Advice for new PhD students: choose a mentor who is committed to your training, not just your project. The most important product of your PhD - even more important than the science - is you, a newly trained scientist.

🧵 What if one reason fertility declines with age isn’t just genetic-but mechanical?
Thrilled to share our new paper in @NatureCellBio:
Elevated contractility drives implantation failure in mouse embryos from aged females… here’s what we found 👇

#Septin as an environment-sensing system reads #Tcell deformations (#proprioceptor, #mechanosensor) caused by the ECM. In response, it condenses non-contractile, non-stretchable cortical rings to guide T cell's #amoeboid peristalsis in 3D ECM.
