In January 2023, I'll be moving to @UChicago to start a lab in the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy @ScienceLife 🥳

I'm SO SO thrilled to join OBA's amazing comparative biomechanics group and to be part of the vibrant biophysics & evolution communities in Chicago‼️🎉

[PRX Life @PRX_Life]

Using a microfluidic device to explore bacterial movement across a range of spatially structured environments, study finds that run-and-tumble and hop-and-trap are not distinct locomotive modes but are rather endpoints of a continuous mobility spectrum.

A study of bacterial movement across a range of both unconfined and highly confined environments establishes a quantitative link between behavioral rules and environmental context and reveals how #EColi can navigate complex habitats.

I'm thrilled to announce that I will be joining Tufts Mechanical Engineering @TuftsEngineer in January 2026!! 🐘🐘🐘

[NSF-Simons NITMB @NITMB_Chicago]

This week’s Research-In-Progress meeting features Haibei Zhang, PhD Student in the @jasnir_ Lab and Munro Lab at @UChicago!

Research-In-Progress is a venue for the NITMB community to discuss planned or in-progress work

The third annual South Side Science Festival is happening tomorrow @UChicago ! If you're around, come check out our fun hands-on rheology demo in the Center for Living Systems area.

[Noah P Mitchell @Noah_P_Mitchell]

UChicago Center for Living Systems invites applications for the CLS Postdoctoral Fellowship for brilliant early-career researchers in Physics or related fields.

@tapomoy89 @biorxiv_biophys Thanks so much Tapa!!

[Jasmine Nirody @jasnir_]

@TheSquishyLab @biorxiv_biophys @HungtangK Thank you so much Sujit!!

[Julia Kreiner @jmkreiner]

The University of Chicago has two faculty searches that should interest evolutionary biologists/geneticists. A fantastic university with lots of strong colleagues across departments.

Get in touch if you have any questions!

Even a fungus has to move around sometimes. Research by @Luisjagago and @jasnir_ looks at how different movement patterns of zoosporic fungi are affected by their cellular structures https://t.co/sN5JdCI57a

[Liat Shenhav @LiatShenhav]

🧵 Exciting news! Our paper, "Microbial colonization programs are structured by breastfeeding and guide healthy respiratory development," is out today in @CellCellPress ! 🎉 Amazing collaboration with @MeghanAzad and @CHILDSTUDY

[Luis Javier Galindo @Luisjagago]

Our study on fungal zoospores swimming pattern is out in @CurrentBiology! This study came from one simple question:
Do all chytrid zoospores have the same swimming behavior?
(No, they don’t!)

This week, @jasnir_ shares how studying snake movements inspired her to become an organismal and integrative #biologist at the @UChicagoPSD rather than pursuing a career as a medical doctor. https://t.co/QtijO6UpMM
