Was excited to learn that my tenure case at Harvard was approved and I am being offered full prof. position. As I told my current and former group members: All of you have a huge part in this, thank you for your creativity and hard work throughout the years!

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Pierre-Gilles de Gennes' Nobel Prize in Physics, ESPCI Paris - PSL is organizing a 2-day international conference to celebrate de Gennes' scientific legacy. For more info visit: degenneslegacy.sciencesconf.org

Congratulations on your #graduation, dear #Pekingers! The two-day graduation ceremony starts today at the #PKU Khoo Teck Puat Sports Complex! Let’s take a look at some key moments from the venue. (1/2) #PKUclassof2021 #PKUgraduation2021

Our recent paper on stochastic gene expression, which proposes a new method to infer intrinsic and extrinsic noises. Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 078101 (2021) - Disentangling Intrinsic and Extrinsic Gene Expression Noise in Growing Cells journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

My first first-author paper is now published in J. Stat. Mech! A transport approach to relate asymmetric protein segregation and population growth doi.org/10.1088/1742-5… via IOPscience

I started a theory project asymmetric protein segregation and its effect on population growth with Jie Lin in 2017. This is a follow-up paper to our previous paper on PRL in 2019, applying a transport approach developed by @ethan_levien on phenotypic variability.

#TBauthorssummary A new great authors' summary from the publication: "Disentangling Intrinsic and Extrinsic Gene Expression Noise in Growing Cells" - Jie Lin and Ariel Amir Ariel Amir journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

Congrats Giorgio! Many of us have known for years that you deserve this.

1/N Now that I have your attention.. let me say more. What Giorgio taught is that disordered systems are host to an entirely new emergent phase of matter, with WILD properties. This phase is sometimes called a Gardner phase, after ...

Our recent work on the possible mechanisms of nonlinear gene expression levels as a function of cell volume: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our recent work about the effects of elasticity on the dissolution of condensates: Elasticity generates indissoluble biomolecular condensates biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

With great sadness, we share that theoretical physicist Alberto Sirlin passed away on Wednesday, Feb 23 at age 91. He joined NYU as an assistant professor in 1959 and retired in 2008, though he remained an active member of the community.

I have been immersed in the concept of ‘non-genetic individuality’ for the past few months while writing/revising papers and wanted to do a thread summarizing the field as I think it may be interesting for some! So here goes (it's LONG!): (1/27)

Our recent work on the modelling of cell size control is published in PLOS computational biology. In this work, we show that cells can sense the differential size-scaling of protein concentrations to decide the timing of cell division. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…
