that this man came out of the American academic science system (BS in physics, Stanford, PhD in biophysics, Princeton) kind of gives me a little pause and regret, i.e. how can you demonstrate such arrogance when you should know what science can and cannot do and what pace it works at?

Electrifying news!⚡ Bonnie and her crew will supercharge the @biozentrum.unibas.ch with new advances in electron spectroscopy + #cryoEM 🔬, which they will use to reveal molecular mechanisms that drive global cycles of #methane and #CO2 🌍
Excited to build a Climate Biophysics community with you! 🇨🇭🧪

In our new @pnasnexus.org paper with Shiladitya Banerjee, we show how this can work in a tissue model.

1/5 You can watch tubulin build a microtubule without a microscope — just microwaves. As the protein assembles, the water around it changes how it answers a gigahertz field, and the dielectric spectrum shifts. #academicsky #biophysics #philsci

Oof. That is hard. The bigger problem to me is it is rare to have an internally consistent biophysics data set one can meaningfully use to train a limited ML model. Don't rely on literature. Ask me how I know.

1/5 A fruit-fly egg picks which end is which with no outside cue. Its mRNA cargo rides microtubules in from neighbouring nurse cells; the cortex keeps catching it and letting it go. That churn alone can lock in a front-to-back axis. #academicsky #biophysics #philsci

To understand how gravity affects our cells, Alexandra Zidovska and colleagues removed the force. In a microgravity environment, writes @sarah-wells.bsky.social, they found that while the shape of the nucleus changes, the genome remains unaffected. #biophysics
Genome dynamics defy disruption in microgravity
Spinning cell samples around to simulate a low-gravity environment yields new insights into gravity’s role in the cell.
