Fred Chang

Only two days (extended deadline: Jan 9) left to submit your abstract for a short talk at RIKEN BDR Symposium 2023. We will explore transitions in biological systems in topics ranging from genome, mechanics, cell state, metabolism to behavior. tinyurl.com/2ftmv4w4 Please RT.

Very excited to share the latest work from our lab, led by great postdoc @AntoineVian. We developed a new technique to measure osmotic pressure directly in vivo and in situ, within living tissues. Check out the 🧵 below or the preprint in the link here ➡️biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@JoelLemiere @TLPyriden Come by to see the biggest nuclei in fission yeast cells ever.

So, you still think that the N/C ratio cannot be changed? Come the see @TLPyriden poster P1303 Sunday #CellBio2022 @fredchanglab. We'll prove you wrong!

Congrats to Erin Goley @goleylab who will present at the Ben Barres LGBTQ+ Diversity Session today at 3:15 pm in Room 151B at #cellbio2022 in Washington, DC. Come check it out!

So happy to see the Ben Barres LGBTQ+ Diversity session packed for the amazing talk given by @goleylab !!! Please join the @CellLgbtq committee tomorrow for the LGBTQ+ Ally Session! @ASCBiology #cellbio2022 #LGBTQ

Our new paper is out! Mass density is tightly regulated in cultured cells which is consistent with our previous observations in animal cells in vivo. Its regulatory mechanism and function are open questions. We’ll try to crack it soon! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@SophieMartinLab @MolinesArthur @MoCel_Geneva @sciences_UNIGE @Biologie_UNIGE Congratulations Sophie!!

The time has come to announce that my lab will be moving to the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology @MoCel_Geneva at the University of Geneva @sciences_UNIGE @Biologie_UNIGE in early 2023!

@wc_ratcliff I thought you were going to point out that they look like your mutant yeast cells.

New issue: Where do I store all these squash? And the luffa and birdhouse gourds are just really getting going!

@Turfee @Tenure @UToledo @pombe @cytokinesis Congratulations!!!

Formally Promoted to Associate Professor of Biological Sciences with @tenure @UToledo. Many thanks to my lab members, my colleagues @pombe @cytokinesis communities, most importantly my family for their support.

Dear trainees, two emails is not stalking. If you write to a PI requesting something and they don’t get back to you within a reasonable time frame (say 1-2 weeks) please don’t hesitate to contact them again. They may have meant to but forgot. 1/

@robbiediaz_ This was the look for my PhD advisor at UCSF, Ira Herskowitz

Our featured scientist is @ZachoryP from @Georgetown! Zac works on transcriptional regulation of #meiosis, focusing on RNA methylation #followhim #CellLgbtq #PrideMonth

Congrats to Yee-Hung Mark Chan for this insightful article in NCB that includes his personal perspective on “the importance of being open and proud of my identity as a gay cell biologist.”

@AydoganLab Congrats! Is this related to findings from Marc Kirschner (Hara et al., 1980) on his "bouncing frog egg" experiments in which surface contractions continue to oscillate even without a nucleus? pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

🚨Thrilled to share our lab’s first paper!🚨Excited to present our discovery that the #cytoplasm can divide without #nuclei, and do this periodically independently from the #cellcycle oscillator! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… "Oh?! What’s the mechanism and function” I hear? 1/🧵👇🏼

@OrnaCF Cool! Is this part of the ER?

If you study centrosomes, nuclear envelope, ER or condensates, this study this for you: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… 1/6

@PennCDB @buenoscience Congratulations!!

Congratulations to Matthew Good, PhD (@buenoscience) on his promotion to Associate Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology with tenure, an amazing achievement and milestone in his academic career!

@ProfCJHernandez @NeedhiBhalla @UCSF @hive @Calengineer @tejaldesai @brownengin Wonderful news!! Congratulations. I look forward to squishing some yeast cells with you.
