I had an alumni who had an issue in the lab. Last minute cancellation of a new hire left her in the lurch. She called for advice, I offered to send James for two months.

I'm incredibly proud of the team for sharing their stories. They were intensely personal and difficult to write, but everyone wanted to participate to tell other scientists "you are not alone"

Very cool sci-art!
This weekend we projected cells and filaments on the roof of the @museeorsay.bsky.social in Paris, then we contracted it with a pinch of myosin.
And it was fabulous!
Grateful to have been part of this art/science project & thx to @manuelthery.bsky.social @lblanchoin.bsky.social & the CytoMorphoLab
