So my niece was showing me her drawings over Whatsapp and I requested her to draw 'A scientist.' So delighted to see what she drew! #WomenInSTEM Voices of Indian Academia #AcademicChatter

Excited to share that our paper is now online on FEBS Letters!! Its been a great ride finding the what, how, where of Caveolin1 phosphorylation - all the more exciting for being exacting! I think I can now take a nap.. Or, can I? 😄

@natashabuwa’s work looking at the FAK-caveolin1 crosstalk downstream of adhesion and its regulation by changing matrix stiffness is finally out in print. Congratulations again Natasha. Onwards to your thesis and more. IISER Pune ICMR DBT/WT India Alliance doi.org/10.1002/1873-3…

This is a must-read for those who write letters of reference for others. We all hold gender stereotypes (hey, we're humans in patriarchal societies), let's reflect and compensate! #8M2021

Our lab is looking for motivated and talented Research Technicians to work on projects profiling T cells and their specificities in Lupus and Type 1 Diabetes! Here is the link: cfopitt.taleo.net/careersection/…

Excited to share our recent work on reconstituting membrane contact sites between ER mimicking-supported bilayers & lipid droplets! We discovered how LD-ER contacts respond to animal metabolic state and immune activation. Out now on #biorxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations Dr. Natasha Buwa, on successfully defending your thesis today. The lab is very proud of everything you have accomplished and how you have done it. Good luck with everything going forward. Cheers and enjoy the ride.

"During my school days, my grandfather would often hand me the inserts from his medications and ask me to explain how the drugs worked." says Dr. Keerthi Harikrishnan, a WoSA independent scientist IISER Pune. Read her interview: scicomm.iiserkol.ac.in/docs/1/pages/k… #WIISER #biology #scicomm

Keerthi Harikrishnan, PhD Natasha Buwa Thank you so much for telling us your science story!

Sharing an elegant summary by Natasha Buwa using BioRender capturing the mechanosensitive membrane components for an upcoming book chapter looking at cellular mechanosensing in context of cell migration. Was a very interesting chapter to write with Natasha.

Wonderful to have had a chance to contribute to this book. It’s always great when you have enjoyed reading the rest of the book you have contributed too. Wouldn’t have been possible without all the diligent work by Natasha Buwa. Her last writing from the lab as a graduate student

Excited for our latest work showing membrane tethering by a coiled-coil protein Atg23! That’s two in a week for Ragusa Lab! cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Outstanding science by the students in the UMass Chan Medical School Summer Undergraduate Research Program, I was blown away by their fantastic posters and presentations! My lab and I are especially proud of Sarah Arrieta (right front) from UMBC, who took 2nd place in the poster competition!💕

Things I make at work 🤩☺️. I feel so happy to go to work and have the opportunity to create things. Great feeling when people are supportive around you. * Words by Haley Barlow, PhD 👇👇👇

Yesterday, we celebrated #ALSMNDWithoutBorders by attending a Worcester Red Sox baseball game ⚾ bonus, it was Woof Woof Wednesday, so one of the BMB dogs made an appearance! Natasha Buwa Haley Barlow, PhD Leonora Martínez Nuñez, PhD Ivano Mocavini

A new research study in Science Advances links a brain region with stress and anxiety coping mechanisms like sugar consumption! Thanks to the authors for allowing me to contribute to their groundbreaking research with figure assembly and visuals. I learned so much 🐁🧠🔬
