Very pleased to share that my PhD work has finally found a resting place. It can be accessed here: pnas.org/content/early/2020/…

Inspired by our scheduled @Space_Station link up with the Crown Princess of Sweden, I set my camera lens on my mother’s home country (I have dual citizenship with Sweden!). With the inclination of the ISS orbit, we never pass directly over Scandinavia, but I was lucky enough to catch some aurora dancing in that neighborhood, just a few days before our call. Heja Sverige! The timelapse shows city night lights but settings optimized for aurora, air glow, stars. :06 Norway appears at right edge of screen :10 Sweden appears at right edge of screen :19 Sweden in center of screen :28 Moscow appears on right of screen :37 Moscow in center of screen In the first image, you can see part of each of the Scandinavian countries – Sweden is in the center of the image (looks like some clouds over Southern Sweden, so lights look a bit blurry there), the air glow of the atmosphere at night, and the aurora (and the edge of an ISS solar array). In the second image, you can see parts of Norway and Sweden (again a bit blurry in Southern Sweden due to clouds). The large bright spot in lower right area of image is Stockholm. Both photos were taken on March 11, and the timelapse taken on March 13.

🚨 UNITED PASSENGER CATCHES INSANE NASA ROCKET LAUNCH FROM PLANE WINDOW — FLIGHT ATTENDANT LOSES IT MID-AIR A United flight just turned into a front-row seat to history. A woman captures the exact moment NASA’s Artemis II rocket launches… straight from her window at 30,000 feet. And then you hear the flight attendant: “15 years of flying… I’ve been praying to see something like this.” • Rocket blasting through the clouds • Crew calling it a “once in a lifetime” moment He said he flew to Florida multiple times just to see a launch… Canceled. Every time. And then this happens midair. What are the chances you randomly look out your window… and see history taking off?

1/11 We explored how cells adhere to supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) using Invasin, a high-affinity integrin ligand. Surprisingly, cells spread and form mature integrin adhesions on fluid SLBs, revealing novel microtubules-driven mechanotransduction! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

I'm excited to share the new preprint from @KevinChalut and @VallierLab presenting my PhD work!

One of the reasons why it is so difficult to maintain weight loss is because adipose issue retains an epigenetic memory of obesity after weight loss. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

An exciting topic and a great line up of speakers - come join us in Ascona to think abouth living materials and their emergent properties. @Aumeier_Lab @LabBarral @MichaelsLabETH Matthieu Piel @grace05868946 and bml.ethz.ch/

Excited to share our latest work on an image analysis paradigm that combines cell state and morphology analyses of patient biopsies at single cell resolution to uncover clinically relevant head-and-neck #cancer phenotypes! @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092… tweetorial👇

🚨 Super psyched this story is finally out!   Herculean effort and 3rd chef d’oeuvre in @NatCellBio by @patriziaromani in just 5y, where we describe #mitochondrial #mechanotransduction.   nature.com/articles/s41556-0…   Megathread with bonuses ⬇︎⬇︎⬇︎

Excited to share my PhD work with @SchuhLab @mpi_nat on #aging and #fertility out now in @CurrentBiology!🥳 Women are born wilh millions of #eggs but left with a few by the time they are in their mid-30s. #DNADamage largely drives this loss. But why can't this damage just be repaired? 🥚🧬💥 We show why aged oocytes accumulate more DNA damage and also discover a network of DNA repair compartments! Read more below 👇

Cells maintain narrow #cellsize distributions, but also adapt size in changing conditions. We found that regulators with redundant roles in steady state have specific functions in size adaptation upon a nutrient shift. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… @YagyaChadha @frank_pado @robert_ife

7 years ago, I met a junior fellow named @JD_Buenrostro who blew me away with a vision of futuristic genomic technologies Today, we (@ajaylabade31, @carolinecomenho) are excited to share our first steps into that future: Expansion in situ genome sequencing 1/

Squid&Octopi in latest @naturemethods piece “Bioimaging for all”. Without getting 🔬in hands of brilliant people in the world - we can’t democratize science. Excited to join this mission, reach out to us at @cephlainc where we are building a new vision for robotic microscopy.

Let me introduce: InstanSeg 🦠🔬💻👩‍🔬 This *would* have been a short thread about Thibaut Goldsborough’s PhD work… but he solved too many problems. Now it's a long thread about 2 preprints, a whole new approach to cell segmentation & #opensource software to make it easy to use

Inverse blebs in mouse blastocyst now peer-reviewed @NatureCellBio with @MSchliffka and @argo_mu! nature.com/articles/s41556-0… Check out the excellent tweetorial from @MSchliffka and celebrate with this latrunculin-treated embryo that is inverse blebbing like there is no tomorrow!
