I was at Janelia this past week for a workshop on theoretical biophysics. All participants had to give a talk and a tutorial. It was a great workshop and a great place for it! #physics #biophysics #janelia

Hi, I just joined! I am a biophysicist at Princeton. I study the physics of membrane less organelles. I currently focus on an organelle within green algae called the pyrenoid. It enhances the rate of carbon capture and photosynthesis. #HiSciSky #physics #AcademicSky #blackSky #MolecularBiology
