In the nucleus, many intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) form condensates. What IDP sequence features drive this behavior? We developed CondenSeq, a high-throughput approach to measure nuclear condensate formation, and applied it to ~14,000 IDPs to find out!

Roadtrip. For some, it might be vacation, for others it's a roadtrip from their postdoc to their new lab. I interviewed two scientists who kindly shared personal insight into what that feels like. And yes, they know that many are not having the good fortunate of landing a faculty job just yet. A 🧵
