[Matti Javanainen @JavanainenM]

A new preprint on lipid dynamics in MD simulations!

Initially planned as a multidisciplinary work with @SChiantia, we eventually split it into 2 manuscripts:

Computational part (out today): https://t.co/vVqZ4AwQDC
Experimental part (also fairly fresh!): https://t.co/aPf55PEClS

@GiancarloAbis @PiiaBartos I don't see the public shaming if the names and experiment details are not visible. Apart from the "fail" hashtag, no shaming and maybe a useful way to discuss possible problems before, rather than after publishing. This said, the journal might have clear guidelines against it...

Today our #DPGVirusSchool startet at the #Physikzentrum Bad Honnef. Great start into the week with amazing talks by Reidun Twarock on viral tiling theory, Michael Hagan from @HaganLab on capsid assembly, and @GolaniGonen on viral membrane fusion

If you have any doubts about the importance of lipid structure, here’s a good smack in the face

[María José García @Garcia__Majo]

Participate and help us spread the word about the 5th Annual Advanced Microscopy and Biophotonics workshop.

This year the Workshop has the presential participation of a large number of colleagues.

Do not miss it!!!

Really? Now with a NIR co-illumination, you can reduce photobleaching effects of FPs in ~1.5–9.2-fold, as well as the associated phototoxicity. https://t.co/ULFTdjdvWo

Last chance to apply: a rare permanent position in academia for someone with a microscopy background in the most liveable city in the world!

Lipid packing, protein dynamics and inner-leaflet surface charge of the plasma membrane are significantly altered during infection by Influenza A virus. We would be very thankful about feedback on this preprint manuscript.

In three months our Bad Honnef summer school will start on the physics of viruses. Great speakers & a large range of highly interesting subjects. Now is a good time to register ! https://t.co/A2wFW5bEoO

[Ilya Levental @LeventalLab]

Think lipids and phases are cool? What about coupling between protein and lipid phase separation from @HY12566255 ? Or supercooled lipid droplets from @Rachid_Thiam?

@SeeinClearly1 @AnhHLe2702 I agree. Assuming you have a mathematical model that reliably fits these curves (with a minimum amount of parameters), perform a fit. Then compare the obtained parameters, taking into account their confidence interval with e.g. 1way ANOVA
