What does it feel like in a cell? How do cells feel about being squished? Mental Health, SciComm, SciArt, Opinions my own.

Why is the NIH an incredible engine for scientific progress and U.S. biomedical leadership? $1 NIH spends--> $2.5 economic activity. Check out this fact sheet for more info: https://t.co/P9KdXwaxKg 🧵 1/4

I need to tell you all about the Toledo CellulART Symposium! This event combines science and art in a really unique way. It was a huge pleasure to present my #SciArt and connect with so many inspiring people! Many thanks to @RhoPower @AndoniMucci & the rest of the organizers!

[Liam Holt @LiamHoltLab]

This is a great opportunity! I interact with these folks a lot and its a wonderful community :)

Dear Twitter,

The NYU Biology and Physics Departments have a joint tenure-track position open. Please re-post and pass the info along to anyone that might be interested to apply!

Yes. Nanopublications ftw

[Elisabeth Bik @MicrobiomDigest]

I have been advocating a different way of doing science: publishing one figure at the time, and have other people critique and reproduce it.
From there, build stories.

[Alex Bisson @Archaeon_Alex]

I've been saying for the past 10y that I want a server (such as a preprint server) where people upload one exp. After iterations across labs, a "paper" is written by someone who was not part of the execution.

But how would we distribute Nobel prizes like that?

Excited to announce our latest publication from the amazing Ying Xie in @MolecularCell

We find that stress granules and P-bodies fluidize the cytoplasm in response to diverse stresses. Tweetorial soon!

[Liam Holt @LiamHoltLab]

@Ying_Xie_ found that polysome collapse and subsequent mRNA condensation leads to fluidization of the cytoplasm.

This helps Q-body stress organelles to assemble.

With @ProfGresham, @Tiewei_Liu

Could be a new function for P-bodies and stress granules!

[Liam Holt @LiamHoltLab]

Our paper is now out in it's final version @PRX_Life !

Condensate formation is favored by the active, crowded cytoplasm

[Liam Holt @LiamHoltLab]

Excited to announce our latest @biorxivpreprint!

Mesoscale molecular assembly is favored by the active, crowded cytoplasm

Tong Shu led the charge, with @ElevyLab, @glenhocky and @Gaurav6032

RT plz!

Tweetorial! 1/5

[Matthew C. Good @buenoscience]

A great opportunity to submit your work on cell growth control, cytoplasmic density regulation and organelle scaling to MBOC. Liam Holt @LiamHoltLab and I are editing this special issue. Manuscripts due October 2024

DM or Email me to discuss

Amazing new paper from @TheRojasLab! Congratulations to @maximohairwe

[Rojas Lab @TheRojasLab]

Dear Twitter,

@maximohairwe made a really cool paper on how an instability (bifurcation) the fitness landscape of fungal hyphae leads to a strict constraint on their shapes!

A cool profile of me in @CurrentBiology https://t.co/hDReEbdy4m
tl;dr: I describe one of my central beliefs – the importance of taking breaks from the lab to allow for creative scientific thought.

[Liam Holt @LiamHoltLab]

Incredibly grateful to the @Hypothesisfund for giving us this support! And thank you to the fund and @HarmitMalik for being such strong advocates for fundamental research. It is more important than ever to invest in discovery. We are excited to have this chance.

[Hypothesis Fund @Hypothesisfund]

3/ We're excited to support @liamholtlab on a new research direction to investigate how viruses survive & replicate by manipulating biophysical properties of cells. Cheers to this creative researcher for "going viral"😉. Congrats Dr. Holt! @nyugrossman
🙏 #HFScout @HarmitMalik

🚨New lab preprint: "We therefore propose a model for cytoskeletal evolution in which pools of microtubule network components constrain and guide the diversification of the entire network, so that the evolution of tubulin is inextricably linked to that of its binding partners."
