@jessaC A sales rep I was talking to used ‘neat’ that way recently and I had the same reaction!

@pghisbeautiful We spent a while looking at those bike pics this morning, she was excited that you saw it and that he is visiting Pgh

@pghisbeautiful https://t.co/UXzINkT47r these are some of her favorite books recently, when we go ‘to the city’ (usually Harvard Sq) she is always on a lookout for Grumpy Toad and his motorcycle

@pghisbeautiful Hate to see her go but love to watch her leave

@danielkbronder @kochinstitute Thank you! Very excited to have the opportunity to share our work and looking forward to seeing where it leads!

@foodskop One of the last lessons from my PI before she passed away is that family is the only non-negotiable thing. That is important as I now sort out what comes next.

@timisstuck I was told yes when this came up for me

@pghisbeautiful Not a neighborhood, but Beaver

@kristinknouse Me too!

A true science rockstar who could go by one name, we will miss her deeply but Angelika’s legacy will live on.

[Koch Institute at MIT @kochinstitute]

With great sadness we share the passing of Angelika Amon, a pioneer in cell biology who brought curiosity and passion to everything she did. Her contributions as a scientist, teacher, mentor, and friend will be missed, but her legacy will endure.

[American Society for Cell Biology @ASCBiology]

This morning, ASCB and the entire cell biology community mourns the loss of Angelika Amon was a long time ASCB member, a Council member, and dedicated to the Society, who pushed us to think carefully about what we should be doing. A more thorough tribute is forthcoming

[Lauren Zasadil @LZasadil]

Biology lost a true giant today. We will all feel the loss of Angelika for a long time, but her impact will never fade. I’m grateful to have known her and had her as my postdoc mentor.

I’m getting strong #developmentalbiology and tissue morphogenesis vibes from this corn #devbio #cells

@pghisbeautiful Do they sell Smiley masks?

@ChriZieri @p53p21rb @JSheltzer @houndcl @cispt2 Yep that’s what preceded my work and started our studies! But my focus on the effects of low nM is due to the measurements in patient samples and matching treatment conditions in culture

@p53p21rb @JSheltzer @houndcl @cispt2 https://t.co/rIdNEJfBKF kicked off my work on this https://t.co/hMzG9bf32m https://t.co/FboOAmVF2j

@JSheltzer @houndcl @p53p21rb @cispt2 Death is presumably due to the effects from missegregation, and these concentrations matched up with what we measured from breast cancer patients (intercellular in culture and intratumoral)

@JSheltzer @houndcl @p53p21rb @cispt2 Hello! What we found was that in low [taxol] (typically up to 50 nM depending on the cell line) cells to not have the mitotic arrest, they struggle through mitosis and missegregate chromosomes. Death happened after several days
