We're looking for creative engineers/tinkerers/tool builders that want to engage with cutting-edge research questions in our lab at the @ncbsbangalore.bsky.social Please help me share the word!

The Skysynth feature of from the Vera Rubin Observatory (@vrubinobs.bsky.social) is absolutely magical. Explore cosmic sounds. To get an idea, turn on your speakers for the movie below -- it's amazing! rubinobservatory.org/news/rubin-f...

As always, Will is a master storyteller! Here’s a great thread about our recent paper.

We have a new paper out on an issue that has been discussed for more than a century -- how can fundamental biophysical constraints on nutrient transport be overcome to solve one of the most significant challenges associated with the evolution of multicellularity? www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We’re celebrating the newest graduate from my lab — Dr. Charuhansini Tvishamayi! Those of you in Bangalore, free next Sunday and interested, please come, it will be a pleasure! Poster courtesy: members of the lab.

Such a cool finding, this! So great to see this since my group and I have discussed for years about how measuring the "energetic content" of cells using so called "bomb calorimetry" can be very misleading -- all gradient information is lost that way and clearly it is significant!

We exposed yeast to -196 C freeze-thaw (without cryoprotectants) and interesting things happened -- the survival went up from about 1% to close to 80% in just 25 cycles! The preprint is out and feedback is highly welcome -- www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I first visited KITP-UCSB as a grad student in 2003, and immediately fell in love with it. Here is the story of how my notebook from a 2010 KITP program I co-ran, on evolutionary cell biology, became the source of research questions that keep me busy to this day! www.kitp.ucsb.edu/sites/defaul...

Before I start posting about newer results on this platform, here is a video from our most recent paper -- www.nature.com/articles/s41...
