Excited to relocate my lab to @JohnsHopkins and join as a @JHU_BDPs! We are actively recruiting at all levels—seeking talented scientists passionate about cracking the codes of the epigenome. Let’s push the frontiers of transcription, DNA repair, and structural biology together!
Welcome Yuan He, who joins @JohnsHopkins as the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Structural Biophysics and Chromatin Biology. A celebrated biologist, He is joining the @JHUEpigenome BDP cluster. (1/4)

If you're interested in a PhD in biophysics (broadly defined), consider Johns Hopkins. Our Jenkins program (Dec 1 deadline) has folks working on CryoEM structures, computational modeling, single-molecule biophysics, and lots more! biophysics.jhu.edu/graduate/…

Late on advertising this, but if you're in the neighborhood of Penn, I'll be giving a seminar there this Monday, talking about our work on cells sensing electric fields as well as footprint interactions: bio.upenn.edu/events/2024/10…
Quick question - I may have someone to send you. Does your department think of biological physics as in the "soft/active matter" category?

Delighted to share my latest #devbiol story @NautilusMag. This one’s about James Bond, cilia, and the wondrously complex interplay of embryos and people. nautil.us/the-anatomical-qui…

I wanted to announce our Focus Session on Physical Forces in Wound Healing and Regeneration, which I'm co-organizing with @TangSindy at the APS 2025 March Meeting (March 16-21, 2025, in Anaheim, CA) (1/n)
Bill was an interesting guy - I am not sure whether he would be flattered or irritated by this being the first line of his obituary.

A physicist is anyone who transforms as a physicist when operated on by the Nobel committee

The #NobelPrize in Physics acknowledging (once again) that Physics is not “only” about materials, subatomic particles, etc. it is also about machine learning, neuroscience, ecology … Statistical mechanics in action! and we have many challenges still ahead!
BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Nature is surprised academic lineages coalesce if you go back far enough 😂
This is yet another example of something that appears surprising and informative, but it’s actually just a lack of a useful null model being specified.

Want to highlight again - JHU Biophysics is searching for a computation/theory person. I think JHU is a great environment, and the department is quite supportive of new faculty and friendly - I highly encourage people to apply, and please contact me if you have questions.
Want to join JHU Biophysics? We're searching for a theoretical/computational biophysicist (any rank): biophysics.jhu.edu/2024/09/1…
I think this might be amino acid (monomer) numbers, not protein numbers? Bionumbers gives different values but does also suggest ~mM total protein concentrations for many cell types: book.bionumbers.org/how-many…
