A new study from our group, led by Iris Eisermann, of the septin interactome during appressorium development, revealing many new interactors and significantly widening the biological function of septins in fungal pathogenesis. 👇

Really grateful to all co-authors who made this possible 🙏

Happy to hear any thoughts or feedback! 🌱🍄
1 out of every 50 people in the U.S. attended a No Kings protest
Consider this: In a nation with a population approaching 349 million, the participation of 8 million people means that more than one of every 50 U.S. residents joined a No Kings rally.
Stat seen on @usatoday.com
POV: You made history by joining the LARGEST protest in United States history! #NoKings
Use the energy’s from today’s historic day to meet your neighbors (if safe) and start a group chat on Signal. The most important resistance work is hyper localized 🤝
#WeSayNoKings
No ICE.
No war.
No Kings. #nokings

Atlanta is showing up to say no ICE, no war, No Kings. #NoKings
NEW YORK CITY
#NoKings
Hard to convey the size of the crowd at Seattle #NoKings - there are thousands more behind me.
#NoKings Boston where thousands came to say no to Trump and a second time no to monarchy! Let’s go!
No Kings march happening now in NYC drawing an estimated 100,000 people, completely flooding 7th Avenue.
Comment from march lead Jay Walker of Rise & Resist and Murad Awadaweh of @thenyic.bsky.social, who says folks should go to nyc.me/newyorkforall to help protect immigrant NYers.
HAPPENING NOW: ❌👑 Thousands of people in DC are marching to Fort McNair where Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, and other leaders of this regime are living #NoKings #NoKingsDC
Happy and honored to be part of JCB's newest editorial board additions. Looking forward to new and exciting cell biology!
Our programme for May 7th (Manchester and online) is now live - in-person registration open until April 21st! Lots of great speakers including @mcmomany.bsky.social @aoifeodriscoll.bsky.social @normanvanrhijn.bsky.social @jon-otter.bsky.social www.fungalamr.org/post/f1amr-s...
Our military is fighting a war Americans don't want, secret police are kidnapping and killing our neighbors, and the regime is trying to suppress the vote in the midterms.
Silence isn't an option. Join us on Saturday to make No Kings Day big, loud, and inescapable: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
What an honor and privilege to organize #fungal26 with the one and only Meritxell Riquelme! Thank you fungal community and @genetics-gsa.bsky.social for making this such a great meeting !
#Fungal26. Asilomar sunset.
New Dispatch article on the multitude of fungal symbionts now being reported in lichens, led by @puginiercamille.bsky.social

Asilomar will also be a great time to catch up with international colleagues and network.
Do you have any group openings? Let us know and we can add to our 'vacancies' page ahead of the conference:

With just two weeks to go until the 33rd Fungal Genetics Conference at Asilomar starts, we're happy to reveal the programme for Asperfest, running 16th-17th March:
aspgrpc.com/asperfest/
Will we see you at Asperfest and/or FGC?
I am finally getting around to discussing our preprint "Septins mediate cell-cycle-dependent exclusion of Cdc42 GAP Rga4 from growth sites in fission yeast" by a very talented grad student Justin McDuffie in the Das lab. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/
Thrilled that work from collaborative efforts by the @dbensasson.bsky.social & @mcmomany.bsky.social labs has been accepted by G3 and is available to read now! Population geneticists beware - low-level contamination has greater impact on analyses than you might expect. doi.org/10.1093/g3jo...
My laboratory (www.spiliotislab.org) at University of Virginia is hiring a new Lab Specialist.
Looking for candidates with experience in cell & molecular biology, biochemistry, and/or lab management.
Join us in scenic Charlottesville, Virginia!

Wolf moon, first full moon of 2026.
Happy New Year’s Eve! Took this last night with my new telescope. Coolest Christmas gift ever.
Momany Lab Holiday lunch outing. Bet you can guess which university we are from.
Get ready for a feast of fungal biology at the GRC CMFB conference in Holderness, NH next year. @mrccmm.bsky.social @youngecmm.bsky.social @ishamycology.bsky.social @youngisham.bsky.social @britmycolsoc.org.uk @elainebignell.bsky.social
Exciting news! I have two positions open in my lab at the UoManchester: one PDRA and one Research Tech.
Join our team to study evolutionary mycology and help us understand antifungal resistance in fungal pathogens. A fantastic opportunity to join the brilliant Manchester Fungal Infection Group!
The details and deadlines for the 33rd edition of Fungal Genetics Conference are available! #Fungal26 @Geneticsgsa. Join us! And if you are a #blaster, come to #Magnafest organised by @Frank_Menke @elyogarcia and myself! Come and join us! 🧬🔬🌾🍄
There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings
