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

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.

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

Couldn't find one so made a quick physics of life list, enjoy! go.bsky.app/EA2VsDN

For people interested in chaperones, protein quality control, proteostasis and cellular homeostasis, here is the link of the webinars we (P. Goloubinoff, A. Barducci, N. Nillegoda and I) hosted during the COVID pandemics. A lot of material! tinyurl.com/27y5wpzy

@pablopulidopqc.bsky.social welcome! @damkyanomega.bsky.social a new chaperonologist for your pack!

Good to see you here @mattoolab.bsky.social !

Any news media starter pack?

First post here. I am interested in chaperone proteins: how do cells counteract/revert protein misfolding and aggregation? What are the physics principles that allow these machines to work? Are native proteins in the cell thermodynamically stable? 1/4
