Ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I wanted to answer 275 emails per day and argue with administrators. That’s why I chose a career in academia.

This is happening tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing all the #membranes enthusiasts on zoom!

Please take a week off work to fill out all these forms and test all these possible WB conditions before we give you your money back. Signed #whosellsantibodies

This is happening in a few mins! Join us online!

This is happening tomorrow! Join us online 12 pm CET

I will present how we captured vesicle fusion in neurons using optogenetics for timed cryo-ET.

CALLING PHDs AND POSTDOCS! Apply for the 20th FEBS/EMBO summer school on Membranes lipids & proteins in organelle biogenesis! Spend a glorious week with leaders in the field on the beautiful island of Spetses in Greece this May. Registration: spetses2026.sites.uu.nl @embo.org @febspress.bsky.social

From the trafficking side Esther Ocket from the Matthäus lab will talk about her beautiful work on Caveolin function in endosomal trafficking and @janakroll.bsky.social from @mdc-berlin.bsky.social will show some beautiful CLEM of synaptic vesicles 😍 not to be missed!

Join us next Tuesday for the next @dgz.bsky.social workshop on #trafficking and EVs! Spread the word please!

Zotero so far seems much better! I cannot believe I stayed in this toxic relationship so long

Today I broke up with Endnote and it feels liberating! I said „it was you, not me“

Hybrid endosomal coats contain different classes of sorting nexins - The EMBO Journal Endosomes are protein sorting stations, where multiple membrane coats form tubulovesicular carriers exporting proteins to the Golgi, the plasma membrane, or endo-lysosomal compartments. Distinct class...

Retromer recruits distinct sorting nexins SNX3 and SNX-BAR into hybrid endosomal coats to allow for flexible cargo sorting

Cells come in many shapes and sizes, with diverse physiological functions. But how do #organelles and their interaction networks remodel during #differentiation of stem cells into different cell types? Here’s what we discovered about neuronal differentiation: 1/13

New preprint from the lab together with @labvanni.bsky.social. We looked what happens to ER generated free very long chain fatty acids.. VLCFAs are partionig into lipid droplets and are extracted from the hydrophobic core by Fat1.

@hanhtkvu.bsky.social @embl.org & we are looking for a #postdoc to study #regeneration x #autophagy across kingdoms of life. Pls spread the word & get in touch if you are interested www.health-life-sciences.de/opportunitie...

Also I live in Berlin so that may be different 🤣 I generally get angry and grumpy reactions to whatever I order/do/say but I know I do not have to take it personally

Interesting. I must say this is something I have not noticed. I thought Germans rather try to sneak out of the conversation 🤣

Michael‘s lab. I‘ll be retired before any free edit button is added to a social media platform

While it may be raining in London I heard it is ☀️ in Michael lab

Ah I am wondering if it is the Septin scaffold that prevents Clathrin from binding? @stedhammer.bsky.social

New preprint from us and our friends in the Odorizzi lab at CU-Boulder – we find an apparent role for septin cytoskeletal filaments and vesicle transport from the Golgi to the vacuolar lysosome in budding yeast.

🙏 This study was powered by fantastic collaborations — especially with @abelljonny.bsky.social & @joechambers.bsky.social with contribution form @felixmendu.bsky.social @lasergroup.bsky.social @franbottanelli.bsky.social 🔬🧠

Our new paper's out: FidlTrack—structure-aware single-particle tracking benchmarks/boost SPT fidelity

With it we resolve with sub-organelle res. e.g. BACE1 amyloidogenic APP cleavage #Alzheimers, ER exit events, map nanobody binding in realtime in ER/organelles 🔬🧠#SingleMolecule

Last chance to submit your abstract for JCS's 'Imaging Cell Dynamics' meeting, organised by @franbottanelli.bsky.social @guijacquemet.bsky.social @drmichaelway.bsky.social and Giulia Zanetti.

Only a few spots left for this amazing meeting! Just sign up and join us to discuss all #cellbio #imaging things!
