Scientist @ Institut Pasteur Mechanobiology ⚙️ + Cryo-ET 🧊 | Capturing battles 🛡️ between host & pathogen 🦠 | Science at intersection of physics 🔭 and life 🧬
The cell looks like Inkay Pokémon🔬 — yellow glowing arms, pink heart.
Under attack by cyan bacteria🦠, but it’s just vibing on the glass, dancing🪩, unaware of the aftermath☠️. #FluorescenceFriday #Microscopy #CellBiology #mechanobiology @pasteuredu.bsky.social #hostpathogeninteraction @pasteur.fr

Watching fission yeast divide is cool🦠. But showing it with a kymograph? Even cooler 😎, shows it all—mitosis, cell wall—packed into spatiotemporal magic🪄. Flattening time into 2D just makes it easier to understand. #FluorescenceFriday @pasteur.fr @pasteuredu.bsky.social #Microscopy #Microbiology🔬

Fission yeast doing the splits— Microtubule push nucleus from inside, while cell membrane finishes the party. Shout-out @pasteur.fr and #PFAM course for the science vibes! #FluorescenceFriday #Microscopy #CellBiology @pasteuredu.bsky.social
