Floppy protein phase separates to make microtubules grow off each other super efficiently. (Shameless self promotion 🙃) nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congratulations to @DanaFarber's Cigall Kadoch, PhD, (@CKadoch) who was named as the Laureate of the Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists today. The prestigious award from @BlavatnikAwards and @NYASciences (cont) ms.spr.ly/l/6014mOVe0

@MatthewKraushar @PappulabWashU Thanks @MatthewKraushar ! Love the metaphor - I still refer to the FC (the innermost phase) as the North Pole of the nucleolus

it takes many layers of insight and intrepid experiments to dive this deep into layers of the nucleolus - new horizons discovered for the ribosome field expedition led by fearless explorers @MattKingLab @PappulabWashU & colleagues cheers from your friends & fans in Berlin 🍻

Congratulations to Avnika Pant on receiving a scholarship & invitation to attend the @MBLScience Physiology program this summer! This selective and intensive program is one of the oldest continually running biology courses. Avnika is a doctoral student with @PappulabWashU.

🔥🔥How does the LINE-1 retrotransposon jump around in the human genome? Super excited to present my postdoctoral work answering this published today @Nature together with twitterless Kathy Collins's lab and @NogalesLab @UCBerkeley nature.com/articles/s4158… A 🧵

Congrats to @sophiembtravis and team from @RuiZhangWUSTL and @LabPetry on the augmin structure! Also congrats to @PfefferCryoLab and @lchangpurduebio for their structural work!

@ParalkarLab Perfect encapsulation!

Have you wondered how a decades-old oocyte can give rise to a new embryo while other cells in the body age? Our study @Nature, spearheaded by @AidaRoNu, uncovers the mechanism that allows early #oocytes to maintain ROS-free #mitochondria nature.com/articles/s4158…🧵

@PappulabWashU A vibrant, happy, and productive family!

@CraigSPearson @RaxKingIsDead Yikes! Can @RaxKingIsDead make an exception for a fellow monarch?

@RaxKingIsDead @MattKingLab Girls only!

my book is for girls only fyi

@feric_marina Congrats Marina!

I am thrilled to announce that I will be starting a lab at Penn State in the Center for Eukaryotic Gene Regulation in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology as an Assistant Professor in January 2023! cegr.psu.edu/2022/04/25/mar…

Happy to present a new preprint from @MarileenD’s lab, in which we ask if a microtubule plus-end tracking comet is held together by interactions that also drive phase separation. The answer is not a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’, so here goes the 🧵1/10

@IDPseminars @PappulabWashU Post-doc presenting on the core of the nucleolus - #37

How about warming up for Thursday's #IDPosters21 with an "early career IDP researchers" roll call? 🥁 Reply to this post by introducing yourself and what you work on! (+ Abstract number)

You Were Duped Into Saying Yes. Is That Still Consent? nytimes.com/2021/03/05/opi…

At some point you have to admit that doing things ironically can have very straightforward consequences. #FakeAccountsClub @laurenoyler

Why am I "the only person who can see the true essence of this book?" Any thoughts @laurenoyler?

@LabPetry @SagarSetru @shaevitz Congrats Sagar! The @LabPetry birds will always fondly remember their home nest.

One more epic PhD came to a successful end: ⁦@SagarSetru⁩ ! Co-mentored by ⁦@shaevitz⁩ and collaboration with Howard Stone, new discoveries were made. All the best Sagar! Proud and mixed feelings: My first generation is flying out of the nest 🥺

Beautiful work officially out by @SagarSetru, Bernardo deGouveia, Josh @shaevitz and Howard Stone - a tri-departmental @Princeton collaboration. What do drops on spiderwebs and protein droplets on microtubules have in common? #PhaseSeparation on Cellular Surfaces

Jenny and Emmy are great collaborators
