I will quit this PI job before I leave the bench😊 But I'm probably also not going to be successful depending on the measure🤷‍♂️ Don't care though... (Grabs pipette, turns up beastie boys on headphones)

Very cool🔥 Some drosophila species have very long sperm. 20X longer than the fly body in one case. How do they keep from getting tangled up in the storage vehicle? arxiv.org/html/2507.1456…

A wonderful book. Highly recommend🔥

Mitochondrial pearling isn’t random—it’s physics. Researchers identified two mechanisms: Internal pressure from ionic flux External pulling via motors Both cause membrane tension to exceed bending energy—a Rayleigh-Plateau instability. Full paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

“To these people, the relation between self-organization, life and computing was obvious,” he said. “Those things somehow diverged, and now they are being reunified.”

⚡️Electrochemical cues such as ion fluxes, membrane potentials, pH gradients, and electric fields regulate cell and tissue polarity, influencing migration, growth, division, development, and wound healing. #ComplexSystems #CellBiology🧬 annualreviews.org/content/journa…

"And if I am, who am I? The heritage I supposedly transport? But how can I be both vessel and contents?"-a sentient sperm (Barth 1968) You lived briefly as two haploid cells. The indeterminacy of who you ultimately became had a multiplicity in the hundreds of millions.

"The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries." —Freeman Dyson, NY Review of Books, 2011

Very cool🔥 Review of advances in using photosynthetic cyanobacteria🦠 to enhance tissue oxygenation during wound healing and cancer treatment. #ComplexSystems #OutsideTheBox sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How does the metabolic adaptability of sperm cells suit them to the task of fertilization in an environment they are completely naive to? Check out my recent conversation with Melanie to find out! 🎙️🔥#ReproRocks

🌱 Using ‘compelling’ methods, including #CryoET, researchers mapped spinach thylakoid membranes at single-molecule precision, revealing how photosynthetic complexes are organised and settling long-standing debates on chloroplast architecture. elifesciences.org/articles/10549…

Reviewed as a ‘fundamental’ discovery, this study identifies lymphatic muscle cells as innate pacemakers driving lymphatic pumping. elifesciences.org/articles/90679…

Isaac Asimov advocated for the term 'generalization' over 'law' in his wonderful 1968 book 'Understanding Physics'... Much better framing IMO...
