A cool new study from Wenyi Feng’s lab at SUNY Upstate at Cell Reports that we got to help out with. You can check it out here.

Our new study at Current Biology is online! Lindsay Rathbun and Abrar Aljiboury identified that in the zebrafish embryo mitotic centrosomes scale with cell size and are asymmetric in size! We had a great collaboration with the Bembenek Lab at Univ of Michigan along with his student Bai to also examine that this phenomenon is consistent in C. elegans. We had additional great contributions from undergrads to postbacs Nicole Hall and Julie Manikas. Finally we wouldn’t have been able to do any of it if the Amack Lab at SUNY Upstate didn’t introduce us to zebrafish and how awesome they are!
Check out the sweet video of zebrafish embryonic centrosomes:

I gave a virtual tenure talk last Thursday! Here’s me hanging with my husband last Thursday afternoon when it was done. Wish me luck!

A nice surprise birthday celebration from the lab! Thank you everyone! I wouldn’t love this job so much if it wasn’t for everyone in the lab.
