Big multi-group effort deciphering role of vimentin in nuclear shape. Patterns involved. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We did it! We moved from the Physics Building to the Life Science Complex. We love our new space and thanks to all the students, staff, and group members who made it happen. I had the Dream Team. Come say hi. We are next to Blatt BioImaging Center. @syracusephysics @SU_BioImaging

Getting ready for the new school year. Love the new posters from this Cottrell Collab @DrKat9 @RCSA1

Shout-out to Excellent Student Now PhD, Dr. Maxx Swoger! He gave a great talk at his PhD Defense last week. Congratulations. 👏

We wrapped our 3rd annual Physics high school program at Syracuse University. It gets better each year! Congratulations to our interning students for all your hard work and creativity. Thank you to the over 80 volunteers from SU & SCSD that make this program possible.

The Patteson-Schwarz collaboration is back again. Current Opinion in Cell Biology piece on Reorganizing chromatin by cellular deformation. Great job @gsarthak876 for leading it. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Maria was a nuclear physicist who had a huge impact on biology & medicine. Her 1930 PhD thesis described two-photon systems that was the basis for the Two-Photon Microscope invited in the 90s. It is now state of the art technology for 3D imaging and used to diagnose skin legions.

Maria Goeppert Mayer was the 2nd woman to earn the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the nuclear shell model. This week Argonne Lab & UChicago celebrated 75 yrs of the Nuclear Shell Model and Mayer's growing legacy. Shout out to Rhiannon Hutton for sharing this great quote!

Vimentin promotes collective cell migration through collagen networks via increased matrix remodeling and spheroid fluidity. Great work from Minh Thanh. Experiments + Modeling. @syracusephysics Patteson, Schwarz, Zhang, Wu, and @SyracuseBmce Soman Groups. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I couldn't agree more! Thank you to GWIS for the invite to speak. I learned so much from the fantastic youg women of GWIS and GWIS Syracuse this weekend. Don't forget to be unapologetically confident. @rajanyag24 @garginotgarjee
