Non-spherical coacervates are cool! I was wondering when this would be coming out. Congrats Louis Reese and Kasper!

In a paper just published Rohit Pappu’s and my lab show that the number of stickers and their patterning determine LLPS of prion-like LCDs. Our findings lead to a numerical model that enables the prediction of full binodals from the sequence. science.sciencemag.org/content/367/64… (1/15)

So thrilled and honored to receive the Harold Weintraub Award for my graduate research! Weintraub Graduate Student Award Fred Hutch Cancer Center fredhutch.org/en/news/releas…

As promised, here is our first glimpse of the #COVID19 spike protein (aka the demogorgon) in action, courtesy of Folding@home . More to come!

Once again: DO NOT TRACK THE NUMBER OF CASES. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO INCREASE AS TESTING COMES ONLINE. Instead, track the number of deaths per day. If the "doubling time" of these slows to more than 3 days, we're starting to bend the curve. thread: x.com/SamWangPhD/sta…

Frogs rule!

Beautiful work officially out by Sagar Setru, Bernardo deGouveia, Josh Joshua Shaevitz and Howard Stone - a tri-departmental Princeton University collaboration. What do drops on spiderwebs and protein droplets on microtubules have in common? #PhaseSeparation on Cellular Surfaces

At some point you have to admit that doing things ironically can have very straightforward consequences. #FakeAccountsClub Lauren Oyler

You Were Duped Into Saying Yes. Is That Still Consent? nytimes.com/2021/03/05/opi…

Happy to present a new preprint from @MarileenD’s lab, in which we ask if a microtubule plus-end tracking comet is held together by interactions that also drive phase separation. The answer is not a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’, so here goes the 🧵1/10

Have you wondered how a decades-old oocyte can give rise to a new embryo while other cells in the body age? Our study nature, spearheaded by Aida Rodríguez Nuevo, uncovers the mechanism that allows early #oocytes to maintain ROS-free #mitochondria nature.com/articles/s4158…🧵

Congrats to Sophie Travis and team from Rui Zhang and Sabine Petry on the augmin structure! Also congrats to Stefan Pfeffer and Leifu Chang Research Group for their structural work!

🔥🔥How does the LINE-1 retrotransposon jump around in the human genome? Super excited to present my postdoctoral work answering this published today nature together with twitterless Kathy Collins's lab and The Nogales Lab UC Berkeley nature.com/articles/s4158… A 🧵

Congratulations to Avnika Pant on receiving a scholarship & invitation to attend the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Physiology program this summer! This selective and intensive program is one of the oldest continually running biology courses. Avnika is a doctoral student with @PappulabWashU.

Congratulations to Dana-Farber's Cigall Kadoch, PhD, (Cigall Kadoch) who was named as the Laureate of the Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists today. The prestigious award from Blavatnik Awards and NYAS (cont) ms.spr.ly/l/6014mOVe0
