Kinesin-4 (cyan) mixed with Kinesin-1, with PEG and microtubules (red). I spent the rest of my PhD trying to understand Kinesin-4 on it's own in this sort of system, and we never came back to mixing them.

Bleaching lines in a contracting microtuble/kinesin material. I'm not sure if this will come across in bluesky, but as the microtubles start to align better you start to see faint lines split off from from the original bleaching line and travel along the direction of alignment.

From @linnealemma.bsky.social , an active nematic liquid crystal. But the system doesn't have enough phosphoenol pyruvate to keep fueling ATP regeneration, so watch the motion stop and the liquid crystal lock in from right to left!

I think people liked the bad stitching video? Here is another one. These samples have long microtubules initially (or at least the mean of the log-normal distribution is fairly long). You can see this sample tugging which made me feel like it was alive

While reading and doing research for our next journal club, I stumbled upon the Preprints in Motion podcast which is an interview-with-the-authors style format.

My first ever attempt at multi-Field-Of-View stitching with uManager (January 2016). 4 FoVs, the horizontal overlapped worked, but the vertical overlap didn't. Still it's cool to see the dilute microtuble/kinesin phase up top at the same time as the dense line-contracted phase below.

Had fun at #ASCB #CellBio2025 yesterday. I feel I'm starting to understand the poster format.
No movies in a poster though, so here is a single confocal slice of ATPRed1 in the chick lung mesenchyme. Is the thin bright stripe ATP being used for vasculogenesis? It's in the right place for it!

An emulsion of microtubles (greyscale) driven by kinesin-14 XCTK2 (which Peter says is like saying "fruit apple") with SHG signal in red. Done with @peterjfoster.bsky.social roughly a decade ago.

Back in 2016, I spent some time centrifuging chambers containing a kinesin/microtubule -based active gel so that all the material ended up on one side of the chamber. Then recorded how long it took to expand.

Always loved this one... Microtubules with tip-dwelling kinesin. I think the video got a little bit more compressed every time I got a new computer and transferred it.

I can't believe we never published any of this stuff. It's so bittersweet everytime I go through old presentations and find it again.
