Hip hip hurray - we have a new doctor in the house. Congratulations Dr @cbrannon.bsky.social that was a spectacular defense; so many fun stories all tied together in an hour. Also, the same week Charlotte’s big paper on information bottlenecks in ciliary flocks got accepted in Nature Physics.

Postdoctoral researcher @isaacsiuwong.bsky.social in the @hymanlab.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de is 2026 Grass Fellow @grassfoundation.bsky.social @mblscience.bsky.social. 🎉 He will pursue his project “Dancing diatoms as a proto-neural model” at MBL for 14 weeks. www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

Condensates are powerful ways to break symmetry and cells do remarkable things with them. Here we show that in a multinucleate fungus, a condensate regulates translation of a cyclin and a formin in distinct locations. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am very excited to share our pre-print that was just released on the bioRxiv entitled "Biomolecular Condensates Dictate the Folding Landscape of Proteins" doi.org/10.64898/202... Very grateful for @jerelleaj.bsky.social and the members of the Joseph Group for their support on this project! (1/4)

Very happy to announce that a small part of my bird data, collected on a transect along the Elbe river, got successfully 'published' online.:) hymanlab.org/blog/2025/-c...

Welcome Safal!!, now the most amazing @safalfold.bsky.social is on bluesky🐙🦀🌊

Huge congrats to DOCTOR @rnadavid.bsky.social for successfully defending! Amazing presentation 💙

ufhealth.org/news/2025/st... Again, amazing work from Sayour Lab! Congrats to @adamgrippin.bsky.social and all others involved!

Our new preprint reveals that 🪰's Cnn and 🪱's SPD-5 both form condensates in vitro, but assemble via divergent mechanisms in vivo. We show how phosphorylation unlocks Cnn’s autoinhibited scaffold and identify conserved features in 🚶‍♂️'s CDK5RAP2.

Did you know tiny algae can "skate" within Arctic sea ice? ⛸️ Our new study in @pnas.org reveals the secret life of ice diatoms: they are actively gliding to navigate the ice! This adds a new dimension to the sea ice ecosystem, revealing an active, dynamic ecological niche. @prakashlab.bsky.social

My first research project in grad school was working on understanding the self assembly dynamics of the Sayour Lab’s vaccine. Elias is genuinely one of the nicest, most enthusiastic individuals I have ever worked with. Hector (the first author) is also absolutely amazing!

Exciting news! Our latest paper reveals that Spd-2 (CEP192) recruits Polo & Aurora A to build two scaffolds—Polo-dependent Cnn (for strength) & Aurora A–dependent TACC (for protein concentration)—crucial for centrosome assembly in Drosophila. #CellBiology #Centrosome www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
