Funny thing about science is that If you ignore the existing literature or never bother to read it every single one of your findings is a fantastic novel breakthrough!

The Liao lab is looking for a postdoc/research scientist! Areas: Cytoskeleton, biophysics, or related. $$ with exciting projects, supportive environment. Boston beckon! Please, retweet! jobrxiv.org/job/northeaste…

Amazing Seminar alert🥳! This fall we organize an amazing meeting on cytoskeleton as an active material in the beautiful location of Bad Honnef. We have 28 outstanding speakers (check here: we-heraeus-stiftung.de/veranstaltunge…), and 80 slots for participants. Please retweet 😎.

I had mixed research experiences as an undergraduate and was unsure about research. I decided to give it a shot as a postbac, & it was transformative. I used those experiences to inform the postbac program in the laboratory, now soliciting applications.
