Our recent work (elifesciences.org/articles/104276) combines theory and experiments (by Alex Papagiannakis and JacobsWagnerLab) to understand how chromosome segregation is coupled to growth in E coli. We demonstrate that the nonequilibrium dynamics of polysomes may play a key role.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

🚨Federal judge orders DHS to limit “roving patrols” in Los Angeles. The judge finds that the evidence shows that DHS officers are racially profiling people to demand their papers, which all sides agree is illegal, and orders DHS to stop those unlawful practices.

NEW: A group of independent experts appointed by the United Nations says that the Trump regime's mass deportations without due process is “enforced disappearance” which is "state-sponsored abductions that are banned under international law." nytimes.com/2025/07/13/us/…

This is Horrifying these Alleged ICE agents showed up at this families home & when they asked them to ID themselves they started breaking down the door & smashing the windows! They had their weapons out ready to shoot in front of young kids.This ended up being the wrong address.

Wow. Justice Sotomayor wrote a chilling dissent: “When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary's duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.” We should all be alarmed.

How challenging is the prediction of transcriptional responses to CRISPR gene perturbations ? A simple model, just scaling RNA correlation vectors, results in accurate predictions for many perturbations. The model is intuitive & grounded in a simple approximation. 1/2

ML often takes inspiration from biology , e.g. neural networks. But can other biological systems inspire new learning tools? In this super cool preprint from Krishna Shrinivas, phase transitions in condensates perform classification and info processing! arxiv.org/abs/2509.08100

Working on a new blog post to estimate when we can simulate cells atom-by-atom. I analyzed 500 papers published in last 35 years to look at the duration of all-atom simulations and how many atoms can be modeled.

Scientific careers play out in niches of 10-20 PIs that review almost all of one another’s papers and grants Removing just one consistent “yes” or “no” vote in that tiny circle is a big deal If you’re a young scientist, have your list of 20 names and a plan to befriend them all

Inspired by condensates that form on specific DNA loci, we ask: Can we design multicomponent fluids to form distinct condensates on diff. surfaces? i.e., perform a type of information processing (surface classification) through condensation! arxiv.org/abs/2509.08100 (1/2)
