Feeling awed and a bit starstruck that @science.org chose to run a book review on #LabworkToLeadership!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Did you know about the BPS Bridging Funds Program? If you're a biophysicist navigating a difficult time, this program is for you to defray costs for attending the BPS Annual Meeting! I am grateful to the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social for supporting our members! www.biophysics.org/2026meeting/...

Karolinska is looking for 20 (!!) assistant professors and offering 6 year appointments with ~1M USD startup packages. ki.se/en/about-ki/...

It’s been a weird, unproductive week at the lab and I’m feeling a little down. So here are 10 cool facts about vision:

New paper out from the Mittag lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... New adventures in understanding structure and function of SPOP, which involve donuts! 🍩 Congratulations to first authors Matt Cuneo, Ömer Güllülü and Mohamed-Raafet Ammar, and all other authors!

I spoke with Jade Hindmon, host of @kpbssandiego.bsky.social Midday Edition, about the consequences of the current administration’s cuts to science funding. Please share to help spread the word and raise awareness. www.kpbs.org/podcasts/kpb...

Welcome to the Biological Physics of Biomolecular Condensates: Bridging Theory and Experiment (#biomol-c25) Conference at #KITP Learn more at: buff.ly/HHQAdGh If you are unable to attend in person or want to revisit any talks, recorded sessions are available to watch at: buff.ly/ufXjSxG 🧪

Lively poster session after a day full of talks (😅) by @drummondlab.bsky.social, Allie Obermeyer, @albertilab-tud.bsky.social, Sam Safran, and @tanjamittag.bsky.social at the #KITP biomol25 conference on biomolecular condensates. Great conversations between theorists and experimentalists!

Thank you, @philipcball.bsky.social ! It was a pleasure to meet you in person!

Are you looking for a faculty job? We are hiring in my department at Roswell Park NOW. Contact me for details as I await the formal ad. (Please RT.)

Wonderful example of thermodynamics vs kinetics. This is def gonna change the way I think about phase separation and condensates from now on!

Biomolecular condensates are shape shifting bits of DNA, RNA and proteins that “condense” molecules to key locations inside our cells. I call em "power blobs" cuz I'm fun like that. 🧪 🩺 Research from @rohitpappu68.bsky.social with @stjuderesearch.bsky.social source.washu.edu/2025/05/rese...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Washington University in St. Louis demonstrated that neurodegenerative disease-causing fibrils could form with or without condensates. Their research lays the groundwork for developing therapeutics for such diseases. ow.ly/CtKM50W0ajN

Are stress granules crucibles or protective against amyloid fibril formation? Read about our work at Mol Cell: "Tunable metastability of condensates reconciles their dual roles in amyloid fibril formation". Wonderful collaboration with @rohitpappu68.bsky.social and other colleagues (see next post)!

Gemma Solomon and I are looking for a postdoc to work across the two groups on modelling biological systems with a view to applications for quantum computing More details about the project including how to apply in the link below. Deadline April 9 2025 candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

Circulate this widely! We need to know which NIH grants have been terminated. It goes beyond the list that HHS has released. Send to every scientist you know. @scott-delaney.bsky.social @noamross.net
