IG Nobel Prize in #Physics 2025 to @mpipks.bsky.social researchers for elucidating the phase behaviour of cacio e pepe sauce. The work highlights how physics can also be applied to solve daily-life problems!

Hi, are you an academic biology lab in the Boston area? I am a lab manager at a local biotech and I will be getting rid of a lot consumables in the near future (as will many of my colleagues, unfortunately). If you would be interested in free consumables, please reach out to me!

How do cells sense electric fields? How quickly can they respond? We show, in a collaboration with Nathan Belliveau and Julie Theriot, that this is limited by the physics of how proteins diffuse. Here's the

Do you use human primary cells in vitro for your studies? Human tissues? Ever wondered how well the cells in vitro map to in vivo? Please check out our data here doi.org/10.1038/s415... this may have importance when studies don't translate well to pre clinical or clinical models. #glaucoma

I was looking for a starter pack for #WomenInSTEM working on #CellBiology and didn't find any - so I created one. And since I am hoping to not misgender anyone I made it #FLINTA (fingers crossed). Let me know if you want to be added!
