Open postdoc position in Vienna: Development of a simple, yet powerful open-source MINFLUX microscope. maxperutzlabs.ac.at/news/open-posi… Please RT.

PhD alert! I have two ERC-funded PhD positions to uncover the chemical origins of life! Starting date: October 2025. *UK fees only*. Projects described here: lclu.cam.ac.uk/studentship-op… Email me if interested - deadline (PhD in Biochemistry, Uni of Cambridge): January 7th!

Super happy to have Cohen Lab PhD student Ian Windham's paper about #APOE trafficking to #LipidDroplets featured in this exciting collection!!

At SEVA, we’re all about minimalism, but Sáenz Lab just raised the bar 🤯 They engineered a minimal cell membrane with just 2 kinds of lipids! If that’s enough for life, could this open the possibility of further genome reduction? 🧬 Learn more👇 buff.ly/3OLH2Mm

Preprint alert!! How zonated hepatocytes adapt to changes in lipid influx due to fasting or a Western diet (WD). We developed a microscopy-based phenotyping method called single-cell phenomics (scPhenomics) to measure the features of mitochondria and lipid droplets (LDs).

A new Science Magazine article from 30+ leading international scientists including several J. Craig Venter Institute researchers, examines the potential dangers of building ‘mirror life’ — organisms composed entirely of mirror-image biological molecules.

Today I’m joining 30+ colleagues in taking an unusual step: calling for a halt to a line of research I was excited about, the long-term effort to build “mirror life”. We’re sharing our findings in a Science Magazine paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/6

Born on Christmas Day in 1876, Adolf Otto Reinhold Windaus was a German chemist who won a The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1928 for his work on sterols and their relation to vitamins.

Refusing an invitation in Britain: "I'd love to, but I'm afraid I can't, I have to be up early tomorrow. Seriously, it sounds like a lot of fun, but you know how it is. Perhaps we could get together next week..." Refusing an invitation in Germany: "No, I don't want to do that"
