Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

With this regime anything is possible…

The sun behind the mountains, their shadows on the clouds, their reflections on the lake

Cool work by Satyam and Subhasis! They show how to purify native-like TDP-43 while respecting all the safety rules that could limit the kind of instruments and procedures that can be used. A lot of small gems hidden in it, by the way. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I’m excited to announce that I will be starting my research group on computational enzyme design at the Generative Biology Institute, Oxford, UK (@eitoxford.bsky.social)! PhD applications are open, deadline is Jan 8th (www.chem.ox.ac.uk/genbio-dtp). Email [email protected] with any questions!

Same angle, yesterday night and this morning

Like 30 seconds earlier

Good morning

Three German universities offering post-docs for researchers "who cannot conduct or continue their work in the USA appropriately because of actual political pressure. " www.uni-konstanz.de/zukunftskoll...

Good news! Now invest more instead of cutting, on both sides! (Of course I have a conflict of interest being a scientist 😉)

??????

Fantastic opportunity! Great project with a great PI. A no-miss opportunity

Early afternoon

Je lance donc la suite de #lesmétazoairesdupèreconnard après la grande musaraigne. Cela sera des formats courts juste pour présenter un métazoaire un peu rigolo / étrange / spécial. Aujourd'hui Heterocephalus glaber, dit le Rat-taupe nu. De l'Ordre des Rodentia et du sous-ordre des Hystricomorpha.

I am super excited to announce that we have a tenure-track faculty position in biophysics open in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon! 🧪 Interfolio link: apply.interfolio.com/174360 PLEASE, share widely across the blue skies! Let me briefly explain what we're looking for: 1/10

They claim that 1) tariffs will pay for the tax cut and 2) tariffs will move production to the US. Once production is back to the US, how will the lower income from tariffs pay for the tax cut? edition.cnn.com/2025/09/15/p...

Here we are, trying to teach an old, but always fantastic dog (Direct Coupling Analysis) some new tricks! It learns them pretty well. Together with @fcaredda.bsky.social @lgennai.bsky.social and bluesky-absent Andrea Pagnani. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A no-miss opportunity to join EPFL. We are a vibrant (had to use it 😉) community working in all branches of basic sciences and engineering, and interdisciplinary studies are strongly encouraged. If you want more information, contact the committee heads, or feel free to DM me. tinyurl.com/bd27ky7p

Walking up beautiful Swiss mountains and talking protein homeostasis (among other things) with good friend and colleague Pierre Goloubinoff

Who said “friends” and entered? Should I follow?

what a marvel

This programme is ideal for professional development (incl a budget for that) and comes with a competitive package - make sure to check it out

New paper from the lab (kudos to @chercheurjuteux.com , Fauvet and to Pierre Goloubinoff). Possibly we raise more questions than we answer, but it has been inspiring. Hopefully we’ll come up with the theory shortly… it is in the works. www.jbc.org/article/S002...

@odedrechavi.bsky.social temporary space during renovation?

Come work with me an Sarah and become a part of DDLS danaher.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/CytivaJobsPP...

Don’t miss it!

Bragging! View from my office, but do not tell the EPFL direction or they will seize it. In one of the pictures you can see the Mont Blanc

Fantastic topic

Spoiler alert: In a few days we will announce around 30 PhD positions for the Cluster of Excellence Circular Bioengineering, one of them in my lab at @bokuvienna.bsky.social on synthetic single carbon pathways in yeast. Stay tuned!

🚨Job opening! Postdoctoral Researcher Position (full-time) in Biophysical modelling of the bacterial cell envelope at the University of Jena and international collaboration jobs.uni-jena.de/jobposting/7...

Doctor Alexandra Shelest !!!!! 🥳🍾🥂

At the masters level, together with @knutdrescher.bsky.social @neher.io @mihaelazavolan.bsky.social @davidbrueckner.bsky.social @cellarchlab.com and others, we just started a very exciting Physics of Life masters program. www.biozentrum.unibas.ch/education/de... which has scholarships also.

Great idea. To add to this list, my institute @biozentrum.unibas.ch has a wonderful international PhD fellowship program: www.biozentrum.unibas.ch/phd/internat... Students do rotations and choose their PhD lab. Also great for students with quantitative background.

Just one week left to apply!

This morning

Great thread

🚨Next week, Wed 29/01 | 16:00 UK - Online Seminar🚨 "Patterning, waves and synchronization in cilia arrays" by Dr. Guillermina Rochelle Ramirez-San-Juan. Please repost & to attend online please register to our 📧for the zoom link: lists.cam.ac.uk/sympa/subscr... #cilia #livingmatter #biophysics

Helpful!

Don’t miss it

For no particular reason

Perfectly encapsulates the law of unintended consequences

My career is complete and I can retire. I am followed by both a Nobel prize winner ( @joachim123.bsky.social ) and by an Ig-Nobel one ( @antoinedeblais.bsky.social ). Can't do better than that.

Let me brag about it. This is this morning’s view from my office.
