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!
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!

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.
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!

@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!
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

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
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!

🚨 JOB CALL!!! 🚨
If you’re interested in neuronal cell biology, come and work with us to use custom imaging and omics tools to study organelle contact sites in neurons.
Please RT friends‼️
Open calls for a @wellcometrust funded Post doc and RA position listed below…
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.
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.
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

🚨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."
