Our April cover ➡️ hubs.la/Q02r6l130 shows overlayed temporal projection of actomyosin dynamics in the leading edge of migrating mouse embryonic fibroblast expressing EGFP-non-muscle myosin & mScarlet F-Tractin. From @fluoroforce, @myosincity et al. hubs.la/Q02r6jGp0

Spotlight: Gurley and Peifer @peiferlabunc @UNC_Lineberger highlight work from Quintanilla et al. (hubs.la/Q02mHCjr0) that reveals how the local biophysical environment regulates assembly of #myosin filaments. hubs.la/Q02mHJNy0

Actin retrograde flow in the lamellapodia of a stage one neuron. Happy #FluorescenceFriday !

In @JCellBiol, Quintanilla (@fluoroforce), Oakes (@pwoakes), Beach (@myosincity) and colleagues @LoyolaChicago demonstrate subcellular biophysical mechanisms that enable myosin 2 filament assembly. hubs.la/Q02l48n70

Excited to have my recent work on #bioRxiv. We identified cis-regulatory elements of Plp and the interact PCM scaffold are important for Plp mRNA localization at centrosomes. 🙌A team work from @w_Tian_ @fluoroforce @myosincity @LabLerit. 🙌

Thank you to all our colleagues for the amazing work you do! Without you, graduate students DON'T get degrees, papers DON'T get published, grants DON'T get funded, and PIs DON'T get tenure. Let’s hope @LoyolaChicago come to their senses and pay us a fair wage!

It’s been 7 days since our letter to @LoyolaChicago‘s president went public. We are advocating for fair and competitive pay for all Loyola’s postdocs. PIs are discussing it, but we’ve yet to hear from the administration. We’re waiting, and the scientific community is watching!
We, the Loyola University Chicago postdocs, call for an urgent raise in compensation. We addressed this open letter to President Reed on May 22nd: drive.google.com/file/d/1Ujh… 1/10

🚨⚠️🔬
Do you work with cells? Do you care about what their interior "feels" like?
@rikkigarner and I are organizing a session about the "Physical Biology of the Cytoplasm" for the second time at @ASCBiology #cellbio2023
The abstract deadline is August 1st!

It was hard not snapping an image of this CAD cell tagging non-muscle Myosin 2A and giving off⚓️vibes (or the Rebel Alliance for those who are more Star Wars inclined). Happy #FluorescenceFriday

My amazing lab rocking it at #CellBio2022 ! Big representation of @pwoakes and @myosincity this week ! Come to our last talks of the week tomorrow @Stefano_R_Sala (room 201, 15:30), Maggie Bennett (room 202B, 11:45) and our last posters @fluoroforce (B100) @leetroughton (B39)

Super excited to present my poster at my *first* #CellBio2022 !!
Come talk to me tomorrow (Sunday) from 1:45-3:15pm about my research on septins and actomyosin in the stable bleb cortex!

I got published! not in Nature but in #Fiji thanks to @christlet ! 😁
I'll explain briefly my LUTs 🧵
This quoted post is unavailable.

We are hiring a microscopy fellow!
This is a non-traditional postdoc ideal for future industry & core positions.
~1/2 "core" microscopy support for dept
~1/2 project(s) with Beach/Oakes & Kirk Labs

Here is the announcement of my new series of lectures @cdf1530 on "Collective cell motility". Stay tuned. The videos will be available online within 48h, pdf accessible for download as usual. Slides and pdf in English, the course in French. Good to practice your bilingualism!

Excited to share that @cavankatenaugh (@OWeinerLab) and Jenny Hills (@DavidGDrubin) and I are organizing the 2022 edition of the Bay Area Cytoskeleton Symposium!

Mouse cortical neuron with @spirochrome SPY-tubulin and @fluoroforce's #invertedLUT. Now to figure out how to keep them living after a few hours of super-res imaging (open to suggestions...).

Here is the link to (almost) all talks at the conference on cell motility organized @cdf1530. We had a wonderful time hosting this awesome group of scientists. We are happy to share this resource. Have fun!
