🎉 Excited to announce this summer's Condensate Colloquium Series on the physical aspects of biomolecular condensates! 🔗 Details: spp2191.com/condensate-col… 🔬 Starting with Jim Sethna on May 21, 10AM EDT: "Universal scaling functions: Critical phenomena in biology and physics"

What a great workshop with the Andela Saric and Buzz Baum Buzz Baum's Lab groups! Lots of interesting discussions on science, career and life, with nice food and wine! 🍷

Make sure you join us today for the next exciting talk in the Special Condensate Colloquium Summer Series with Michael Rubinstein. Organised by Andela Saric, Laboratory of Soft and Living Materials, Ned Wingreen and Rohit V. Pappu. SPP2191 - Mol. Mech. of Funct. Phase Separation WashU McKelvey Engineering

The venue and location are delightful! The whole Cotswolds area is stereotypical garden of England countryside and the hotel setting is fab devere.co.uk/cotswold-water…. And English countryside in the early autumn is not to be missed. Especially if there is a cosy pub involved! 6/8

A little more than 1 week to register for the free summer school "Non-equilibrium Processes in Physics and Biology" at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute Erwin Schrödinger Institute in Vienna Aug. 19, 2024 — Aug. 30, 2024. All the details can be found here 👇 esi.ac.at/events/e547/

Fantastic start of the Boulder Summer School 2024 on Self-organising Matter. Find all the lectures and lecture notes here boulderschool.yale.edu/2024/boulder-s… ; organised with Shiladitya Banerjee Gardel Lab Laboratory of Soft and Living Materials and Leo Radzihovsky ⛰️🦅🌸🥾

Before I do this, though, let me heap praise on the occasion: I’ve recent lectured at the 2024 Boulder Summer School for Condensed Matter Physics: “Self-Organizing Matter: From Inanimate to the Animate”. boulderschool.yale.edu/2024/boulder-s… (2/11)

The lecture notes on "Chemically Active Droplets" are now available on arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2407.09859. Thanks again for the amazing Boulder Summer School students and the organizers Andela Saric, Gardel Lab, Shiladitya Banerjee, and Laboratory of Soft and Living Materials!

Join us on Tuesday, July 23rd, for the Special Condensate Colloquium Summer Series! This week's talk will explore "Aging in condensates: glassiness and fiber formation" presented by Louise Jawerth (Louise Jawerth) from Leiden University.

The 2024 Boulder Summer School for Condensed Matter Physics took place from July 1-26. Students gathered to learn from experts about the latest research in “Self-Organizing Matter: From Inanimate to Animate.” Here are their key takeaways💡

Cell & Membrane Fusion 2024 – a 1st Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory! Anyone interested in exciting new developments in membrane, cell, viral and intracellular fusion, this meeting is for you, and we'd love to hear from you! Abstract submission deadline is August 16th. Please RT! meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?…

Researchers at ISTAustria have discovered a previously unknown mechanism of active matter #SelfOrganization, crucial for bacterial #CellDivision: Misaligned filaments spontaneously "die" to create a well-organized ring structure at the center of a dividing cell.

Extremely happy to see our story out in Molecular Cell! doi.org/10.1016/j.molc… We show how Ki-67 & pre-rRNA phase separate, gluing mitotic #chromosomes together! 🧼🧬🧲 @EMBL EMBL Heidelberg Uni Heidelberg ISTAustria Cuylen Lab Andela Saric Ellenberg Lab

Our latest paper is out today Molecular Cell! Led by a Alberto Hernandez-Armendariz and with important contributions from Andela Saric & Ellenberg Lab! We show how chromosomes shift from being repulsive to becoming attractive during mitosis. Read all about it here: cell.com/molecular-cell…

Congratulations to Alberto Hernandez-Armendariz and our colleagues in the Cuylen Lab and Ellenberg Lab EMBL Heidelberg and Andela Saric ISTAustria to this important contribution on the dynamic organization of mitotic chromosomes!
