My first paper as first author is officially out in @pnas.org 🎉

Huge thanks to the cardiologists who brought clinical reality to the EM images, and to everyone who survived this PhD journey with me. Many sections, many cristae, many coffees later… we made it ☕️🫀

How are mitochondrial nucleoids trafficked? Mitochondria harbor their own DNA (mtDNA), which codifies essential proteins of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system and locally feeds them to their surrounding inner mitochondrial membrane (...

I'm so happy to share our work discussing nucleoid trafficking inside the mitochondrion and mitochondrial network, led by the amazing @jmacuada.bsky.social

Are you curious about how motile our mitochondrial genomes are 🧬? Live-cell nucleoid data inspired us to discuss exciting ideas from the field with amazing @isimolinar.bsky.social and Verónica Eisner in our new opinion at TCB 🤩! Here is a free-access link authors.elsevier.com/c/1keJq3QxxS....

I'm actually doing it! But I wanted to read some real experiences before devoting myself to that enterprise 😅

I don't think it is the same unless you keep strict control of the tags. That could be an option 🤔

Does someone use the Zettelkasten method to take notes about papers? I'm still debating with myself if it is useful at all 😅

I tried to implement slack in my lab (I'm a PhD student) and failed miserably 😅

Literature about cristae quality control? It's my new hyperfocus (alongside Achilles and Patroclus; I have just finished reading The Song of Achilles)
