We're excited to announce this year's run of AQLM,held at the Marine Biological Laboratory,Woods Hole,MA,USA.The course runs April 26th-May 4th,2023.Applications due January 25th, 2023.Apply through the course web site at mbl.edu/aqlm. Financial assistance available.

If you're going to #Dros23 me, @RFG_Lab & Adam Martin put together a dream team of a workshop on developmental mechanics. Featuring talks from Ruth Lehmann David Bilder Dr. Tina Tootle CarthewLab, Mo Weng, Rick Fehon & Tony Harris. Excitement wise it's a fly equivalent of Fast X.

Here at the KI, we're thrilled to be able to see and admire these gorgeous #KIimages every day we come to work. You can come enjoy them too! Our galleries are open to the public M-F 6am-7pm. ki.mit.edu/about/galleries

Just like origami, tissues must remodel--bend, stretch, compress and fuse--to create new shapes, according to Mary Ann Collins presenting "Remodel Organism: Tissue Origami in a Fruit Fly Embryo" #KIimages

Congrats MIT Biology postdoc Mary Ann Collins for winning a KI Image Award #KIImages. Good job Eric Folker for training a brilliant microscopist and scientist.

Developing tissue undergoes extensive remodeling as the organism transforms from a simple collection of cells into a complex system of life. This #KIimages winner shows tissue “origami” at work in a fruit fly embryo. Image creator @MACollins_ explains: youtu.be/b4AKspwzg14

MIT Biology Anna Yeh's Bitesize (Btsz) work is submitted - biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Anna showed that Btsz is required for metaphase furrows during syncytial divisions, which prevent spindle collisions. Together with Bruce Goode lab, we showed that Btsz bundles F-actin.

New study on the aging of cell nuclei by Jörn Dunkel’s group and Adam Martin led by PhD students Jonathan Jackson and Nicolas Romeo Keaton Burns MIT Science doi.org/10.1038/s41567…

a bit late but finally made it over to 🟦☁️ looking forward to reconnecting with everyone already there!

Jonathan Jackson and Marlis Denk-Lobnig completing story on regulated transitions in actomyosin dynamics - biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. MIT Biology student Marlis Denk-Lobnig made key observations in embryo. Jonathan linked to the Drosophila germline and characterized the embryo 🌊🌊🌊.

Adam Martin and MIT Biology trainees are representing at American Society for Cell Biology annual meeting. Lab members are presenting their work on patterning in cells and Drosophila embryos from simple (crane and chickadee) to highly complex (bird of paradise). Analogy because I am a birder. #ASCB

excited to be presenting my work from the Adam Martin > Two F-actin disassembly factors, CAP and AIP1, regulate distinct pools of actomyosin dynamics to promote epithelial remodeling during Drosophila gastrulation (B94/P1824) - come stop by! #cellbio2023

excited to finally see this published in Developmental Cell! this piece was a true *𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦* and an amazing collaborative effort with Roeder lab about common themes in plant and animal morphogenesis🌱🪰🔖 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to see our collaborative review with @Roederlab finally published. Great work by trainees Isabella Burda and Mary Ann Collins to put together all of our crazy ideas over ~ 4 years and push it across the finish line. cell.com/developmental-…

Our collaborative review with Isabella Burda, Mary Ann Collins, and @martinLabMIT identifying common principles in plant and animal morphogenesis is out Developmental Cell. 1/6 cell.com/developmental-…
