New study out on bioRxiv! We have studied how resources are shared between actin networks competing for a limited pool of components. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The high point of any graduate program retreat has to be the Booth-Buchwalter cocktail party. Young faculty like this give me hope for the future. @dsboothacosta @abbybuch

Hmm. Food for thought
Interesting...the virome of the last eukaryotic common ancestor is bacterial, not archaeal. nature.com/articles/s41564-0… This may be evidence that a bacteria engulfed an ASGARD archaea, rendering it immune from viruses, not the other way around as is typically assumed. Cool!

Visualizing moth wing scale development with @KyleDeMarr from @MullinsLab on @amsikking's AIRR snoutscope today! Using a 1.3 oil-immersion lens to image >100 um deep past the moth's cuticle. Absolutely gorgeous biology and microscopy.

On my way to @MBLScience! Happy to talk about methane-producing microbes during my participation in the 2024 BID workshop! I'll be there all week!

I don't know which specific post or storm this is responding to, but as a statement of general principle, I couldn't agree more.
I missed the twitter drama. But dont take X/twitter seriously. If there's someone out there feeling proud for themselves, that's ok, maybe it's about them, not us. If they're trying to sell you soap, you don't need to buy the soap

#FluorescenceFriday #cellbiology #bioart A neutrophilic HL-60 cell exhibits both sheet- and rosette-like dynamic pseudopods as it migrates in 3D through a collagen mesh. Here, the cell center is marked in yellow, and each pseudopod is marked with an orange ball of size proportional to its volume. As seen by lattice light sheet microscopy.

Cool! Choano calcium signaling
Electrical signaling and coordinated behavior in the closest relative of animals. Our latest on using calcium imaging, to identify a novel behavior, which is synchronized in colonies. #choanoflagellates biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @ColgrenJeffrey @MSarsCentre @UiB @biorxivpreprint

This is super cool —the flip side of previous studies that identified polymerizing metabolic enzymes by screening collections of GFP-tagged proteins
