Our newest paper is out (ahead of print) in @MBoCjournal! Beautiful work by @hannahhearsawho and Nikita Divekar revealing structural features of meiotic chromosomes that promote proper congression and segregation. molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb…
Princeton doing the right thing and removing graduate "tuition" so they can pay PhD students more. Why should a PI mentor pay the school tuition for their student in yr 3+ w/ no classes? What is that money for? Should be research funds!

Excited to have played a small role in a new work from @LacknerLabNU! We provide evidence that calcium binding by Num1 integrates the mitochondrial and nuclear positioning pathways in budding yeast. @MBoCjournal molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb…

Check out the latest review from the Lackner Lab: The multifunctional nature of mitochondrial contact site proteins. @LLLackner #mitochondria doi.org/10.1016/j.ceb.…
Mitochondrial fission and fusion are spatially coordinated at ER membrane contact sites, say Abrisch et al @CUBoulderMCDB @NorthwesternU bit.ly/2wahfbS @1robear27 @LLLackner @LacknerLabNU #mitochondria #ERLiterature
Abrisch et al show that fission and fusion machineries converge at #mitochondria-ER contact sites to provide a unified platform where fission and fusion are coordinated to balance mitochondrial dynamics and morphology bit.ly/2wahfbS @1robear27 @LLLackner @LacknerLabNU
