So far so good, day 1 and 2 were full of great science. Day 3 starting strong with intermediate filaments structure ! #CytoskeletonForum We are also blessed by an amazing weather this week in paris !

Here is to small but satisfying things. For me, in the kitchen, it's choosing the container that is just *right* for the amount of leftovers, not too small so I have to fight to close it, not too large that the food moves around. That feel like a small and satisfying victory.

Incredible resonance of this speech about tyranny, still relevant 400 years later

Omg. WTF is Happening?@lalahaenzy.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Legends!

The Reck-Peterson lab at Weill Cornell Medicine is seeking a technician or staff scientist to work on Aspergillus projects. Broad background in fungal biology and techniques required. Bioinformatics skills preferred. Find out more at: reckpetersonlab.org.

This year #ASCB #cellbio2025 was not the same and plagued with organizational problems. Yet it was, as always, a great meeting! I had an awesome time reuniting with people and discovering new science. See you all next year !

Thank you for coming to our session yesterday! We had a blast and we hope you enjoyed the talks! Big thanks to our speakers for showcasing what physical based thinking can bring to biological problems at all scales! See you all next year 😉

If you're at #cellbio2025, @atmolines.bsky.social Hernan Garcia and I invite you to attend our Minisymposium “Physical Cell Biology from Molecules to Organisms” for incredible talks on epigenetic mechanical memory, viscoelasticity, cortical flows, morphogenesis, tissue wetting, size scaling, et al!

My former bench mate @joellemiere.bsky.social from the @fredchanglab.bsky.social giving a killer talk about nuclear size regulation in fission yeast at #ASCB #CellBio2025 Stay tuned for the paper to come soon ! Beautiful experimental data falling on the mathematical model, no fit needed 🤩

Are you interested in cytoskeleton and looking for a postdoc position? I will be advertising positions in the new year but happy to chat in person if you are attending ASCB @ascbiology.bsky.social in Philadelphia. Just drop me a line.

Congrats to all involved! I have seen the story develop during my time in the Chang lab, and it is a real pleasure to see it out. Looking forward to reading it! Anyone interested in microtubule mechanics, spindle, mitosis, etc, you should check it out 😉

Joël Lemière@joellemiere.bsky.social · 8mo ago

We have a new preprint! 👉 We’ve developed a novel method to induce spindle buckling and utilize this deformation to gain insights into their structural integrity. 👉 A little animated illustration on the bent spindles (green) and our model (blue+pink) where we tune the rigidity of the midzone.

📢 Open Call! The Max Perutz Labs invite applications for a Tenure-Track Professorship in Mechanistic Cell and Developmental Biology. More details ➡️ tinyurl.com/3fbkp89c

📢📢Hiring 2 Research Assistants & 2 Postdocs at Emory University in Atlanta to study cytoskeletal biophysics/biochemistry. Please RT. RAs: great for recent bachelor's/master's in Physics/Bio/Chem/Biochem. Email CV and interests to shekhar@emory.edu. More info: www.shekharlab.org

⏰ Summer break time 🌄 🏖️ Real break = no computer so I ha to print. Time to (re)read some oldies but goodies 🤓

This looks fantastic, great job! I wish I could play with that device!

Have you ever thought about inflating tissues? Or maybe quickly deflating those inflated tissues? New #EpithelialMechanics pre-print: doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧵 with pressure control, multiscale buckling, controlled wrinkling

Great opportunity!

Derivery Lab - MRC LMB@deriverylab.bsky.social · last yr.

🚨 JOB ALERT 🚨 We're hiring a Research Assistant – no PhD needed! Join us to explore the molecular mechanisms of receptor sorting in endosomes. Experience in protein expression/purification, cloning & cell culture desired 🧫🔬 Apply now 👉 www.nature.com/naturecareer... #STEMCareers #ResearchJobs

Are you looking for a postdoc? I will be looking for 2-4 people after the summer to join the lab !! Do not hesitate to reach out and disseminate !!

✨We are looking for a PhD student interested in physical cell bio, imaging 🔬, biochemistry, #Xenopus 🐸 & #microtubules ✨ Join us @mpiib-berlin.mpg.de!

The trip to get here was long 🚂 but it was worth it ! 🏔️ Looking forward to discussing cool science at the #EMBOcellularmatters

Today was my last class with a group of 1st year students in #Biochem & #Cellbio. I was returning their graded exams 📜 Despite the overall poor performance (bad grades) they brought me presents (snacks) at the end of the class because they appreciated my teaching during the last semester 🥲 #blessed

Sorry for interrupting the regularly scheduled doom and gloom... REGISTER NOW for FASEB #SEPTIN MEETING in Niagara Falls, NY (June 15-19) First US septin meeting in 15 years! Lots new and exciting science. Get outta of your gloom & find your septin boom! events.faseb.org/event/septin...

🇮🇪 🏉 🇫🇷 I f***ing love rugby 🏉 #sixnations #IREvsFRA What a game !!!

Unique opportunity to join the CytoMorpho Lab (in Paris ❤️) as a postdoc to work on the self-organization and polarization of reconstituted networks made of microtubules, motors and actin filaments in vitro. Experience required. Please Repost 🙏 thanks !

Look what's happening at the French Embassy in Washington DC.
