Our visas are tied to our jobs, and we endure a seemingly endless wait for our green cards. There is no room to just "mess around and find out." We must remain determined, focused, and hardworking at all times. Every day brings a sense of urgency and a lack of peace of mind.

Being #kind with your students doesn't mean you should let them do whatever they want. It means guiding them through their work with passion, constructive comments and focusing on their growth and personal development! PhD Voice - Independently Run PostdocVoice #AcademicTwitter

New Nature Cell Biology paper by Angelika Rambold & lab. 🥳 Their imaging method “OrgaPlexing” illuminates how #macrophages organize their intracellular structures during infections. The team can map the interactions between up to six key organelles. 😲 More: ie-freiburg.mpg.de/5851768/news_p…

Exciting new data from our lab revealing how chromatin domains interact with nucleoli and that the nucleolus plays a direct role in forming repressive chromatin states, extending beyond its known function as a scaffold for chromatin positioning in nuclei biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now online! A non-canonical role for a small nucleolar RNA in ribosome biogenesis and senescence dlvr.it/T9L5V7

Curious to know what people think about the concept of ENT (Epithelial-to-Neuronal Transition) as a parallel to EMT (Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition) in tumorigenesis? See our review with Griffin Hartmann in the lab: tinyurl.com/2x8xtw5j

Much looking forward to give the keynote. The MPI of Immunobiology & Epigenetics at Freiburg is a hotspot for epigenetics.

RNA can serve as scaffold for the organization of cellular organelles! Here RNA scaffolds the Golgi ribbon by forming condensates with the RNA-binding protein GM130. Interesting work by Yijun Zhang & Joachim Seemann. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Mike Lanz's latest paper from our group on what happens when cells get too big just came out in NSMB. Read all about it at the link below. Diluting the genome produces a response similar to limiting an essential nutrient nature.com/articles/s4159…

💫NEW: Zimmermann et al. present OrgaPlexing, an imaging pipeline mapping metabolic #organelles & their interactions. They find changes in mitochondria, ER, peroxisome and lipid droplet dynamics that impact macrophage inflammatory lipid mediator synthesis. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Chromatin scientists, want to reorganize genomic loci as you wish? Out today in Cell--We made a tool that uses surface tension of engineered condensates to reposition DNA loci across microns of space in living cells in just a few minutes: VECTOR cell.com/cell/abstract/…

We were certainly surprised to find that in human #placental cells the TF #TFEB does NOT control #lysosome gene expr. but instead regulates the expr. of Syncytins to control cell-cell fusion! Excited to see my work now (officially) published Genes & Development 👉m.genesdev.cshlp.org/content/early/…

Out in nature today! We report that a CDK5-cyclin B1 complex maintains proper cell division. We discovered that CDK5, a long regarded non-cell cycle CDK functioning only in neurons, yet overexpressed in many cancers, does regulate mitosis!  Link: nature.com/articles/s4158…
