Congratulations (and thank you) to Prof. Nicole King (@berkeleymcb.bsky.social) for her fascinating Alma Howard Lecture @biomcgill.bsky.social 🎉🤩👩‍🔬
She shared new data on the secret (sex) lives of choanoflagellates and their implications for the evolution of mating and multicellularity in animals 🦠

Back in Montreal, wistfully going back through photos from #kitp 🥹

I'm sure the Tower Room is spectacular in every season, but I'm struck by how different it looks in July 🤩 compared to the "June gloom"...

And that concludes our #kitp program on biomolecular condensates 😢 Wow, what an *incredible* experience, and unique place to learn and think and grow! 🤓

Took us until the end of Week 5 to take a group picture 🤦‍♀️, so we're missing a number of key participants. But what a wonderful group of thoughtful and creative people to talk science with! Thanks for joining us at #KITP! 🤓

Congratulations to postdoc Omid Gholamalamdari for presenting his work on nucleolar 💧 subcompartmentalization in C. elegans 🪱 at @csmb-scbm.bsky.social 👏

Thanks to the organizers for giving him this opportunity!
For the third talk in this session @csmb-scbm.bsky.social, we're hearing more about intrinsically disordered regions in the nucleolus from Omid Gholamalamdar, a postdoc in the Weber lab @weber-lab.bsky.social

It's finally here! After almost 3 years of planning, I'm thrilled to discover the literal and figurative blue skies @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social

@jerelleaj.bsky.social, @zwickergroup.bsky.social, Frank Jülicher and I will kick off our program on biomolecular condensates next week!
