I’m excited to announce that I won LERA’s Susan C. Eaton Scholar-Practitioner Award for my work on the labor process in tipped service organizations!

POV: writing your dissertation while planning a wedding means listening to pre-ceremony music while writing a 20 page discussion chapter #multitasking Adam Schoenbachler

Check out our new work on CLASP-mediated actin-microtubule interactions out in @MBoCjournal ! Congrats to Nikki Rodgers (she/her) and big thanks to our collaborators Kaverina Lab #VandyCytoskeleton

Big congrats to @laurab_rich - our lab's very first GRFP fellow!🎉

I wish I could be excited for my upcoming PhD commencement ceremony in 2 days, but my custom regalia that we spent over $1000 on has not shipped and I cannot get in contact with anyone Oak Hall Cap and Gown. I am very upset with Vanderbilt University and VU Graduate School for endorsing such a scam

Check out our latest work on CLASPs just out in JCB! Especially proud of this one - kudos to Beth Lawrence

I did it!! Next, I’m off to University of Michigan as a NIH IRACDA post-doctoral fellow. Thank you to my newly husband, Adam Schoenbachler, The Zanic Lab, family, friends, and other mentors for getting me to this point 🤩 I couldn’t have done it without all the support 🍾

Excited to be at Ole Miss this weekend to present my work and engage with the Mid-South Biophysics community 🔬🎉 #MSBS23 Biophysical Society

This really is no joke. People act like toxic environments in research is the price we have to pay for genius to succeed. But have we considered that there might be more success in positive work environments where everyone feels properly supported? /1 nature.com/articles/d4158…

As a former single student parent and current mentor to student parents, this project hits close to home. Thanks to Dr. Annie Cafer and our fantastic undergraduate co-first authors for being such a great team and willing to learn with me along the way. edarxiv.org/hdx28/

As a PI, I’ve worked to ban the word “easy” from my vocabulary when talking about research. Nothing is easy, and the longer we’re out of the lab, the more we tend to forget this.

Cytoskeletal people. Do not forget, the first Chicago Cytoskeleton session of 2023-24 academic year is on September 15 at 3 p.m. Hope to see you there. Please RT.

I’m using confocal now 😅

We are #hiring a #postdoc to join our lab Ole Miss! The NIH-funded project involves innovative, interdisciplinary work to better understand the molecular synergy that drives cellular function. 🔬 Please share! Apply here: tinyurl.com/yvnjdmjc #postdocjobs #biophysics #BME

Biomedical sciences and engineering grad student workers! Join us tomorrow 11:30-12:30 to learn what you can do to help STEM organizing. RSVP for location: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Our courageous postdoc research scientists deserve a strong first contract that expands housing access and meets their childcare needs. There is no research without the researchers. Proud to stand with Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW 💪🏽

Happy International Women's Day! We're celebrating women who have changed the world. Here's all of the amazing women who have received the #NobelPrize and their remarkable achievements at the time of the award. Who are the women who inspire you the most? #IWD2024

Harriet Saunders, Cyntha van de Berg, et al. show how ciliary tip proteins cooperate to make slow growing #microtubules in their new preprint! Together they form a structure that looks like a champagne cork in a #microtubule 😍 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
