What I don't get about academia is the chronic lack of celebration. It is hard to get & maintain grant funding, hard to get papers accepted without Faustian bargains, hard to be a great mentor, & hard to maximize trainee success. All of it is hard. We should celebrate everything.

We're recruiting! Please spread the word. We're excited for someone to join our team with an interest in biochemistry and/or cell biology. The project will focus on cellular redox reactions that locally activate switches in protein complexes to drive signalling.

If you are interested in working with DNA nanotechnology and lipid membranes in the context of synthetic biology, as well as learning about techniques such as atomic force microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Check it out: biochem.mpg.de/7868629/job-of…

📣 WE ARE HIRING (TT assist. or assoc. prof) Come be my colleague at the University of Copenhagen 🇩🇰! Copenhagen is a great city to live in 🚲🌤️ 👪 and you will have lots of great colleagues 🧑‍🔬🧑‍💼 working on diverse topics🧪🧫🧶🍝🧬🖥️ Deadline Sept 22: employment.ku.dk/faculty/?show=…

Simply spectacular!

I can only apologise for this idiocy.

Liposomal drug-delivery vehicles that fuse with cells and directly and quickly deliver their cargos in the cytosol can be extremely efficient, but this efficiency may come with a price. Here we show how. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

oh this looks interesting and important...

💯. It's really hard to fake the dynamic in a group meeting.

it continues to be wild to me that if the cinnamon tree didn't happen to exist there just *wouldn't be cinnamon flavour* and yet you'd still have the *capacity to taste cinnamon* and there are surely thousands of flavours you could taste that just happen to not exist

Another terrific strike of the Ilya Levental with super postdoc #milkadoktorova and now independent PI of SciLifeLab at Stockholm University. With Sáenz Lab these are two giant #lipidtime strikes of former MPI-CBG Dresden Simonslab #lipidcrew members. Just love it.

A terrific / terrifying example for teaching externalities. Folks choose heavier cars because they're less likely to die in a crash (gray line). But that choice makes it much much more likely that you'll kill the other guy (red line). economist.com/interactive/un… #TeachEcon

Membrane lovers, check out this crazy thing! Apparently cells are full of stable, hemi-fused endosomes. To my knowledge, such structures have never been observed before, definitely not in lipid-only systems. Anyone seen anything like this?!?

🔥RNA & lipids in action 🧬! Our latest study, featuring Tomasz as lead author, reveals how lipid membranes affect the activity of catalytic RNAs. B CUBE - Center for Molecular Bioengineering James Saenz

membranes affected RNA-based enzymes! really exciting and important implication for the origins of life of earth

The strange state of current publishing. I think some stats on our recent Cellstates paper provide interesting food for thought. The preprint was put on BioRxiv and within 3 months there were ~8500 abstract views and >2000 PDF downloads. We also submitted it to PCB 6-11-2023 1/n

In this study in MBoC, Ani Chattaraj and Zeynep Baltaci spearhead our efforts (w/ Les Loew & Bruce Mayer) to develop methods to quantitatively understand and predict phase separation of multivalent binding partners using computational modeling and precise quantitative microscopy

Love this new article on our homeocurvature paper by Yasemin Saplakoglu in Quanta Magazine Besides really getting into the weeds, it explains some of the (often serendipitous) moments and interactions that drove the wor - one of the great joys about science! quantamagazine.org/the-cellular-s…
