Deadline: 12 June
🔬 The #EMBO | #EMBL Symposium "Mechanobiology across the tree of life" is well underway here in Heidelberg.
💡 Come by our booth to talk about #photomanipulation, laser ablation, #FLUCS, and custom microscopy solutions for #mechanobiology experiments.
👋 See you at the booth!
#EESMechanobiology
Very excited that #EESMechanobiology is about to start at EMBL Heidelberg. Check out the details on the website:

Thank you very much to Prof Joe Howard, Yale University for his fantastic talk at the LSI Distinguished Seminar Series on “How molecular motors drive the motility of cilia and flagella”. @micromotility.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk
Cilia and Centrosome 2026 Meeting Update: We have extended the abstract deadline until June 23! Submit yours today to join a fantastic scientific program!
Made it to Leeds for the annual @ukcilianetwork.bsky.social meeting! Great opening talk by @helenfoster.bsky.social on how ciliary axonemes are assembled!! #cilia
I've been just a wee bit swamped and so haven't managed to bleet/skeet about a few preprints we've posted lately. Will do soon. But in the meantime, please check them out. Lab's been on a tear!

And now it's out! Happy that PNAS selected for the cover this SEM image snapped by @samjlord.bsky.social, one of the most evocative visualizations of Euplotes that I have ever encountered.

Stay tuned for what is shaping up to be some fascinating follow-up in the lab...
Basal bodies (BBs) are what eventually become motile cilia. So, if they don't get positioned correctly on the apical surface, the whole tissue-level function can go wrong → ciliopathies. We know actin is involved… but how does it actually control this process? 🤔 (3/17)
Exciting @embo.org Symposium @embl.org Heidelberg. Congrats to organizers. 🙏🏼 for the invitation! Inspiring to hear from so many systems bacteria, fungi, plants, ciliates, choanos, hydra, nematodes, insects, vertebrates to get at Principles.
EMBL is a wonderful place, my Alma Mater 🤩
Great mug!

What could be more exciting than watching Euplotes scurry around under the microscope? How about adding some raptorial predation by supergiant cannibal cells?
