It was an honor to speak at @ChromoPalooza! In case you missed my talk: we can probe the material properties of centrosomes (green) using optically-induced flows. Fantastic collaboration with @KreysingLab.

Finally it's out! A great combination of EM and light microscopy showing that centrosomes concentrate soluble tubulin.

See our new preprint on tubulin concentration at c.elegans centrosomes. A potential nucleation mechanism biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Soluble tubulin is locally enriched at mitotic centrosomes in C. elegans

During mitosis, the centrosome expands its capacity to nucleate microtubules. Understanding the mechanisms of centrosomal microtubule nucleation is, however, constrained by a lack of knowledge of the...

Good one. You can fit anything with enough variables. 95 CI all the way!

I'm hearing lots of great things about a certain colleague 🙂. @florianjug should tell everyone to do their post-doc at UT Southwestern!

Talk by @RetoPaul at #LSFM18 was sooo amazing! In my point of view the most innovative optics contribution we saw so far. If this doesn’t make a splash... what would?

Protein phase separation followed by maturation may be a common mechanism for the formation of solid-like membrane-less organelles. Find out more in our latest review published this week in Trends in Biochemical Sciences: authors.elsevier.com/a/1WWoz…

Most mammals, including humans, form centrosomes in the zygote. The wording of this abstract suggests otherwise. They need to change it. nitter.cf/ThompsonLab/status/904…

Big oversight in this paper: the absence of centrosomes in early embryos is unique to rodents. nitter.cf/ThompsonLab/status/904…
