First preprint from the lab 🚨 We asked when and how global chromatin organization emerges during early development 🐟

Hot take but any reporter that makes the actin network visible will make any cell look awesome under the microscope! These Xenopus 🐸 ectoderm cells are expressing an actin tension sensor, and you can see the retrograde flow very nicely. Actin is better than microtubules 😁 #FluorescenceFriday

It took 14 months, but I’m incredibly excited to share that my NIMH Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) has officially been funded!

New preprint on 3D heterochromatin architecture in human cells! Great collab with @sergiocruzleon.bsky.social & @johannesbetz.bsky.social from @hummerlab.bsky.social, @marinalusic.bsky.social & the Turoňová lab. Many thanks to my supervisor @becklab.bsky.social. bioRxiv: tinyurl.com/3a74uanv 🧵👇

I love these PIP3 biosensors because it labels the plasma membrane so well. You can see the cell's edge so clearly along with any intracellular vesicles. Also, this cell is so blebby. This video was taken when I was still working on endocytosis :D Good old times! #FluorescenceFriday
