Hello Twitter! The lab is on our way to D.C. for #ASCBEMBO2019, and we’re excited to already be delayed!

Catch Brett scootering across the National Mall! #ASCBEMBO2019

Come see Heidi Anderson present her work on the regulation of mitochondria-dependent dynein anchoring at Poster B540 today at 1:30! #ASCBEMBO2019

If you're at #ASCBEMBO19 be sure to check out Hannah Horton's poster (The Wignall Lab Sadie Wignall): A Protein Complex Essential For C. Elegans Meiosis Is Comprised Of Distinct Structural Domains, P1147/B273, Chromosome Organization 2 from 12-1:30 today!

Great minds think alike! Clare and Heidi twinning today in the official Lackner Lab color!

Paczkis and king cake for our Mardi Gras lab meeting. Clare found the baby!

Exciting work from Brett and our collaboration with Robert Abrisch and the Voeltz Lab!

Mitochondrial fission and fusion are spatially coordinated at ER membrane contact sites, say Abrisch et al MCDB at CU Boulder💉😷🧬 Northwestern bit.ly/2wahfbS Robert Abrisch @LLLackner Lackner Lab #mitochondria #ERLiterature

Abrisch et al show that fission and fusion machineries converge at #mitochondria-ER contact sites to provide a unified platform where fission and fusion are coordinated to balance mitochondrial dynamics and morphology bit.ly/2wahfbS Robert Abrisch @LLLackner Lackner Lab

Congratulations Michael!

We are so proud of Antoineen White for winning the IBiS Student Org Northwestern U Annual Excellence in Leadership and Engagement Award 2020!!! We are happy her efforts as Chair and Co-founder of the Diversity in Biological Sciences (DiBS) Council within IBiS.northwestern are being recognized.

Happy Holidays from the Lackner Lab and our Petri Dish Angel! @LLLackner

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

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!

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