Bradknam style!
The new meme for all exciting neuronal cell bio results.
Use in a sentence: My axon extension movies are so sick, I am hopping around the lab Bradknam style.

In Pune, India for EMBO Cytoskeleton.
Didnt have sitar performance and Filament cocktail bar in my bingo card but… hey!
Come think of it every conference should feature a music performance by a local act and a bar called filament or tubule!

SPY dyes go up by ~24% on Monday.
Get them now from Cytoskeleton if your stocks getting low.

Driving to summer conferences in the northeast means Jersey City’s legendary WFMU on the car’s terrestrial radio!
Super stoked to reunite with Glen Jones radio program on my way up to FASEB cytoskeleton yesterday. Gang of Four & Frank Sinatra in the same segment is what’s all about!!!

Woah! Sick reconstitution work showing that MAP6d1 recruits tubulin to form B tubules on A tubule templates, and ALSO intra-luminal protofilaments, which apparently are present in neuronal microtubules.
So not only actin inside microtubules, but also additional tubulin protofilaments?!? Wild!

Super exciting talk @ #SeptSRC by Friederike Arlt on septin autoantibodies linked to rare and inexplicable neurological disorder symptoms with cancer history. Possibly generated through immune response to cancer cells. So inspiring and motivating for future of septin use in medicine!

Last day of #SeptSRC begins with Marc Fivaz from reMYND with the most exciting septin advance of the year - a septin targeting compound that reverses Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice and patients
