I'm excited to share our latest preprint on how kinesin-5's unique tetramerization and tail domains enable it to crosslink and slide microtubules. Congrats to collaborators Jawdat Al-Bassam, Scott Forth, Gary Brouhard, and Steve Rosenfeld, and especially to Malina Iwanski!

The mid-late tenure track space is particularly challenging right now. A big issue is gaining the national recognition and letter writers required for tenure. This last 1.5yrs has shut down many opportunities with only a 1yr extension to make up for it. 1/n

Thrilled that our latest work is now online at @CurrentBiology here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1cueD…
We show that crosslinked microtubule networks subject to motor-driven sliding loads can operate via two distinct mechanical pathways, which could impact mitotic spindle stability.

Very excited to be presenting our lab's work tomorrow at #MotorsInQuarantine and thanks to @AnneStraube for juggling multiple events to make it happen!
Please don't ask why I didn't manage to avoid having to run two meetings at the same time, but here we go. Our 35th #MotorsInQuarantine will be this Wednesday featuring @kdrerup and @stforth talking about microtubule organisation and neuronal transport. mechanochemistry.org/whatson…
