Isn’t that borderline unbelievable?!? 20 students, ~14 TAs and lecturers 🗓️ June 4-18 2026 ✍️ Jan 15 2026 ✍️ 🔁 pls!! www.janelia.org/you-janelia/...
- Reposted by Alex BissonAnother #notTHECover unfortunately. But this gorgeous, Tron-like vibe, drawn by the amazing @munafomarzia.bsky.social for our recent #ExM work with @gautamdey.bsky.social & @centriolelab.bsky.social will still be printed out in the lab. Read here: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
- I am beyond excited to announce that the Bisson Lab has a new home!!! Starting January 2026, I will join the Biology Department at Indiana University Bloomington as Associate Professor with tenure. I am actively recruiting scientists across all levels. More in our website: bissonlab.com/join [1/4]
- We’ll continue to focus on archaeal cell mechanobiology and tool-building to study microbial life. I am deeply grateful to everyone at IU-Bio. It is a privilege to join a department with a foundational legacy in microbiology, shaped by figures such as Salvador Luria and Giuseppe Bertani [2/4]
- I am (months) late, but you HAVE TO read @huepfkiesel.bsky.social (there is an update version). How can ParM "turned MreB” in cyanos? shorturl.at/JXMjy This will become a classic. Such a clear example of homology =/= function. We need more studies to collect larger sample sizes to test it.

- This is one of my fav bac cell div papers. It's remarkable how much we've learned about cytokinesis in the past decade, and how much we still don't know. This paper harmonizes many of the disagreements in the field, like what limits construction rates (1/4)

- We all need both government and each other to survive in society. Let's contribite to support those who need.

- Reposted by Alex BissonExcited to share the lab's 1rst preprint! Rapid high-res immunofluorescence is now possible in cultured & environmental diatoms thanks to 4-fold expansion microscopy. A step-change for comparative cell biology in one of the most important phytoplankton groups on the planet 🥳 tinyurl.com/m9s5su7s 1/2
- The best post-COVID meeting I've attended. Each talk was a "wait, what?" moment. It is beautiful to see how technology and the expansion of different subfields have pushed prokaryotic cell biology from a model organism-focused enterprise to one that is question- and discovery-driven.

- What it has become a classic review published every ~5y, Polschroder (UPenn) and Schulze (RIT) summarize the Mol-Cell Bio technical advances for Haloferax volcanii , the "E. coli" of the archaeal models. Proud of our community progress given the genome was published only 15y ago! asm.social/2qE

- well, that's what you get by trying to download all metadata from ScienceDirect. Now my IP is blocked there 🫣
- Well well well… On top of everything, we have to play the game “Will my $10k quote come out as $10k or $20k?”
