1/6 Extremely happy to share my PhD work is out on bioRxiv! We discovered that microtubules deform mitotic centrosomes. When we removed them, the SPD-5 scaffold became denser but didn't lose material. This suggests it's an elastically deformable solid! This only happens in mitosis.

Pleased to share my new review:

Ovulation: A cellular symphony in three movements πŸ’₯πŸ₯š

Ovulation is more than egg releaseβ€”it's a tightly regulated, tissue-scale process. Here, I present a temporal framework structured as a symphony performed by the cells of the follicle.
