When invited to review a manuscript, I decline. Then I am asked why I am declining. Seems like personal information and I need to add this meme.

Excited to share our latest work on how protein shape regulates multilayered condensates at synapses!
We show that the length of CaMKII plays a key role in determining the shape and organization of condensates.
