Attn *ALL* Canadian scientists & engineers! Sign open letter to Justin Trudeau & François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 (bit.ly/3vWWDQt) asking the CDN Gov to increase NSERC / CRSNG graduate student funding to above the poverty line & #PDFs to a reasonable wage. Pls RT & spread the word!!

I hope you'll check out our new preprint where we show that huntingtin phosphorylation at S421 enhances kinesin and dynein forces on endosomes. On early endosomes, this results in shifting motility to the cell periphery, while lysosomes show enhanced displacement.

Sharing our new preprint! Here, Daniel Beaudet shows that the numbers and types of motors associated with phagosomes changes with maturation, dictating their motility and response to tau.

The published version contains lots of new results since we posted the preprint! Congrats to the team and thanks for all your hard work!

Wild to see my Master’s work with Adam Hendricks finally out in the world!

Not today. Not tomorrow. #NoSpaceForHate forever

Branches, McGill's Community Outreach Program, spent a week with the Cree nation in Chisasibi (QC) to deliver workshops, including a DNA extraction session with CRBS member Adam Hendricks reporter.mcgill.ca/outbound-explo…

New paper from the lab! Daniel Beaudet shows that early phagosomes are transported by heterogeneous sets of kinesin-1, kinesin-3, and dynein motors resulting in long, directed runs.

Nominate a colleague or yourself to speak at the Motility & Cytoskeleton Subgroup at the 2025 Biophysical Society Meeting! Radhika Subramanian and I are organizing the subgroup and looking for nominations by July 8th: forms.gle/i3AMosmEugx2cn….
