Our newest paper is out (ahead of print) in @MBoCjournal! Beautiful work by @hannahhearsawho and Nikita Divekar revealing structural features of meiotic chromosomes that promote proper congression and segregation. molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/…

Newfound features of meiotic chromosome organization that promote efficient congression and...

In Caenorhabditis elegans oocytes, end-on kinetochore-microtubule attachments do not form; instead, chromosome alignment is mediated by a protein complex that encircles the chromosome (the “ring...

Princeton doing the right thing and removing graduate "tuition" so they can pay PhD students more. Why should a PI mentor pay the school tuition for their student in yr 3+ w/ no classes? What is that money for? Should be research funds!

Princeton made a radical move on doctoral student finances this past week. Rather than try to put this in a twitter thread, I wrote a blog post about it: nanoscale.blogspot.com/2022/…

Excited to have played a small role in a new work from @LacknerLabNU! We provide evidence that calcium binding by Num1 integrates the mitochondrial and nuclear positioning pathways in budding yeast. @MBoCjournal molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/…

Hierarchical integration of mitochondrial and nuclear positioning pathways by the Num1 EF hand |...

Num1 anchors mitochondria and dynein to the cell cortex. We found that the EF hand of Num1 and its ability to bind calcium function to couple dynein anchoring and activity in nuclear inheritance to...
