Absolutely ecstatic to share that WE GOT THE COVER!!! 🥹🎉 Seeing this on NCB's cover feels surreal. So much time, science, and teamwork went into this project, and I couldn’t be more excited to see it celebrated like this. A very, very happy day for this really really old and grown embryo 🐭🧫💥

@myosincity.bsky.social and I are looking to hire a new postdoc this winter! Open to anyone broadly interested in studying how cells generate and interpret mechanical signals. Interested applicants can reach out to me and Jordan directly.

So excited to share the preprint with the bulk of my PhD work in the Beach @myosincity.bsky.social and Oakes @pwoakes.bsky.social Labs at Loyola University Chicago! We investigate the structure, recruitment, and function of septin networks around the nucleus. A thread: doi.org/10.64898/202...

Two new 🔥pre-prints 🔥 TODAY by us & @pwoakes.bsky.social @myosincity.bsky.social change the way we think about the septin cytoskeleton Septins buffer mechanical stress on actin and membranes! Septins are like intermediate filaments www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

See this? This = implanting mouse embryo. Usually this happens inside its mother and is invisible to us, but we can actually watch implantation ex vivo with the hope of understanding why implantation goes awry in embryos of older women. A 🧵...

A big shout out to @septinlab.bsky.social for organizing an awesome septin meeting this past week. It was great to catch up in person with so many of the people in this amazing community and meet so many new people working on septins! #SeptSRC

@maggieutgaard.bsky.social from @pwoakes.bsky.social and @myosincity.bsky.social labs with a killer talk on the coupling of the nucleus to septins in response to mechanical stress. #SeptSRC

The feeling when you get back to the lab after a week at a gordon conference - totally inspired and energised after hearing incredible science and meeting amazing people. Thank you @tanentzapflab.bsky.social and @sarawickstrom.bsky.social for GRC Fibronectin, Integrins and related molecules.

It'll be a slightly smaller crew than previous years but we'll still be at #cellbio24 #ASCB! If you like LIM proteins or septins come check out our posters:
