Smashing to introduce the Tom Duke Prize lecture at UCL to its 2024 recipient Julia Yeomans

Nascent wasp nest in shed. Fascinating.

Well, I’m excited…

Nature trail, University of Toronto-Mississauga. Work, work, work…

We have 3 openings for ambitious postdocs or PhD students in our #CDlab - for exciting single-molecule biophysics research on nuclear pores, peroxisomes, or archaeal divisomes. Check it out and apply: ceesdekkerlab.nl/come-join-us/ RT=nice!

The Physics of Life research community committee circulated their first newsletter of 2025 amongst the community members. Check it out 👇 nwobiophysics.nl/newsletters Contributions by @bpsiyork.bsky.social and Ivana Lin (UTwente). Newsitems to contribute for future editions? Let us know!

I love this story. Though I note that the 17 hr journey back was shorter than the York-Naples train journey a couple of summers back with the missus. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

LA memories #USBPS. Thanks @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social for a super meeting!

Having super fun at US BPS in LA @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social Come to my emerging tech talk 7.50pm this eve to find out about awesome optical/magnetic tweezers with fluorescence we’ve built to drill down into single molecule DNA structural dynamics! @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social

Finally got an award from the ERC… Easingwold Running Club, that is😉

This is where I live

Super that York could host old Oxford chum Mark Howarth, expounding brilliant SpyCatcher applications; really innovative ways of seeing whole field of Engineering Biology through the lens of the interface between the physical and life sciences - UK has strength in depth @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social

Super inaugural UK Condensates network meet last week in Durham. Brimming with passion. This is going to be inclusive, innovative and a must for #LLPS community. Subscribe to the mailing list and help to shape it www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.e... @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social @jrkumita.bsky.social
