This year #ASCB #cellbio2025 was not the same and plagued with organizational problems. Yet it was, as always, a great meeting! I had an awesome time reuniting with people and discovering new science.
See you all next year !

Thank you for coming to our session yesterday!
We had a blast and we hope you enjoyed the talks!
Big thanks to our speakers for showcasing what physical based thinking can bring to biological problems at all scales!
See you all next year πŸ˜‰

My former bench mate @joellemiere.bsky.social from the @fredchanglab.bsky.social giving a killer talk about nuclear size regulation in fission yeast at #ASCB #CellBio2025
Stay tuned for the paper to come soon !
Beautiful experimental data falling on the mathematical model, no fit needed 🀩

Congrats to all involved!
I have seen the story develop during my time in the Chang lab, and it is a real pleasure to see it out.
Looking forward to reading it!

Today was my last class with a group of 1st year students in #Biochem & #Cellbio.
I was returning their graded exams πŸ“œ
Despite the overall poor performance (bad grades) they brought me presents (snacks) at the end of the class because they appreciated my teaching during the last semester πŸ₯²
