Thank you for coming to our session yesterday!
We had a blast and we hope you enjoyed the talks!
Big thanks to our speakers for showcasing what physical based thinking can bring to biological problems at all scales!
See you all next year 😉

My former bench mate @joellemiere.bsky.social from the @fredchanglab.bsky.social giving a killer talk about nuclear size regulation in fission yeast at #ASCB #CellBio2025
Stay tuned for the paper to come soon !
Beautiful experimental data falling on the mathematical model, no fit needed 🤩

Are you interested in cytoskeleton and looking for a postdoc position? I will be advertising positions in the new year but happy to chat in person if you are attending ASCB @ascbiology.bsky.social in Philadelphia. Just drop me a line.

Congrats to all involved!
I have seen the story develop during my time in the Chang lab, and it is a real pleasure to see it out.
Looking forward to reading it!

Anyone interested in microtubule mechanics, spindle, mitosis, etc, you should check it out 😉
We have a new preprint!

👉 We’ve developed a novel method to induce spindle buckling and utilize this deformation to gain insights into their structural integrity.

👉 A little animated illustration on the bent spindles (green) and our model (blue+pink) where we tune the rigidity of the midzone.

This looks fantastic, great job!
I wish I could play with that device!
Have you ever thought about inflating tissues?
Or maybe quickly deflating those inflated tissues?

Today was my last class with a group of 1st year students in #Biochem & #Cellbio.
I was returning their graded exams 📜
Despite the overall poor performance (bad grades) they brought me presents (snacks) at the end of the class because they appreciated my teaching during the last semester 🥲

The good thing about living in the same country than my parents again and because they are in the middle of nowhere and grow stuff 🧅🥦🥬 is that I get seasonal "CARE package" with whatever got canned recently or is in season😋
Just found that in the mail today 🤩

For my non-french friends on here this is a "crusted pâté" or pâté en croûte.
This is a very old delicacy dating back centuries 😋
For a first try, I am not mad, rather pleased.
