Every time i see this picture i giggle…😂 Pinar Gurel

Thrilled that our paper on joint regulation of actin structure by nucleotide state and bending forces has appeared in @nature ! nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are hiring lab technicians and postdocs! Please share with anyone looking, or email me for more info!! We use #neuroscience and #genetic techniques to understand how neurons generate behavior!!

1/10 We’re excited to share a new preprint focused on kinesin-1 auto-inhibition led by Zhenyu Tan. TL;DR - we show that kinesin-1 is inhibited more like origami instead of head-to-tail using a combination of negative stain EM, XL-MS, and #AlphaFold. 🧵 below:

This morning we’re celebrating the first Delta nonstop flight from MEM to Boston! Balloons, swag bags, and cookies were handed out to the lucky first passengers on this route. 🎈✈️♥️💙
