Our lab studies how cells move and become polarized. In C. elegans embryos we investigate how branched actin creates force for cell & membrane movement.

I still remember her Developmental Biology lectures: helped me choose my research field. Inspiring scientist Mary-Lou Pardue. And one of the few women faculty then at MIT.
Huge loss for science. RIP Mary-Lou Pardue, one of my heroes. Many groundbreaking contributions including:
𧬠in situ hybridization
πͺ° Drosophila uses retrotransposons instead of telomerase to cap chromosomes
β spearheaded fight against discrimination of women faculty at MIT
Thanks Ahna Skop for sharing: Link to the late great Bill Wood singing about science. Amazing scientist, and gifted musician. The Rime of the Ancient Worm Picker at minute 32.
Bill Wood died last night [May 9, 2024]. Among many achievements, he edited the first worm book (1988), my constant companion in grad school (the Hengartner Lab did a chapter/week for journal club, a valuable crash course in the C. elegans system) and the foundation for WormBook.

excellent advice for junior (and senior) microscopists out there!! so many of my research pursuits started out as a βsideβ observation during an imaging session. thereβs so much biology waiting to be discovered if we pay close enough attention π
Thank you to the coolest @HarmitMalik and @Barr_lab for their vision and hard work in bringing this conference together! What an incredible five days of #TAGC24!
