Friends, a thread to advertise our recent paper in Physical Review X: Sam Wilken and Aria Chaderjian showed that biomolecular phase separation can lead to _hyperuniform_ patterning of droplets, structures that are locally random but ‘ordered’ over long scales journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/1…

A cogent summary of our recent PRX publication. I'm particularly excited about the potential implications of the general mechanism, implying that hyperuniform structures may exist in phase-separating systems in far ranging fields from ecology, astronomy and image processing.

Attendees of #apsmarch, I again ask you to consider sending your abstract (due Oct 20!) to: "Bio-inspired phase-separation" the APS DSOFT focus session I am organizing with Sam Wilken See link below for details of this, and all DSoft sessions: march.aps.org/attendees-pres…

March meeting attendees: Check out session K35, “Bio-inspired phase separation”, Tuesday 3-6pm, with great talks on various condensate and compartmentalized systems, including invited talks from Will Jacobs (Princeton) and Sam Wilken (UCSB) Details attached; link follows

Happy to share our just-published review article on liquids (condensates) formed from nucleic acids. We tried to be pretty comprehensive, yet during the publication process ~6 more papers in the area appeared...ah well. see here, hope you like it: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

I will be giving the SLAAM Seminar next Monday morning October 7 (10am Pacific time/1pm Eastern) on Zoom. Please attend if you're interested in biomolecular phase separation, transcriptional control and hyperuniformity! More details: sites.google.com/view/slaamsemi…

Condensate fans and attendees of #apsmarch! Consider sending your abstract (due Oct 25!) to: "Bio-inspired phase-separation" the APS DSOFT and APS Division of Biological Physics focus session I am organizing with Sam Wilken (session # 02.01.20 or, identically 04.01.39) Thanks!

Only two days left to apply for positions in my new group in Mainz! The Nature Jobs posting will close on July 11th, but you can still find application details at sites.google.com/view/swilken/w…
