Only two days (extended deadline: Jan 9) left to submit your abstract for a short talk at RIKEN BDR Symposium 2023. We will explore transitions in biological systems in topics ranging from genome, mechanics, cell state, metabolism to behavior. tinyurl.com/2ftmv4w4 Please RT.

Very excited to share the latest work from our lab, led by great postdoc @AntoineVian. We developed a new technique to measure osmotic pressure directly in vivo and in situ, within living tissues. Check out the 🧵 below or the preprint in the link here ➡️biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

So, you still think that the N/C ratio cannot be changed? Come the see @TLPyriden poster P1303 Sunday #CellBio2022 @fredchanglab. We'll prove you wrong!

Our new paper is out! Mass density is tightly regulated in cultured cells which is consistent with our previous observations in animal cells in vivo. Its regulatory mechanism and function are open questions. We’ll try to crack it soon! frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Dear trainees, two emails is not stalking. If you write to a PI requesting something and they don’t get back to you within a reasonable time frame (say 1-2 weeks) please don’t hesitate to contact them again. They may have meant to but forgot. 1/

Congrats to Yee-Hung Mark Chan for this insightful article in NCB that includes his personal perspective on “the importance of being open and proud of my identity as a gay cell biologist.”
We celebrate Pride Month by proudly presenting to you our first World View: Dr. Chan provides his perspective on the meaning of Pride, ongoing challenges and progress towards LGBTQIA+ acceptance. PDF: rdcu.be/cP08F nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

Representation matters: The need for LGBTQ+ to be part of the minority conversation -- an ASCB Newsletter article by @brunodra #pride ascb.org/publications-column…
Congrats to @MolinesArthur and @rikkigarner for the great opportunity to organize a session on this exciting field.
If you have a story that changes the way we think about the cytoplasm, submit an abstract for a talk at our @ASCBiology 2022 Special Interest Subgroup session "Physical Biology of the Cytoplasm". Trainees and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply!

As pride month is about to begin I want to call out all LGBTQ+ scientists reply to this thread with - Name and Pronouns - Field - A picture of yourself - Hobbies outside of science - A random Fact about yourself Follow each other and find new interesting people and tag others!

What happens when you allow your postdoc to go to a MBL course on modeling. Big congrats to @MolinesArthur and @rikkigarner from Theriot lab for developing this intriguing new story on heterogeneity of the cytoplasm. Will it change how we think about diffusion in cells?
Think the cytoplasm is well-mixed? Think again. In my latest work with @MolinesArthur and @fredchanglab we found the apparent viscosity of the cytoplasm may vary up to 100-fold (!) within individual cells, and 10-fold (!) between cells. A thread: (1/8) biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…
