How to tell complex stories in an engaging way: Leonid A. Klimov takes up Nature Marsilius Visiting Professorship for Science Communication at Heidelberg University www.uni-heidelberg.de/en/newsroom/...
We are not being asked to sit in a trench. We are not being asked to sign a document that will get us hanged. We are being asked to stay engaged. That's it. After 250 years of Americans dying for this idea, that's all we owe. I wrote about it here.

New preprint in which we built and simulated full-length models of α-Synuclein fibrils to reveal how the fuzzy coat mediates selective binding of peptides to amyloid fibrils
Work led by Carlos Pintado-Grima in a nice collaboration with Salvador Ventura's lab

Excited to share our joint efforts on the ratioCitron biosensor platform! 🔬✨

Norito Tamura @mpiage.bsky.social from my lab enabled ratiometric citrate measurements in flow cytometry for population-scale, single-cell analysis.
Our #UExM efforts with @gautamdey.bsky.social & @moorefound.bsky.social featured in @nature.com this month.
Beyond the #science, every image is a thing of beauty.
I think a world-tour exhibition has to happen at one point.
#Expansion #Microscopy
It is exciting to see closely related biology highlighted in a recent Science paper as well, underscoring the importance of this field. science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Nice white butter cream cake with an image in the middle of a blue cartoon figure with blood shot eyes, an academic hat and the text: ‘you did it’
Today’s tasteful celebratory cake of a successfully defended PhD thesis … congrats Aga!

Want to join #EESMicrotubules on site at EMBL Heidelberg? Then register by 6 May: s.embl.org/ees26-09-bl
This event brings together both early-career and established researchers from around the world who share an interest in microtubule biology and its relevance to human health and disease.
CenSpark is out !
Congrats Gönczy team et al.

Sunset over a wetland, through smoke from distant rangeland seasonal burns.
Smoky sunset over Baker Wetlands in Lawrence, Kansas, USA this evening. We were looking for King Rail birds that have been heard there recently. We heard maybe two, but, like everyone else, didn’t see them.
Pleasure to welcome Patrick Cramer to SMART and to present our research and discuss future directions. Cooperation between Max Planck Society @maxplanck.de and institutions in Shenzhen is expanding and will open new opportunities. As Patrick concluded in German, “Jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne”.
Happy Golgi Day
We are looking for a human MALAT1 overexpression plasmid.
Does any of you kind people have it?
This is .wild. !
Shannon tells truth! Always and today.

“Toad, Toad,” shouted Frog, “wake up. It is spring!”
Starry nights. With @burnsajohn.bsky.social @schmidtocean.bsky.social
Wow 👇
ChromSMF preprint is out!🚀
tinyurl.com/ChromSMF
We often piece together chromatin regulation layer by layer from separate assays. But this can be limiting!
In @arnaudkr.bsky.social's lab, we developed a method to directly study multiple layers on the same DNA molecule! 🧬
What does this unlock? ⬇️
Finally published at long last (at least in the pre-view version). Explore the wild and woolly world of archaeal histones! Interactive archaeal histone graph incluced rdcu.be/fdFjv. Congratulations to first author Shawn Laursen
