Engineer pretending to be a biologist | PhD Candidate | making photosynthetic mammalian cells | posting through the PhD
Someone pinch me because I can’t believe Martin Chalfie came to my poster at #ASCB2024 #CellBio2024 PhD Bucket List Item No.662: chat about my project with a Nobel Laureate ✅

Come by to poster B662 tomorrow at #cellBio2024 & check out the wacky stuff we’re up to trying to get mammalian cells to photosynthesize! 🧪⚡️
Join @postingThruPhD at poster No. B662 to see how @UTSWMedCenter engineers are developing animal cells that can photosynthesize! After, come meet our staff, students, and researchers at exhibitor booth 712! #cellbio2024 @ASCBiology
Excited to share the latest work from postdocs @turiyaaa and Zack! We thought about how multinucleate cells are able to maintain N:C ratio, and found a condensate rheostat that regulates translation of cell cycle + growth mRNAs.
Condensates act as translation hubs to coordinate multinucleate cell growth biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_cellbio
PhD Bucket List Item No. 283: meet a sci twitter (🦋?) celeb IRL ✅ Thanks @PracheeAC for sharing insights on curiosity driven science @ArcadiaScience at #cellBio2024!!

PhD Bucket List Item No. 3034: Meet someone from @nightsciencepod IRL ✅ Thanks @ManuPra18599785 for the great feedback! Thanks @IGCcentrioles @GladfelterLab @SamReckPeterson for organizing such an amazing session & opportunity to share our work!

Today at #CellBio24 I'll be discussing this work during the"Quantitative Biology in Emerging Model Systems" subgroup! 5:15pm in Ballroom 20A!
🧵 New from @arcadiascience! We used Chlamydomonas mutants to model specific types of spermatogenic failure and found drugs can rescue swimming behavior in mutation-specific ways. Full pub: research.arcadiascience.com/pub/result-chl… [1/8]
We're having an incredible time #CellBio2024! Don't miss out on this chance to explore the groundbreaking research and training programs at @UTSWMedCenter. Colleen and I are eager to welcome you to our booth and walk you through the different programs. @ASCBiology
Please consider coming to the membrane contact sites session at #cellbio2024 room 29C at 5pm tomorrow 12/16! Lots of great talks planned!
Hear from @UTSWMedCenter researcher Holly Merta at session ‘Cell Biology of Organelles – The Role of Membrane Contact Sites in Organelle Biogenesis and Dynamics.’ After the talk, come visit our staff, researchers, and students at Exhibitor Booth 712! #cellbio2024 @ASCBiology
Really excited to be at #ASCB2024! Please come visit my poster on "Connecting cell surface molecular topography to cell adhesion using microbubble force manipulation" on Monday, Dec 16 at 1:30 PM (Board number: B244, Poster P1933).
Survived my first ever conference talk at #ASCB #CellBio2024!! Thanks @UTSWScience for the opportunity to travel out to San Diego! Thanks @joshuagruber for the support and for bearing with the corny jokes 🫡


Don’t miss @postingThruPhD at #cellbio2024 – join us for the Harnessing Cell Biology to Address Climate Change session. And make sure to visit UT Southwestern at Booth 712! @ASCBiology
Gotta hand it to #drosophila researchers—y’all never miss when naming things 🫡

1st committee meeting in T-1.5h Adding meme slides cause u can’t stress failing as a scientist if ur stressed about not being funny 🫡


*looking out the window after making plates for next week* We saved the daylight… but at what cost 🥲
