Had a great time at last night's #YGG2022 Karaoke-fest! Featuring such classics as: Running Up That Hill (dedicated to everyone staying in the CSHL cabins) Shake It Off (dedicated to all yeast cultures forgotten on their benches) I'll Make a M̶a̶n̶ Yeast Geneticist Out of You

Using a Brownian model developed for other sports, the authors show that Magnus has a 4.5% chance of reaching 2900 in his next 200 games if he keeps playing as he has been. His chances go up to 80% if he plays as he did during his hot streak in 2019. arxiv.org/abs/2208.09563

I had an idea at lunch.

lots going on here in biophysics this year: cluster hire [details and links soon] and ai&bio workshop [ditto]. Also Fangwei Si is up and running. Here's a brief overview of his lab. Seniors interested in applying physics to life: this is the place for you! drive.google.com/file/d/1-abQ0F…

What is this brief, mortal life if not the pursuit of resume points along the way?

Part 1 of my two-part blog post on humor theories is now up on SciU: blogs.iu.edu/sciu/2023/02/1… Humor has always fascinated me, so I used the opportunity of writing for ScIU to diverge a little into the humor research literature. I hope the outcome isn't too bad! Do checkout :)

And presenting our new work where we ask -- why is oxygen toxic? bitly.ws/BjZW We dig deep into mechanism and prove a unifying model of cyclic oxygen toxicity. A true magnum opus led by Alan Baik, Galih Haribowo, Kirsten Chen More below Molecular Cell Gladstone Institutes

Very pleased with a Yokogawa W1 confocal unit + a new beast Hamamatsu FIRE camera. Thanks to Ken Anderson (BioVision) and Steve Throne (Ortran). Shown in the front is our ‘Godard’ microscope in a 30C Darwin chamber (+ a larger one at 37C in the back) in our lab’s microscope room.

One Ding to rule em all. #NepoDing

Self-pinning for immortality. Congrats Ding!!

Our monthly UCSD biological physics happy hour. Tzer Han Tan (Tzer Han Tan) and Seungeun Oh (Seungeun Oh) gave their short talks for our students!

10+ Ph.D. positions in biological physics & quantitative biology at UC San Diego, from single-molecule biophysics and quantitative cell physiology to neuro, one of the strongest programs in the US. Deadline: December 6, 2023. More info at biophysics.physics.ucsd.edu Please RT.

Excited to share that our paper on non-invasive temporal interference neuro-stimulation of orbitofrontal cortex in humans is out today in Brain Stimulation You can check it out here: doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.…

Very excited to co-host an ASCB subgroup tomorrow on ‘Biological Size Control and Scaling’ with Hui Chen and Jan Skotheim. Hui Chen @janskotheim. #CellBio24. Sat Dec 14, from 9:30-11am in Rm 29C. Come with questions and hear about the amazing work from our presenters!

Followup. Great end to our first day at #CellBio2024 in San Diego: delicious dinner with our speakers! Cheers to new friends
