BREAKING: The Trump administration will rescind its order blocking foreign students from living in the U.S. while taking classes online. A federal judge in Massachusetts just announced that the government and plaintiffs reached a resolution, Julia E. Ainsley reports.

Those who seek power over others are rarely the ones that should wield it.

to make it here without dying is the epitome of white privilege

In this #CurrentProtocols article, Nikita S. Divekar Hannah Horton & Sadie Wignall outline multiple methods for inducing auxin‐mediated depletion of target proteins in C. elegans, highlighting the versatility and power of this method. bit.ly/3jcKIpU

Week 3 of #MAYosis2021 is tomorrow, and its all about chromosome segregation! Come and hear Ahmed Balboula, Leah Rosin (Lee-ah Rose-in), @fpelisch, @BlenginiCecilia (from Dr. Karen Schindler's lab), and Gabriel Cavin-Meza (from Sadie Wignall's lab). Moths, mice, and worms, oh my!

10/10, would marry a third time. Here’s to a wonderful wife, wonderful wedding, and a wonderful future. #CavinAGoodTime #wedding Many thanks to our amazing photographer Manali (manaliannephotography.com)

I'm pleased to share my first preprint in the Wignall Lab with the meiosis community, and I hope others find it as exciting to read as I do! Very appreciative of reviewer comments to help improve the paper, and excited to get this work published soon! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out the new preprint from my lab! Highly collaborative project with beautiful work from Tim Mullen and Gabriel Cavin-Meza (co-first authors), and @IDWolff •emily• Nikita Divekar, and Justin. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our newest paper is out eLife - the journal! Check it out to learn about how motors form and stabilize acentrosomal spindles. Congrats to first author Gabriel Cavin-Meza for spearheading this important work! @monospolarspindl elifesciences.org/articles/72872

A wonderful lab and great advisor - would strongly recommend to anyone!

Our lab UC San Francisco is currently recruiting a postdoc! We work on the self-organization and mechanics underlying cell division, somewhere between cell biology & biophysics. Come join us! We will all be at ASCB if you want to chat there. Please RT.

Excited to share our work out in eLife - the journal using modeling and experiments to probe the underpinnings of the mammalian spindle's heterogeneous mechanics. In collaboration with Rob Phillips' lab. Congrats Pooja Suresh and Vahe Galstyan! elifesciences.org/articles/79558

The last project I worked on in the Wignall Lab (The Wignall Lab) is finalized and is fully online! It was a blast to be a part of a collaborative paper started by Tim Mullen and excited to see where future research of ZYG-9(XMAP215) leads! journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Excited to share a preprint! We make barrel-shaped, pole-less spindles and ask which properties emerge locally from k-fibers and which emerge more globally from focused spindle poles. Congrats Manuela Richter manuela and all authors!!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The MAYosis 2023 website is open! 5 sessions will feature 5 speakers; 1 keynote and 4 talks selected from abstracts. Only trainees & junior faculty (<6 years of starting their lab) will be considered for a talk. Abstracts due March 1. Apply now! tinyurl.com/33vft9v4

It's finally published! Who thought you could use laser tweezers in a frog egg extract! A fun collaboration with the Bustamante lab at Berkeley pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Having large cells saves ATP! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

Our paper is out! Xenopus embryos follow #kleiber’s power law between metabolic rate and body mass. But triploids embryos which are made of fewer larger cells have a lower metabolic rate than diploids. 1/3

Excited to share my latest work with @adernburg biorxiv.org/content/10.110… where we uncover a new Piezo-dependent checkpoint mechanism monitoring oocyte quality at the nuclear envelope (NE), using an in vivo chemically induced proximity (CIP) tool we developed. 1/7
