One of my favourite things to do…whiteboard brain storm. Early conceptualisation of my team’s 2024 paper ….(in Feb 2019 …😆) how it started..how it finished….( article: www.nature.com/articles/s41... ) #microtubules

I’m incredibly fortunate to be working with @joycemeiri.bsky.social who has joined my team following her post doc with the Akhmanova lab. A kindred spirit! Someone who loves #microtubules & #microscopy as much as me. Welcome to #AIBN #UQ Joyce!

I'm thrilled that Ondřej is presenting our findings on electric and electrochemical effects on tubulin at #cytoskeletonclub2026 – stay tuned for the full paper soon!

1/3 What if the tiny vibrations of a single microtubule could generate an electric field strong enough to whisper signals 5 µm across the cytoplasm, effectively acting as a nanoscale antenna? #academicsky #microtubules #philsci

1/3 What if a solitary microtubule, shaking at gigahertz frequencies, could launch an electric pulse that travels 10 µm—enough to coordinate a whole mitotic spindle? #academicsky #microtubules #neuroskyence
