Very excited to share our new preprint @WelburnLab @dynamicMT and the first of my PhD studies. We show that the gigantic, full-length human CENP-E motor is processive in vitro!

@mhardysport Slow progress? We’ve won a trophy, reached another cup final and qualified for the champions league twice in that time

3 weeks tomorrow I’ll be taking on the Great North Run (my 1st half-marathon). I’ve racked up 450 km in my training over the past 6 months and I’m aiming to raise £500 for Cancer Research UK. Any donations would go a long way for this great cause!

Excited to announce our @JPLab_ new preprint - New mechanistic insight into the centromere localisation of CPC: ‘inner’ or ‘Kinetochore-proximal’? Survivin matters! Many thanks @LensSusanne lab and @RappsilberLab for the great collaboration!@jp_arulanandam https://t.co/07d5zNqTJ7

Worked on the style sheets for the cytoskeleton today--fun to see all the new information that is available. If I haven't forgotten anything, I should be able to start designing the full picture tomorrow!

Last night hurts. It’ll hurt for a long time. But we’ve come so far and broken down so many barriers that this is not the end. We win together, lose together and will regroup together for the World Cup. Thanks for all your support this summer.

The kinetochore issue of Essays in Biochem is out! Lots of great reviews, including one from my student @giselacairobaza. And, my oocyte image taken while on sabbatical with @KASchindler27 was chosen for the cover! https://t.co/C1YdD9gJ29

@SitoPage @nature Congrats Sito!

If private schools didn't confer unfair advantage, nobody would pay for them.

Vimentin does some pretty interesting things during mitosis (in some cell types). Lattice light-sheet movie. Vim = orange, MTs = blue. #notjustcortical

We thank the reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions, which helped to improve the paper. Hopefully our work will spark further interest in Kif14 and the other midbody kinesins.
