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:
Microtubules (EMTB-3xGFP) and centrosomes (Centrin-GFP)
We have a great line-up for the next Bio Art Mixer this Thursday at 6:30 pm via zoom, featuring Biology's very own Mayra Cadorin Vidal! We have two other fabulous speakers Matej Vakula (PH.D. candidate in electronic Arts at RPI) and Jenifer Wightman (Dept of Crop and Soil Science at Cornell University). This is the second part of the two day symposium in which we will have hosted a total of seven talks by artists and scientists. After these 3 talks, we will follow up with a Q&A.
