers. Great for media preparation and handy during a pandemic.
