I've really enjoyed following the recent #celldyn2023 meeting run by @J_Cell_Sci but have had to do so on Twitter.

Very quiet here, lots of chat "there". [Same with science strategy and funding discussions].

Maybe I'm not deep enough into this yet but I am just not getting the experience I'd like.

I have a reasonably good experience with Twitter but appreciate that so many do not.

Good chat over on Twitter about this preprint from Manuel Thery, Laurent Blanchoin and colleagues:
"Microtubules under mechanical pressure can breach dense actin networks"
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.15.540482v1

A little cytochalasin promotes ciliogenesis. I wonder if the actin mesh around the centrosome acts to prevent premature axoneme extension. Do the early stages of ciliogenesis provide the microtubule pressure to breach that actin network? Thought provoking work #cilia #cellbiology @cilia

Four good things happened at work today. Almost unheard of.

Two great bits of new data. #cilia #Golgi #ExtracellularMatrix
One modified piece of equipment that means we can do some cool new experiments.
And I got some code to run a mathematical model given to us by a collaborator. New software. Step learning curve.

Worth remembering days like these. They do still happen!
