So incredibly honored and excited to be a part of leading edge! Joining the ranks of all these incredible scientists has me truly humbled. To be part of Zaraโs cohort when she was so instrumental to me in my first few years at UCSF makes me feel all the things.

How do hundreds of organelles organize themselves into near-perfect patterns inside a cell, without a blueprint? We dive deep into how basal bodies (BBs) self-organize in MCCs - and how actin actively tunes their dynamics into order ๐ช

It's Leading Edge Fellow day!!! This day fills me with joy and inspiration. This cohort holds a special place in my heart because it is named for Zara Weinberg, a beloved Leading Edge Fellow who was a visionary scientist and fierce advocate for building a better scientific ecosystem

Congratulations, @konjikusicmia.bsky.social. It makes my heart well up to have this cohort named in memory of Zara, an extraordinary scientist.
Please come join me in Washington, DC August 2-6th for the FASEB SRC on Cilia and Centrosomes meeting! Over 40 talks will be selected from abstracts. We are also excited to launch our first North American Ciliopathy Summit, held at the same venue on August 2. events.faseb.org/event/cilia-...
Check out this synopsis from Harry @yliu160.bsky.social on his new paper on the regulation of centriole architecture. And congratulations to Harry on starting his own lab @stonybrooku.bsky.social! You should work with Harry on all things centrosomal and ciliary!
1/ Thrilled to share our latest: an exciting collaboration across the @jshendure.bsky.social, @leastarita.bsky.social, @nobuhamazaki.bsky.social and @dschweppe.bsky.social labs! ๐งต below-
