Stimulating conference on Condensates & Enzymology, in Black Forest. (An adventure getting here - roadside delays made fun w Princeton University colleague Ned Wingreen). Wonderful mtg - Thx Hyman Lab + @PappulabWashU Phillips Hartl Lemke Simon Alberti Daniel Colón Ramos Jonathan Rodenfels Dai + others

EXCITED to unroll this 🧵 on our new story on the metabolic licensing of animal development... How did we even get here..? shorturl.at/vuCIh Early embryo is thought of a pre-set machine that's set to go once it's fertilized - check out this gorgeous 📽️from Phil Keller!

Although glucose levels impacted the speed of adaptation, the genetics of adaptation showed remarkable robustness. Recurring mutations drove adaptation, regardless of glucose availability. Essentially, the environment sets the pace but not the path. ⚡️ (4/7)

Excited to share our new paper led by Matt Kukurugya in collaboration with Saharon Rosset showing that the Warburg Effect is the result of faster ATP production by glycolysis than respiration. A 🧵... 1/n pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The outer ear is a mammalian innovation but where did it come from? In our study in nature, Mathi Thiruppathy and colleagues find that the outer ear arose from modification of an ancestral gill program first originating in marine invertebrates. nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/n

The latest from Julius Palme and Ang Li from Mike Springer 's lab, probably the most creative and revelatory piece of science in recent years, is now out! This paper does an incredible job laying out the subtle idea of an enzymatic flux sensor. nature.com/articles/s4225…

I think the NIH/NCI should create its own FREE open access journal and 1) Publish all NIH funded research 2) Pay reviewers ($ or some sort of credit system) Better quality reviews, research transparency (& less profit for publishing companies/predatory journals).

Exciting news! MBL has received a $2.6M gift from an anonymous donor! This generous support fuels our mission of discovery, education, and innovation. Private philanthropy drives groundbreaking research and shapes the future of science. 🌎🔬 #ScienceStartsHere #Philanthropy

Basic science is inspired by curiosity, accountable to evidence, and subject to peer review. Politics should have no role.

Very excited to share that my thesis work is out in Molecular Cell! We trained a Structure and Omics informed Classifier (SPOC) to score binary AlphaFold multimer (AF-M) predictions by structural quality and consistency with experimental omics datasets. cell.com/molecular-cell…

New Microbiology Course to Launch This Fall - REGISTRATION OPEN NOW Rachelle Gaudet Jeeyun Chung Ryan Nett MurthyLab at Harvard Nicholas Bellono Amanda Whipple Kazuki Nagashima Marissa Gredler Hekstra Lab Denic Lab Max Prigozhin Harvard University mcb.harvard.edu/department/new…

Just gonna drop these here

Check out our new paper in Nature Biotechnology sharing our latest kinase activity reporters! Led by former postdoc Michelle Frei, these reporters are based on HaloTag rather than an FP, for far-red imaging and superresolution! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Job alert! We are looking for postdoc interested in quantitative methods to understand metabolic programming in cancer and immune cells! Also recruiting technician to help manage lab instruments and projects. DM or email me or forward to anyone you think that might be interested!

1/ We're dedicating $100M to support American scientists facing funding cuts through the Lux Science Helpline, an expansion of our Lux Labs program. To compete in the future, innovation must be funded 🧪💡

Alex Harding I hate this idea. Most scientists I know don’t take the literature to be true and pure replication is only a small % why. It’s more that the right experiments weren’t done in the first place. Ideas come out there, and the best ideas get supported in myriad different ways.

The fireworks in your mind. 🧠✨ This sparkling video shows the neurotransmitter glutamate being released into synapses, made possible by an indicator developed by Abhi Aggarwal, Kaspar Podgorski, and team. #HappyNewYear #NYE

Really liked Sri's perspective piece on building virtual cell-like models. Strongly agreed with the uncertainty on if we are even measuring the right things. My bet is that inventing new/better tools to make ground truth measurements in cells will accelerate model development.
