Our paper on how protocells at the origins of life could have first evolved adaptive responses to their environment was published today in Trans. Royal Society B: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... ...and what a beautiful cover the Special Issue has too! #protocell #OOL #abiogenesis

Fascinating video story-telling from my team at @acs.org showcasing research from @pablozambrano.bsky.social et al in Munich. Science is global, ever advancing (if we're lucky), and quite often beautiful.
ACS has published a video summarizing our last paper in JACS. It provides a brief overview of our work on the division of protocells.

It’s out!😃
2 years ago, I organized a workshop with @WebersGroup and @KGoepfrich on how to build Life.
We discussed with leading scientists by day and wrote up our discussions in the eves.
The "Roadmap Towards Synthetic Life" is now out in Chem!

A miniature two-photon microscope #Mini2P
Congratulations to the brilliant Weijian Zong, who today received a FRIPRO grant by The Research Council of Norway for the miniature microscope #Mini2P, that allows researchers to see 👀 cognitive functions emerge from thousands of collaborating neurons in the brain 🧠 of a freely behaving mouse!

Thanks, Job! It’s rewarding to see this finally out in JACS!
All the hard work done by @pablozambrano.bsky.social!
Now published in JACS! Pablo found an easy way to divide fatty acid-based protocells.
Simplicity first: All you need is to add carbodiimide as fuel!
