mood

But as we highlight in the piece, many of my colleagues have had a very different experience.

I’m really proud of this work, and also want to emphasize - it doesn’t have to be this way. I feel very lucky to be in a department whose leadership encouraged me to go up w my original timeline despite the challenges of young kids and COVID that I faced as jr faculty

New paper I'm extremely proud of: "Extended time, elevated expectations: The unappreciated downsides of pausing the tenure clock". We argue that extensions should be treated as a safety net, not insurance policy (1/6) https://t.co/aofHOFUInl

We are already in Dubrovnik having a great fish dinner & drinking Dragon’s Blood Plavac Mali! #SpindleCroatia2023 with @SueBiggins @jstumpffVT @R_Ohi_Lab @B_B_Beast @mwelting @nenad_pavin

For scale - maybe 5 mm or so long (the stick part anyway)

Looking through pond water today for vorticella to image with the @pco_imaging camera and also found this amazing creature. Anyone know what it is? I hear @viboud calls it a “stick worm” but that’s not coming up on Scholar 🤪

Ok this might be enough to get my reentry to Twitter to stick

If you’re a soon-to-graduate student at #APSMarch interested in understanding cytoskeletal mechanics by shooting cells with lasers (or know someone who is) I’d love to chat! Or if you’re not here - postdoc position will be posted on my lab website soon!

Side note: I’m really glad the #bps2022 Subgroup Saturday organizers included some student and postdoc talks (which have been uniformly great!) but I wish they’d listed names and abstracts. I almost missed this talk because it wasn’t listed in the program.

Very cool talk from @mannylikescells in the @DumontLab - k-fibers don’t need poles to get to the right length!

Beautiful talk from @SamReckPeterson demonstrating how RNA editing helps squid kinesins adapt to different temperatures. The idea that organisms can turn up their motors when it’s cold out blows my mind! #bps2022

Will be presenting some new data from the lab probing mechanical connection between the spindle and nuclear envelope in S. pombe on Wednesday. Come say hi!

First time at an in person meeting in more than 2 years seems like a good excuse to dust off the old twitter #bps2022

Welcome back @justinbieber 🎉! Riddick and the students have missed you🥺. He made his momentous return since >70% of the @NCState Pack are vaccinated💉!

I'm stopping for now to get back to that pesky to do list, but additional suggestions very much appreciated.

Speaking of gorgeous, how beautiful is this?

How could you feel anything but joy and gratitude at the prospect of being a microscopist when looking at an image like this?! What a time to be alive.

There's some kind of metaphor for me and my to do list in this one. Let's not talk about it.

S. japonicus, always make me think a little chubby cousin of S. pombe that had too much Thanksgiving dinner

Ok I'm starting out by searching the #microscopymonday hashtag. Soothing is what I'm looking for tonight, so the calm palette of these fission yeast S. pombe is perfect
