Cell biologist, biochemist, orienteer, mum. Seriously excited about MAPs (mechanochemistry.org/Straube/) and maps (orienteering.sport).

I also learned today the modern way of taking decisions in Germany. Is it worrying if you are chuffed about a positive response from a beer bottle?
The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes:
🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting
🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)
Beautiful day for some orienteering at Teifi Pools

We were struggling with wiggling neurites on our long term imaging data and the poor existing plugins to deal with them, until I thought "let's ask Eugene about it". Lo and behold, he just made the perfect plugin for dynamic kymograph generation!

The EMBO Lab Leadership for #Postdocs online course running 16–18 June still has places open.
Three days on the people side of running research:
- interpersonal skills
- tools for your development
- clearer communication

Aga Kendrick and I are co-chairing a session, “Intracellular Transport Logistics across Scales” at #CellBio2026, December 12-16, in San Diego this year! 🔬🌞
Abstract deadline for talks is JUNE 9. To be considered for our session, select “Cytoskeleton and Motility” as a topic area. See you there!
Our latest review is out. We take a deep dive into the human mutations in microtubule motors that drive devastating neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. Taking in motor protein biophysics, animal models of disease as well as patient phenotypes.
