New lab website up: jorgensenresearch.net Super proud of my students Ben, Elizabeth & Jerry who are top notch. Two of them are on the look for a PhD position in computational chemistry.

We are proud to share our latest preprint: "(-)-Englerin A binds a conserved lipid site of TRPC5 and exposes a Met-aromatic motif in channel activation". www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Here with my group for the Inaugural lecture of Prof Paul Cox

New preprint: TS2CG version 2, building and simulating membranes with any shape and lateral organisation. We got Martini Globe, Martini Möbius strip and again mitochondrion. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @cg-martini.bsky.social @janstevens.bsky.social @fabianschuhmann.bsky.social

It's the last round of "Eye Spy a Biophysicist"! This scientist studied human tolerance to centrifugal acceleration, and once led the biophysics and bioastronautics division of the US Navy’s thermal lab. Comment your guess and tune in later to find out the answer! #BiophysicsWeek

@gonzprat.bsky.social If you could go back ~25 yrs, to the time you started your independent lab. in Argentina, what would you do differently? #BioAMA2025

We are live with @gonzprat.bsky.social! Feel free to ask him any questions that you have related to biophysics using #BioAMA2025

@gonzprat.bsky.social What motivated you to pursue an academic career?

We're hosting an Ask Me Anything about Biophysics on Bluesky today with BPS Ambassador Alumnus Gonzalo de Prat Gay! Tweet your questions with #BiophysicsAMA and tune in at 11am USA Eastern time.

Today with @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social we're organizing the Biophysics Week "Ask Me Anything" featuring Prof. Gonzalo de Prat Gay @gonzprat.bsky.social from Fundación Instituto Leloir in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A few more days to apply for postdoctoral positions in my group. We investigate : - tau amyloid formation at a molecular level - tau LLPS - tau-spliceosome interaction in tauopathies. More info here : www.fichou-lab.cnrs.fr/en/home

More cuts to NIH & apparently folks who stay dealing with stuff like this. They don't even make enough to put up with such nonsense! Please hang in there NIH, NSF, & other federal folks! We're so grateful for all you do ❤️‍🩹 www.science.org/content/arti...

I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/

Today we have published BioEmu-Benchmarks (MIT license): a code to evaluate the multi-conformation sampling benchmarks, MD free energy landscape benchmarks, and folding free energy benchmarks shown in the BioEmu-1 paper with BioEmu or your own model. Some details below 🧵 github.com/microsoft/bi...

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay. They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence! Mustard on the [Be][At] bro. Happy Black History Month!

www.politico.eu/article/von-... Europe needs to stand united at this critical point.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

BREAKING: Johns Hopkins along with 12 peer institutions and Assoc of Amer Univ sues to stop drastic cuts in NIH funding. This is separate from the lawsuit brought by 22 states, which also includes Maryland. Read the complaint in the link. www.acenet.edu/Policy-Advoc...

Nature Protocols is on bsky and they are having a Love Methods week! The links are presently broken (for me) but hopefully they work for you all!

MD simulations and experiments in cells reveal core structural determinants that govern binding of Hexokinase I to mitochondrial VDACs, a liaison with far-reaching physiological implications. Another great collaborative effort with @melolab.bsky.social and @cg-martini.bsky.social! rdcu.be/d9lO8

We're excited to present our Women in Chemistry series! www.nature.com/collections/... We shine a light on some of the women researchers in our community, hear about their interests and experiences, and learn from their advice and wisdom. #Chemsky

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The United States by virtue of a bipartisan commitment to biomedical research created one of the most vibrant, productive research ecosytems in the world. People came from all over to study here, do research here. It was a monumental accomplishment by both parties. 1/

I have a confession . . . I was an “overhead cost”. I was a beaker washer, agar plate pourer, research secretary. I was paid by “overhead cost” fees. Loved it. Those “overhead cost” jobs allowed this rural kid to become a physician. Please tag how #OverheadCostJob impact u.

I’ve been seething and grieving since yesterday’s Friday Night Massacre of NIH overheads, a seeming bit of bureaucratic trivial that will in fact destroy the US university system if unchecked. But I want to get away from budgets and rate breakdowns and F&A percentages for a moment. Humor me?
