Our new preprint is up! This is the main postdoc work of @wiesner-t.bsky.social focusing on exocytosis along the axon shaft and its regulation by the sub membrane actin-spectrin scaffold: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Ooooh someone finally uploaded Brandford Marsalis' Jazz à Vienne 1995 concert - rare example of succesfull jazz/hip-hop fusion. The guitar solo, sax/scratch back and forth, and Charlie Parker's Dora Lee reprise at the end... so good youtu.be/sIQ1j-fYLTU?...

Latest work from the lab by Aude Nommick et al., in which we propose a "size-scaling" model for microtubule force exertion that regulates centrosome centration vs decentration during embryo development!

Applies (with minor modifications on where to post) to academia
stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

I just learned that Jean Rossier passed away. Jean was our Biology professor at @espciparispsl.bsky.social (98-01), the head of the Neurobiology lab, and my PhD director (02-06). If I (and many others) went from engineering school to a research career in biology, it is in large part thanks to him!
