Halloween 2021
During the group meeting on the last Friday of October, we celebrated Halloween by dressing up as wizards. It was a day of flooding and storm, as evident in this blurred picture below where everybody was trying to hold on the wizard hat against the bluster. Hair was flying wildly too.
Luckily we got a moment of calm amidst the tempest. A non-blurred picture was acquired to commemorate our costumed meeting this year.

Ernest Visits
We are delighted to host Ernest Iu from Department of Cell & Systems Biology, University of Toronto for three days at Hopkins. We learned a lot from his wonderful talk “Motility, Mechanics and Microscopes: Regulation of cell migration by Ca2+ signaling” and learned useful techniques about TFM too. It is such a refreshing pleasure as the school slowly reopens. Thank you for traveling to visit us, Ernest! Thank you Prof. Sergey Plotnikov for sponsoring the trip.
