Happy to share the first story from my postdoc in @schnittger-lab.bsky.social
We studied TITAN9, a Csm1-like protein in Arabidopsis.
Even though I now work with soil, chromosome segregation and meiosis still have a special place in my heart.

Fluorescent fireworks for #FluorescentFriday! 🎆✨
My Arabidopsis protein of interest (green) cozying up to tubulin (magenta) in a tobacco leaf cell.
Science or art? Both!
Heterologous systems make tough-to-study proteins (looking at you, #meiosis4eva) shine!
