We have three exciting talks lined up for the Fourth Young Biophysicists Meeting. See you all soon on the coming Monday (June 2) at 11am! Mark your calendar🗓️: shorturl.at/choBf Find out moreℹ️: shorturl.at/4oKNe

When invited to review a manuscript, I decline. Then I am asked why I am declining. Seems like personal information and I need to add this meme.

Huge thanks to all the incredible speakers who have shared their research at the Young Biophysicists Meeting so far! Here's a glimpse. See you in the next session!

Excited to share our latest work on how protein shape regulates multilayered condensates at synapses! We show that the length of CaMKII plays a key role in determining the shape and organization of condensates. www.cell.com/cell-reports... #Biophysics #Neuroscience #LLPS

Posting preprints has been transformative for me and how we communicate our work. Thanks bioRxiv (and arXiv and ChemRxiv etc) and all who make it possible 🙏

I am hiring PhD students and Postdocs to join me in beautiful Copenhagen. Together, we will develop data science methods to improve epidemic preparedness. Copenhagen is amazing, salary is good, we have plenty of funding, and a great community. Read more..: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

We are so excited! Biophysics Week 2025 kicks off Monday, March 24! Join us in celebrating 10 years of bringing the biophysics community together with exciting events, resources, and more! Stay tuned! #BiophysicsWeek

In my latest column for Science magazine, I discuss recent AI "reasoning" models -- how it works, to what extent it captures "genuine" reasoning processes, and what's needed to answer such questions. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Some very clever and interesting membrane biophysicists (and also me) are doing a little webinar on... well, membrane biophysics of today and tomorrow. Check it out if you have time!

Great job alert: ProPublica is hiring a computational journalist, "someone who will use technology and data to identify and unlock stories that would otherwise be out of reach." Salary: $120K-$140K Remote: ✅ Come join us!

Second new preprint ‼️ Work led by brilliant postdoc @alinaemelianova.bsky.social (in collab with Pablo Garcia and Daniel Tan) where we leverage multiscale simulations to predict small-molecule partitioning into condensates 💦💊🙌🏽 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thank you to the fantastic speakers who presented today at our first meeting! We are now accepting submissions for our second meeting on April 7th. Submission link : forms.gle/SBeQeAp9MR2U...

CALVADOS-RNA is now published doi.org/10.1021/acs.... This is a simple model for flexible RNA that complements and works with the CALVADOS protein model. Work led by Ikki Yasuda who visited us from Keio University. Try it yourself using our latest code for CALVADOS github.com/KULL-Centre/...

We're looking for a #postdoc to join our team at KCL Chemistry @kingsnmes.bsky.social. If you're interested in disordered proteins, please get in touch! 3 year post. Ad closes 12 March: www.kcl.ac.uk/jobs/105866-...

Some cheerful news! Mina Farag, PhD alum of the lab, and MD/PhD student at WashU was selected as Spencer T. Olin Fellow for his doctoral thesis work. Olin Fellows are “recognized for past achievement and the promise of a distinguished career in the biomedical sciences”. Congratulations Mina!

For our first scientific session spotlight we are "Peeking away from the lampost" with Dr. Rohit Pappu as he joins us to discuss intrinsically disordered proteins. @rohitpappu68.bsky.social @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social #bps2025 youtu.be/pAP2lBWBiGU

Thank you for the opportunity to present my work in LA and learn from other amazing research studies across the world. @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social @biophysj.bsky.social #BPS

To close, we have Jan Huertas from Cambridge University @janhuemar.bsky.social presenting our work in collaboration with the Rosen lab on the structure of chromatin inside condensates and the role of histone tails #BPS2025 @mgo-bps.bsky.social

Starting now #BPS2025 @mgo-bps.bsky.social

First is Michael Poirier from Ohio State, discussing the pathways by which H1 loads into nucleosomes #BPS2025 @mgo-bps.bsky.social

Now we have Marcus Woodworth from University if Pennsylvania telling us about chromatin states in native chromatin visualised with expansion microscopy #BPS2025 @mgo-bps.bsky.social

Rob McGinty from University of North Carolina discusses structural mechanisms of nucleosome demethylation #BPS2025 @mgo-bps.bsky.social

Now is the turn of Paul Meneses from Taekjip Ha lab at Johns Hopkins and Harvard Medical School discussing single molecule measurements on native chromatin #BPS2025 @mgo-bps.bsky.social

Proud to have the final version of our paper on mutations + condensates + scaling laws published in @elife.bsky.social! Work led by @juliamaristany.bsky.social w/ @rcollepardo.bsky.social ! Read the digest here: elifesciences.org/digests/9906...

Beautiful and busy Los Angeles. Biophysical meeting 2025.

Heading to LA for Biophysical Meeting. It will be exciting to talk about my research at platform presentation 17th Feb and on poster 18th Feb. #BPS2025 #IDP. Good opportunity to Network. #LA

We’re hiring! 🚨 We’re looking for motivated postdocs to join our team and help us advance the frontiers of chromatin simulations Learn more and apply here: www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50052/ Women and underrepresented profiles in STEM are encouraged to apply Please repost to help us spread the word!

I got the opportunity to read an advance copy -- highly recommended!

Check out our new paper! Protein assembly in membranes is crucial yet elusive. Why steer when you can just observe? We introduce a bias-free simulation method that captures the full picture of transmembrane dimerization—free energies, mechanisms, and rates! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

I think the field needs to reconsider the widespread concept that microglia are The most important factor controlling synaptic pruning.🧠🧪 We offered our Perspective on whether they are hunters or gatherers of synaptic debris here www.nature.com/articles/s41...

An incredible opportunity for the right person: The Santa Fe Institute is seeking applications for full-time resident faculty positions at all academic levels For me, this has been the best possible job ever. More info here: santafe.edu/about/jobs/r...

Happy new year .

Years end Scientific Discussion and Party. 🙏🙏🙏 #science #okazaki #nips #neuroscienc #research

the hardest problem in computer science is where did I save the code I already wrote to solve this problem

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

Lots of fascinating ideas in this interview with Matt Strassler. Even if you are well-versed in the popular physics of elementary particles and fields, I think you'll still learn some things from this discussion. I did!

Hi. I'm Andrew. I own New England's oldest map store because last year I moved across the country after an old guy retired and gave it to me Willy Wonka-style. Visit my store in Rhode Island. www.mapcenter.com

My favourite comment so far on our paper (from LinkedIn)

The Kumamoto model is great! It came in a handy in modeling motor synchronization at movement onset: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... And in grid cell remapping in altered virtual reality: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
