Please retweet I'm looking for a research technician. Current undergrads who cannot start until after graduation will be considered. Ambition is much more important than skills specific to our work. Apply here: bc.csod.com/ats/careersite/J….

Here are the two papers on Pom1 super-resolution and TIRF imaging by @VenetaG1 in my lab with @SulianaManley and by the @MoseleyLab. A common theme: Pom1 clusters are the critical unit to shape the gradient. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
