My first paper from my PhD with @PaluchLab at @LMCB_UCL and @PDN_Cambridge is out in @J_Cell_Sci: Proteomic analysis of the actin cortex in interphase and mitosis

Thrilled to share our latest manuscript on smOOPs, a highly interconnected class of condensation-prone mRNAs with signs of coordinated regulation, encoding functionally related proteins. Shoutout to the incredible team @IraIosub, Jona & @KlobucarTajda.

Z dr. @NezaVadnjal se @nikazibrat v otvoritveni epizodi 10. sezone #MetaPHoDcast pogovarja o: - študiju v Veliki Britaniji, - strukturah mentoriranja doktorskih študentov in - pomembnosti prenosljivih veščin. https://t.co/feFbA7UTx9

I listened to this podcast series before being invited as a guest and I think it is a really great project highlighting early career researchers and their work. As a listener, I always appreciate the variety of areas of research covered.

I really enjoyed talking with @nikazibrat @metinalista about my PhD and share my experiences of studying a broad on Slovenian #MetaPHoDcast

Meta PhoDcast je nazaj, otvoritev 10. sezone z odlično @NezaVadnjal🤓

A bit overdue, but: goodbye Paluch lab, goodbye Cambridge, goodbye UK! A big thanks to everyone who has been a part of this period, I'll miss you a lot! To commemorate my time in the lab, here are the first and the last group photos from this time @LMCB_UCL @PDN_Cambridge

My new favorite thing is to use #ChatGPT to make poems about scientific papers. It's truly hilarious (and a bit scary how good it is) Here is a great one made using @NezaVadnjal recent paper :

I'm very glad I concluded my PhD time with another ASCB conference. It was great to meet with old and new friends, hear so much amazing science and present my project at #CellBio2022. Thanks to organisers for another fun meeting!

Sad not to be at #CellBio2022 but lab is represented by talk and poster by my freshly graduated student @NezaVadnjal with exciting findings on cortex composition and organisation! Talk: Sunday at 5.20 Session Cytoskleletal Organisation and Dynamics Poster P1771 on Monday at 12.15

Obviously, the next lesson was that it's a pain au chocolat and not a chocolatine and chocolate croissants are just wrong.

One of the things I learned from senior lab members (@AgChaigne & @Henry_de_belly) in the earlier days of my PhD is that Selfie st Tiffany en route to #ASCB2022 is mandatory! I completed this step so I'm ready for #CellBio2022!

Looking forward to #ASCB #CellBio2022 where I'll be presenting my PhD work in minisymposium Cytoskleletal Organisation and Dynamics on Sunday at 5.20 and a poster (P1771) on Monday at 12.15. Come say hi and talk about the molecular organisation of the actin cortex!

So, I got a new hat last week...and successfully defended my PhD. Thanks to my examiners and thank you everyone in the @PaluchLab for a great party afterwards and the making of this hat.

Because the lab really has the greatest postdocs...

Next up is our First person interview with Neža Vadnjal @NezaVadnjal from Ewa Paluch's lab @PaluchLab @LMCB_UCL and @PDN_Cambridge, who talks about her recent study on proteomic analysis of the actin cortex in interphase and mitosis: https://t.co/tFnnjOSShx

It’s #WhiteLightWednesday and today we’ll zoom in on work from @NezaVadnjal @PaluchLab at @LMCB_UCL and @PDN_Cambridge, published in @J_Cell_Sci, showing that septin 9 is an important regulator of cell rounding at the onset of mitosis. 📖 Publication: https://t.co/RkQz60eUgn

Excited (...relieved) to see this out at last! Thanks to everyone who made it happen, especially Joana @GutOrganoid! Also grateful to our genuinely constructive reviewers. So, if ILCs and/or organoids are your jam, pls check it out!

Congrats Neza! Been obsessed since I saw your poster and now @d0n_quixote and I are thinking about trying something like this on Xenopus cells doing convergent extension!

Very proud of my student’s @NezaVadnjal ‘s work, just published in @J_Cell_Sci. The mass spec was an epic experimental effort, congratulations Neza and all co-authors!
