2:00–2:30 PM (20-minute talk followed by 10-minute Q&A session)
Every day, there are about 2 trillion cell divisions in your body, facilitated by a tiny but mighty molecular machine: the mitotic spindle. Join Harvard scientist Maya Waarts as she walks through what we know about the spindle and how exactly we know it. Is it soft? Is it squishy? Learn about all the science experiments that help answer this question!
