As a final note, we point out the advantages of membrane binding and self-assembly over simpler passive mechanisms, chief among them being precise thresholding and magnitude of response.

[Sam Foley @PhysFoley]

I’m excited to finally share our new preprint! Membrane-associated assembly processes like CME function as precisely-tunable, spatially targetable, robust on/off switches that don’t require energy at decision-time.

[Sam Foley @PhysFoley]

The real kicker, though: In order for this switching mechanism to be robust and functional, the component concentrations and affinities need to be tuned into fairly precise ranges. We find that evolution has done exactly that for the components of the endocytic machinery!

@AlexanderRKlotz I quite like it when a seminar opens by going through the most relevant textbook-level problem to make sure everyone is on the same page

MIssouri voters voting for abortion rights, an increase in the minimum wage, and paid sick leave, and a senator and a president who strongly oppose these things is where we are in a nutshell

Are we ready to talk about the election models being worse than in 2016?

This template can also be recycled by swapping out "Vote cast" for "Grant application submitted"

[Sam Foley @PhysFoley]

Vote cast, all I gotta do now is wait. That's the easy part, right?

@adad8m Don't be so negative

[Sam Foley @PhysFoley]

Something feels off here...

@thomasahle @AdrienCorenflos @qberthet Saying this looks like magic after posting a thread of what look like a sorcerer's glyphs is at least a little bit funny

It is so strange to see Trump campaigning in the tiny city I grew up outside of multiple times in the month before the election

[Julia Terruso @JuliaTerruso]

Pennsylvania the day before the Election:
2 pm - Trump, Reading
4 pm - Harris, Allentown
6 pm - Trump, Pittsburgh
8:30 pm - Harris, Pittsburgh
8:30 pm - Vance, Newtown
11 p.m. - Harris, Philly

Anyone in my Twitter sphere going to the Mid Atlantic Soft Matter Workshop at U Delaware later this month?

And a reminder to everyone using scipy's curve_fit routine, you must pass absolute_sigma=True to get a legitimate parameter covariance matrix out
