Great post to start the new year, the first hours of a new life :-)
Also tagging @mofrawe.bsky.social here, her handle is a tad difficult to find, but worth to watch and follow ;-)

It’s interesting, while going through specific projects and lines of questioning, the conversation acts as a nice reflection of the state of our field (fields?)

One more paper made it over the finish line before end of the year, though publication as part of a special issue will be in 2026.
Thanks for helpful input from our editor, anonymous peers & colleagues we asked for presubmission feedback, made the piece so much better.

In a longer conversation about project strategy and scientific careers with our postdoc today, I realized “One positive change that still came after becoming professor is enough experience to see the big picture. I can step back now, see how things connect-a kind of beauty I couldn’t see before!”

This confirms my belief that knowing too much about something is a hindrance to discovering anything new about it, right?
Papers from research teams with a substantial number of beginners are highly disruptive and innovative

Really cool to hear about it at the Center SynGen event, and now see it published. Of course I very much like this angle of building a synthetic model of cellular phase separation phenomena-like here of the RNA-mediated feedback as outlined by @jhenninger.bsky.social and colleagues
We’re excited to share our new work in Soft Matter: doi.org/10.1039/D5SM...
We demonstrate how in vitro transcription can drive biomolecular phase separation — and how that phase separation in turn regulates transcription.
