another (bio)physicist checking in, doing cool science with colorful nails( though mine aren’t nearly as fun as those cool iridescent ones!) 💅 anyways, people against harmless forms of self expression are huge losers. life’s too short! have some fun decorating your flesh vessel!
I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh. So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails. Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM
Featuring @katecavanaugh.bsky.social @yusuke-mori.bsky.social @fengtongji.bsky.social @liamjrussell99.bsky.social Gavin Schlissel, June Ho Hwan, Yuxuan Rain Xiong, Rohit Joshi, and myself! Sun 10AM–12PM, Room 120 (The app is missing the first few talks, but I assure you talks start right at 10AM!)
Super excited to share some of my work in such a great session at #cellbio2025!! If you’re at the meeting come on down, I’ll be talking about cell density and its influence on tissue fluidization during epithelial morphogenesis 🔬👨🏻🔬🪰
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!
Hi everyone! 🥰🏳️⚧️🤘 I’m undergoing gender affirming surgery the second week of May, and would very much appreciate any support people are able to give. Here’s a link to my ongoing fundraiser: gofund.me/da8a4e08
Donate to Help Liam fund his Top Surgery, organized by Liam Russell
Hello!! This is Liam, and I’m raising money to help fund my upcoming gender affirming surg… Liam Russell needs your support for Help Liam fund his Top Surgery

What a fantastic way to kick off #DROS25 with a plenary lecture from the amazing @denisemontell.bsky.social! A role model to all of us scientists, a brilliant experimentalist, and an all-around great human.
Any other crafters attending #Dros25? come talk to me if you’d like a copy of the color-work chart I designed for this beauty, my favorite sweater ever 🤘 featuring WT and cyo variations!
He's also looking pretty spiffy these days ;-) #eliteknittingskills
I’m super jazzed to represent the lab at #DROS25!! Looking forward to a fun week of cool science 🪰🧬🥳
Liam is repping the lab at #DROS25 — check out his talk on tiny cells and cell density effects during early morphogenesis 5PM Saturday in Ballroom A/B! @genetics-gsa.bsky.social
Happy to see this collab with the Loerke lab out in @jcb.org - congrats to Katie, Liam, Dinah, and all coauthors. Read more about "rectifying" interfaces here: doi.org/10.1083/jcb....
