A preprint of a new paper from the lab is now on bioRxiv. It's our first submission to @bioRxivpreprint and our first Tweet. Microtubule growth rates are sensitive to global and local changes in microtubule plus-end density biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The NIH Director's blog is currently featuring Sami's award-winning movie of a microtubule aster confined in a photopatterned hydrogel container directorsblog.nih.gov/2020/02/13/the….

Our paper on microtubule aster centration is now available online @MBoCjournal . Congrats to Taylor and Sami! We express or sincerest thanks to Oakey Lab and April Kloxin Group for their contributions and to @NIGMS for funding. molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb….

Congratulations to Ted Salmon and Kerry Bloom on their election to the National Academy of Sciences on the same day! It was a privilege to pursue research in such a wonderful environment (6th Floor Fordham Hall) for cell biologists and cytoskeleton enthusiasts.

Ted is an engineer by training and a cell biologist at heart. Sometimes when Gatlin Lab Group and I would speak with Ted we swore that when he closed his eyes he was seeing the 3D structure of the spindle or kinetochore in his mind - rotating, zooming, and pulling on it.

Our paper on how proteins access the nucleus and regulate timing of transcription in early development is out on bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Great work from Thao Nguyen @AAAmodeo Gatlin Lab Group #development #proteomics #xenopus #generegulation

The University of Wyoming is hiring a director for its new imaging core facility. For details and to apply, goto eeik.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…. It's a great opportunity to work with some great folks, like @SchoborgLab, Wyoming Water Bear Lab, Eunsook Park, and if you're lucky @wyomingwormboy.

Check out a nice piece of collaborative work nature.com/articles/s4146… spearheaded by Martin Wühr and Thao Nguyen in collaboration with @gatlinlab and @AAAmodeo amongst others. Congrats to Tim Deibert on his first co-authorship!
