We had a great time traveling to Rochester (University of Rochester) where we attended a micro symposium with the Bergstralh lab. It was great hearing about everyone's science, eating delicious donuts from Glazed and Confused, and Ramen at Butapub!
A sweet post from the Bergstralh Lab and also evidence of the delicious donuts!
Erica Colicino and Lindsay Rathbun (Hehnly Lab Graduate students) did a great job at their posters this year! Presenting on the role of Gravin and PLK1 in centrosome function (Erica) and Spindle and cleavage furrow positioning during embryonic patterning (Lindsay).

And we found a delicious speakeasy!
We got to see some old friends (Hui-Fang Hung).
And great talks by our new faculty member Dr. Jessica Henty-Ridilla!
Paul Lovell recently presented his poster with Alice Marie Garrastegui, both students from Syracuse University. Paul is a senior and has been in our lab for the past two years studying the role of supernumerary centrosomes in Breast cancer. We will miss him, but we are all excited for him to start graduate school at University of Nebraska next fall. Congrats Paul!

Lindsay Rathbun and Erica Colicino did a great job this year presenting their work at ASCB in San Francisco! Erica talked about her study on the spatial and temporal regulation of the mitotic kinase Plk1 and Lindsay presented her work on the role of division orientation during 3D expansion and embryonic patterning.
Lindsay Rathbun presenting her talk titled "The role of division orientation in tissue patterning". This is a collaborative project between our lab (Hehnly Lab) and the Amack Lab at SUNY Upstate.
Erica Colicino presenting her poster titled "Plk1 spatial synchronization and activity during mitosis." This is a collaborative project between our lab (Hehnly Lab) and Leszek Kotula's laboratory at SUNY Upstate Medical University.
