This piece emerged from the EMBO Integrating Cell & Planetary Scales workshop, bringing together an exceptional group of ECRs. I feel fortunate to have met such a kind, motivated community, & privileged to contribute to this shared vision for cell biology in a changing world. doi.org/10.1242/jcs....

Now, @eliottflaum.bsky.social, a postdoc at @embl.org, is giving a talk on her work using #morphodynamics to understand cell form and function #EMBLPhDSymposium2025 @phdsymposium.bsky.social

Our paper is out! Take a look if you’re curious to see how we use expansion microscopy on diatoms ☺️ Very excited to keep using this!!

Centromere evolution isn't a sudden switch! Our study shows centromere transitions are a step-by-step process driven by a combination of drift and selection. Discover how the kinetochore interface shapes this gradual change in our new preprint 🥳 doi.org/10.1101/2025.01.16.633479 🧵(1/8)
