Welcome back, dear #carotenoids, #flavonoids & #anthocyanin, we missed you!🤗🍁We love the brilliant reds, oranges, yellows & golds of autumn leaves: here's a great infographic by Compound Interest | Chemistry infographics about the #chemistry behind these dazzling autumnal hues🍁💛🍁compoundchem.com/2014/09/11/aut

Our paper on growing 3D bacterial colonies is out in PNASNews! We show that dense 3D colonies exhibit a generic morphological instability and roughening, independent of cell type and environmental conditions, driven by an interplay between competition for nutrients and growth.

Super excited for NWO Biophysics this year, with keynotes from Nikta Fakhri and Stephan Grill, and many cool plenary talks. Abstract deadline for oral presentation is coming up, don't forget to submit on time :)

NWO Nieuws Thanks #NWOBiophysics for a great time in Veldhoven these last two days - great keynotes by Nikta Fakhri and Stephan Grill, great plenaries by Gijs Wuite, Andela Saric, Marie-Eve Aubin-Tam, Rifka Vlijm, Tom Scheenen and Clemens Kaminski, great sessions, and lots of nice conversations.

Congrats Erwin!

Looking forward to the NWO Physics of Life seminar with Ray Goldstein next Thursday! We'll also have talks by Jorine Eeftens, and PhD presentations by Nico Schramma, Katharina Till and Ketan Ganar. Thanks to the NWO PoL Roundtable :)

Hes genes are dynamically expressed in many tissues. But how do dynamics differ between tissues and are they always oscillatory? We have addressed this question in the context of the developing embryo, where somites and neural tube form side-by-side. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Impressive work on ribosomes from the Tanenbaum lab, showing also that ribosomes move at different speeds. Also pointer to Marvin's second post: Great PD Sora Yang is on the jobmarket this year!

We've just opened the registration for the 2nd edition of the NWO Physics of Life seminar series with talks by NimwegenLab and Maike Hansen.
