"Why does the brain need billions of neurons to process 10 bits/second? Why can we only think about one thing at a time?"

Thrilled to share a new approach to viral diagnostics using mechanical transduction. Here we use DNA motors to "feel" viruses -with sensitivity down to the single virus level. @Selma_Pi @salaitalab @EmoryChem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Mechanically-triggered drug release! Congratulations to @arventhv and other members of @salaitalab! We create DNA capsules that release their payload at specific force levels applied by cells adhesion receptors. @EmoryUniversity @EmoryChem #salaitalabnews
Check out DNA mechanocapsules for programmable piconewton responsive drug delivery. Congrats Arventh and team!

We're in the 40th day of one of the most influential revolutions in history.
When the Islamic Republic falls, from Iran to Ukraine, the world will become a better place to live in.
The world must cut ties with IR and support the Iranians in every way possible.

If you're a professor or a student in STEM in a Western country, you probably know someone from the Sharif University of Technology in Iran. They might have be your students, peers, or friends.
That university is now under attack by the Islamic Republic.

Those who see this as a western coup (which has and do occur sometimes) need to see these and understand that these are real people, not paid stooges. We (the US&UK) DID pay stooges in 1953 to overthrow Iranian democracy. This ain’t that…even if this dovetails with US interests.
Roozbeh Khademi, 32, was shot and killed last night in Fardis, southern Alborz province.
In his last Instagram post (seen below) he wrote: "You stand behind... I will give my life for your freedom," referring to Iranian women. 💔 #Mahsa_Amini

Hananeh Kian was murdered last night by the Iranian government.
She was just 23-years-old.
The Iranian people need your public support now more than ever.

I stand in deep solidarity with my precious Iranian brothers and sisters fighting the terror and trauma of the oppressive and repressive Islamic regime in Iran. I have many lovely Iranian relatives who are struggling in this ugly situation! #زن_زندگی_آزادی

Just heard that Nadrian C. Seeman, the father of DNA nanotechnology is no more! Rest in peace Prof. Seeman. Your contribution to science will be remembered. Many of us start our presentation with this slide, it's so sad to hear he is no more.

We will miss Ned Seeman, founder of DNA Nanotechnology, who passed away at 75. as.nyu.edu/chemistry/news/fa…
