The EMBO workshop on ESCRT proteins is up and running at Caux Palace. The view from the hotel room to Lac Leman is rather amazing!

Very cool talk today at #CellBio2023 by Ismail Abdus-Saboor about sensation of gentle touches. I recommend to check his papers, I learned so much about the importance of touches, why we want and need to be touched and what happens when we are touched.

By a large margin the most popular session at the #cellbio2023 ! A bigger lecture hall next time please!

Beautiful talk by Juanma at #cellbio2023 about actin assembly and contraction on blebbing cells! Everyone interested should check out his preprint about the topic. Cool movies and a theory : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Taking notes in an old-fashioned way seems more difficult this year at the #cellbio2023 😂

On my way to #cellbio2023

Looking forward to meeting you all who are coming too! I have a poster on Sunday, and there are multiple other posters from Roux lab and Kaksonen and on show too!
