Dear biophysics friends — the APS DBIO elections are now open! If you are a member, check for an email from directvote.net with the ballot. Please take a moment to vote — our community thrives when we show up. Candidate statements and bios are on the ballot (and I’m on it for Vice Chair).

The Pardicolor Team doesn’t have a Bluesky yet, so I thought I would share this wonderful small grant opportunity. Check out the work they do at www.pardicolor.org

Multiple-Awesome-Colleague Alert! The first is Fred Heberle (not on bsky). His group made a series of 3-component vesicles (high-Tmelt PC-lipid, low-Tmelt PC-lipid and chol) and varied only the high-Tmelt lipid. Then they measured liquid-liquid phase transition temperatures (Tmix) of the membranes 🧵

Hey UW Colleagues! Want an easy way to help our community (and a way to get kid stuff like board books and infant car seats out of your house) @uwchemistry.bsky.social has big collection bins for food to the UW Food Pantry, for warm clothes to Aurora Commons, and for kid stuff to Westside Baby

I love being able to fill out my ballot at home and then drop my ballot in a box while biking to work. Big thanks to all of you across the U.S. who will be standing in lines tomorrow to vote. Even little elections can have big impacts. (When they come with free Molly Moon's ice cream, even better!)

Let's goooo, Seattle! I filled out my mail-in ballot and will put it in my local drop box tomorrow... I hope you'll join me! If you haven't seen the videos at @theseattlechannel.bsky.social, they are marvelous. The audio feed of our city council is (unfortunately) real, and the puppetry is hilarious

Double vaccinated for flu & Covid today! Even better, I was right behind Julie Theriot (pictured) & Beth Traxler (the photographer), so we to got to say "hi" before heading off to our respective labs. Feeling great so far. Thankful to UW for making it easy to be healthy (and network with colleagues)

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.
The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

Deleted the Spotify app from my phone. OK, yeah, I wasn't using it anyway because of how poorly they pay artists, and I didn't have a paid subscription, but it was nice to choose a time to delete it that had the possibility of sending a message

Fascinating data! The article below is Open Access – anyone can read it. I've included a higher-resolution image of the authors' key data showing that when retakes are offered on physics exams, women's scores increase on the FIRST try to be equal to men's. Implications for course design are huge

This year my new charity is Pro Publica. I had been already meaning to donate & the blurb nailed it: "ProPublica's mission is to expose abuses of power and betrayals of the public trust by government, business, and other institutions, using the moral force of investigative journalism to spur reform"

Are you employed by Washington State like me? Last year we donated ~$4.5 million to charity! The new Combined Fund Drive has started. I just donated to the UW Dept of Chemistry @uwchemistry.bsky.social. Bonus: if you give $5 to a new charity or increase $5 by 21 Oct, and you'll get $5 toward coffee.
