Watch the movies while reading our newest. Great work from Jasmin Imran Alsous, with @NicolasRomeo17, Jonathan Jackson, and @frank_m_mason. Another great collaboration with Jörn Dunkel's group who provide the critical connection to balloons. @MITBiology pnas.org/content/118/10…

@TanentzapfLab Have I got one of those coming for you!

I really like papers that try to "solve" problems or explain how things work but I also really really like papers that show that a problem is much more complicated or that Nature is messy. I think those papers are underrated & that their contribution to science is very important.

Check out this excellent profile of Professor of Chemistry and @MITBiology Catherine Drennan (@Drennan_Lab) recently published in @PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Join us at the 2025 Cell Contact and Adhesion @GordonConf. Great people and great science!

@la_yemu Congrats Yanín!

Our work in tissue folding is finally out! Go and read it now

Thus, we showed a relay system that doesn’t just result in a wave of the same shape change, but a trigger mechanism for one mode of morphogenetic change jump-starting another.

These cell adhesion complexes serve as a scaffold to recruit actomyosin through patterned mechanical feedback. Thus, EGFR + mechanical pull recruits actomyosin. Work from @StreichanS demonstrated this patterned feedback and we showed that it is linked to EGFR.

Pleased to share the publication of our paper showing the role of EGFR in coordinating morphogenetic movements in Developmental Cell. Congratulations @MITBiology postdoc, @natclarke8 for all your hard work! Article: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39461341/

Online now: Postdoc Nat Clarke's @natclarke8 excellent work on a mechanism that coordinates tissue folding and axis extension. Great job and congratulations Nat!

@MandanaMsrp @EliezerCalo @MIT @kochinstitute @WhiteheadInst @MITBiology Great talk!

It was a full house ⁦@EliezerCalo⁩ seminar ⁩⁦@MIT⁩ ⁦⁦@kochinstitute⁩ ⁦⁦@WhiteheadInst⁩ #MSRPBio . Record time from college grad at 2006 ⁦to excellent tenure talk ⁦@MITBiology⁩ in 2024! BRAVO Eliezer!’

@PichaudLab I did a similar route last month. Sea wall was great, such beautiful views!

IMO in career decisions, too many people optimize for what they think they’re entitled to when instead, opting into cool shit and proving themselves will often result in way better outcomes than they expected in the first place

@JTroyLittleton This is hilarious!

Lab Picower Summer Social Theme for our group has been set -- Inside-Out -- I didn't realize I could look so angry!

@lbackman21 That is amazing!

@marko_kaksonen @Ch_Bioch_UNIGE @sciences_UNIGE @unige_en Congrats Marko, very well deserved!

@Ch_Bioch_UNIGE @sciences_UNIGE @unige_en Honored to be elected as a member! Thanks goes to all the lab members, collaborators and colleagues with whom I have had the pleasure to work with over the years!

Congratulations to Prof. @marko_kaksonen on being elected as an EMBO member! This honor recognizes his outstanding contributions to life science research. Read more: unige.ch/sciences/chimi… @sciences_UNIGE @unige_en

@JosephCampanale @unlv Congratulations, you will be a great PI!

Humbled, thrilled, anxious and overjoyed to share that the Campanale Lab will open @unlv in January 2025 where we will investigate the cellular mechanisms of how cells build tissues collectively. #newPI #prideinSTEM #Daretodream

@jbwallingford @jbwallingford must have been giving his talk.

Remain calm! Nothing to worry about at the cell polarity GRC😬

@MandanaMsrp @MITBiology Much of science is finding ways to perform mundane tasks in a way that entertains you and serves other purposes as well. It took me ~ 10 miles of walking to flip the entire collection of flies.

THIS is what real multitasking and dedication looks like ⁦@MITBiology⁩ ⁦⁦⁦@MartinLabMIT⁩ ! PI Flipping flies, exercising and listening to music all at once, while Technician is away on honeymoon.

@seyeon_chung @vishakha_v96 @NIH Good luck Vishakha!

Last day for @vishakha_v96. She was brave enough to join my brand new lab as the 1st student 6 yrs ago and has been a dream student for a PI. She is starting a new adventure as postdoc in the Weinstein lab at @NIH to study zebrafish/cavefish development. Wish her all the best!

I am incredibly excited and honored to be running for the Secretary position for the Society of Developmental Biology! If you are a member, I would appreciate your support and your vote. I'd love the opportunity to serve our community in this way. Thanks!! Plz RT!
