In the hope of understanding the cellular mechanisms linked to cancer, a major health challenge worldwide, a research team is melding biology, physics, and math: bit.ly/3OTGGRu.

I'm excited to share our latest preprint on how kinesin-5's unique tetramerization and tail domains enable it to crosslink and slide microtubules. Congrats to collaborators Jawdat Al-Bassam, Scott Forth, Gary Brouhard, and Steve Rosenfeld, and especially to Malina Iwanski!

The mid-late tenure track space is particularly challenging right now. A big issue is gaining the national recognition and letter writers required for tenure. This last 1.5yrs has shut down many opportunities with only a 1yr extension to make up for it. 1/n

Thanks to @EsquiviasRD_pau we now have an almost complete #MotorsInQuarantine schedule for the coming months. See here for details and sign-up: mechanochemistry.org/whatson… Huge thanks also to our sponsors @J_Cell_Sci @Cells_MDPI @Official_BSCB who keep MiQ free to attend for all.

Donald Trump is a white supremacist.
People have been warning about this for a long time.
They were ridiculed, called hyperbolic & radical - not bc they were wrong, but bc others couldn’t accept that our country elected a supremacist as President.
This is fascism at our door.

We are thrilled that our latest is live on @Dev_Cell ! We directly measured forces on sliding microtubule bundles to show that the crosslinking protein PRC1 acts like a mechanical dashpot to regulate MT speeds and integrate diverse mitotic motor activities in the dividing cell.
