Regulated changes in material properties underlie centrosome disassembly during mitotic exit https://t.co/AOikykUWlz

It was an honor to speak at @ChromoPalooza! In case you missed my talk: we can probe the material properties of centrosomes (green) using optically-induced flows. Fantastic collaboration with @KreysingLab.

@ManuelTHERY Here are some of the holy texts:
1. Brangwynne et al. 2009 Science (the old testament)
2. Li . . . Rosen 2012 Nature (the new testament)
3. Feric . . . Brangwynne 2016 Cell

Those papers lay down the main principles behind biological phase separation.

@PavelTomancak where can I find a comprehensive guide for writing macros in FIJI?

@JRafflab @cell_viability @caballe_anna How fast can it cool? What's the temperature range?

[Reviewer Number 3 @thirdreviewer]

be honest, sometimes i make your paper AWESOME

[WoodruffLab @JWoodruffLab]

@smburgessucd I'd recommend getting a plan Apo objective. You get flat field illumination and correct for chromatic abberrations. The best "bang for your buck" camera is definitely a sCMOS. The Prime 95B is great. The Andor Zyla is also a good choice.

Finally it's out! A great combination of EM and light microscopy showing that centrosomes concentrate soluble tubulin.

[Hyman Lab @HymanLab]

See our new preprint on tubulin concentration at c.elegans centrosomes. A potential nucleation mechanism

@mbeisen Dishoom. Best Indian food in Europe IMO

[WoodruffLab @JWoodruffLab]

Good one. You can fit anything with enough variables. 95 CI all the way!

@MolBiophysUTSW I think we should have a contest to design a new logo. Thoughts??

@MolBiophysUTSW Welcome to the scene!

The Biophysics Department at UT Southwestern is now on Twitter!

[MolBiophysUTSW @MolBiophysUTSW]

Hello, world. The Molecular Biophysics graduate program at UT Southwestern is on twitter. 😎

[WoodruffLab @JWoodruffLab]

Are you a first year student in @MolBiophysUTSW and wondering where to rotate? Check out https://t.co/aKxIfHO5nN. We study organelle assembly and maintenance in ageing eggs.

I'm hearing lots of great things about a certain colleague 🙂. @florianjug should tell everyone to do their post-doc at UT Southwestern!

[Florian Jug @florianjug]

Talk by @RetoPaul at #LSFM18 was sooo amazing! In my point of view the most innovative optics contribution we saw so far. If this doesn’t make a splash... what would?

[WoodruffLab @JWoodruffLab]

@IGCcentrioles All that fresh fish, and people still go for the dried bacalhau! It boggles my mind!
