For real. My sister grabbed this photo of me while I was describing intracellular transport to her friends at Universal. Always ready to talk about what’s happening in cells.

Federal Science Workforce Declines Sharply Under Trump The last year was marked by turmoil at science agencies and the administration’s stated desire to shrink the federal workforce.

Federal science workforce in 2025:

NSF down over 30%
USGS, NOAA, and NIH down 20%
DOE down 17%
NIST down 15%
NASA down 12%

By comparison, the total federal civilian workforce was down approximately 10% last year.

Our second paper of the year is online at @pnas.org. Led by recently graduated PhD student Anjali Pandey, we describe how seemingly symmetric neuronal responses can be mediated by underlying asymmetric molecular mechanisms. Link to longer preprint post below.

The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules The rewrite was done to speed up the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors. Critics warn it could compromise safety and public trust.

How does the axonal sub-membrane periodic cytoskeleton develop? Nick & Rohan from our lab found that building blocks are delivered in packets and co-assemble locally with actin for final structure. Fun collaboration with imaging Guru @christlet.bsky.social and his team.

I’m so excited to be at #CellBio2025 with my trainees! Elizabeth (#259) and Olivia (#251) have posters in Sunday’s session. Please stop by to hear about the work we are starting up in the lab looking at Rap1 GTPase signaling in epithelial migration in human carcinoma cells and in Drosophila embryos.

Excited to share our latest work with @simonbullock11.bsky.social! We looked at how diverse mRNAs get selected for subcellular localization and it turns out that a single protein can recognize different RNA elements using shared features that weren’t apparent before.
