The Burnette Lab did well this year in the Nikon Small World contest this year! Way to go James and Zach! 🔬 https://t.co/9Q5jkpa3qd

Has anyone even asked the cells if they wish to be perturbed

Second-year grad students are now ineligible for the NSF GRFP, screwing over an entire cohort of students who postponed submitting last year in hopes to have a more solid app this year. No announcement from the @NSF. What gives?

Excited to share that I got an honorable mention in the #nikonsmallworldinmotion competition this year! Contracting human heart muscle cells | 2025 Small World in Motion Competition | Nikon Small World:

Breaking News: @EmmaKoory won the Best Graduate Student talk award at the Program in Developmental Biology retreat today! Carries on Burnette Lab tradition! #CellBiology @VUBasicSciences

Are my basic scientists still here? Haven’t done #FluorescenceFriday in quite a bit. Feeling sad about the state of science in the US? Go stare at some fibroblast actin networks (shown here) in a microscope until your eyes bleed! It works!

I’m excited, relieved, and honored to announce that my paper describing non-canonical mitotic mechanisms in the early mouse embryo is out in @ScienceMagazine ! (link at end of 🧵)

We designed “Rainbow Nucleus” to reveal the secret relationships among five major nuclear membrane-less organelles using live-cell imaging. A lot is unknown: what mediates these interactions? What are the functions? https://t.co/5YE6Sf7lbT

At 15, I left all my family and friends and came to the US , ALONE, seeking a country where MERIT and HARD WORK mattered-not politics. For 30 years, I worked tirelessly, even doing reseach at MIT the day my mother died, knowing she’d want me to keep pushing forward. Today, my

It’s a little late, but as of last Monday, I am now officially Dr. Sanchez. So incredibly grateful for the training and mentorship that I received in the Burnette lab under @MAG2ART! Can’t wait to change research paths a little bit and start studying Toxoplasma with @LouridoLab

Do you LOVE organelles?? Well I am THRILLED to announce that Nellie has been published in @naturemethods! Nellie a fully automated pipeline for organelle segmentation, tracking, and hierarchical feature extraction in 2D, 3D, timelapse, multichannel live-cell microscopy 🧵1/N

A News and Views about blebbisomes too? That's awesome! Fig. 1 shows the first cartoon that includes blebbiosmes with the rest of the extracellular biology universe! So cool! #CellBiology #EVuniverse https://t.co/uBPnR6JnjM

Happy #FluorescenceFriday ! Today is an exciting day because I can finally share data from my thesis work. Below is a gif of a blebbisome, a new large extracellular vesicle that I describe and characterize in collaboration with the Coffey Lab. https://t.co/u1tUtyjxyR

I am excited to finally be able to share with you our work reporting the first Extracellular Vesicle with a personality! This video does not show a cell, it is a Blebbisome! #CellBiology https://t.co/ABCCCZ5fPp

So happy to have had the opportunity to present my research at #ASCB this year. Can’t wait to soon share the published research with everyone!

Real comment I got on my triaged AHA Fellowship application. To any other trainees struggling with comments like this, you’re not alone! 🙃

Latest @biorxiv_cellbio manuscript from @LabMacara . So happy to have led this work, from the initial observation to the submission. Thank you @American_Heart for believing in this project and for funding 2 years of my postdoc.
