A reminder from Jacques Dubochet: humanity has the capability to love each other, despite our differences.
Dubochet was awarded the 2017 chemistry prize for the development of cryo-electron microscopy.

In the 1930s Arne Tiselius developed a method called electrophoresis, to separate different substances from one another. It has become an important tool in chemical analysis.
The picture shows a diagram from Tiselius' Nobel Prize lecture.

Recently published in MBoC
A study in E. coli shows that the outer membrane lipoprotein DolP localizes to the division site through anionic phospholipid-mediated diffusion-state switching, revealing a lipid-based mechanism for coordinating cell division.

Scientific breakthroughs don’t happen in isolation.
Even Nobel laureates rely on their community.
Marty Chalfie continues to attend Cell Bio because it strengthens his science—and his connections.
