What controls whether cells - or clusters of cells - break off from an invading cancerous front? New preprint from my group in collaboration with the Konstantopoulos group @KKLabJHU , led by @wwang721 https://t.co/Gu1aPN2nI9

[Yuan He @YuanHeJHU]

Excited to relocate my lab to @JohnsHopkins and join as a @JHU_BDPs! We are actively recruiting at all levels—seeking talented scientists passionate about cracking the codes of the epigenome. Let’s push the frontiers of transcription, DNA repair, and structural biology together!

[Brian Camley @diffusiveblob]

If you're interested in a PhD in biophysics (broadly defined), consider Johns Hopkins. Our Jenkins program (Dec 1 deadline) has folks working on CryoEM structures, computational modeling, single-molecule biophysics, and lots more! https://t.co/LfsmvPPFqf

[BPPB Seminar @BppbSeminar]

Please join BPPB on Friday Nov 8 at 11 US Eastern for a tutorial ("Holographic microscopy to track bacterial motility in 3D") and talk ("Bacterial upstream swimming in complex fluids") by Arnold Mathijssen @AJTM_M. For more info please visit https://t.co/M3vQcEQkQB.

Late on advertising this, but if you're in the neighborhood of Penn, I'll be giving a seminar there this Monday, talking about our work on cells sensing electric fields as well as footprint interactions: https://t.co/YO6LJWfRFf

[Brian Camley @diffusiveblob]

@orzelc OK - will pass along the ad and let you decide on the fit! Thanks!

[John Wallingford @jbwallingford]

Delighted to share my latest #devbiol story ⁦@NautilusMag⁩. This one’s about James Bond, cilia, and the wondrously complex interplay of embryos and people. https://t.co/h9CdIafnfJ

[Wallace Marshall @WallaceUcsf]

I wanted to announce our Focus Session on Physical Forces in Wound Healing and Regeneration, which I'm co-organizing with @TangSindy at the APS 2025 March Meeting (March 16-21, 2025, in Anaheim, CA) (1/n)

@CAS_ReproLab Bill was an interesting guy - I am not sure whether he would be flattered or irritated by this being the first line of his obituary.

[Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson]

A physicist is anyone who transforms as a physicist when operated on by the Nobel committee

[Demian Levis @demian_levis]

The #NobelPrize in Physics acknowledging (once again) that Physics is not “only” about materials, subatomic particles, etc. it is also about machine learning, neuroscience, ecology … Statistical mechanics in action! and we have many challenges still ahead!

[Brian Camley @diffusiveblob]

@p_r_francois You could maybe make a case for Hodgkin-Huxley but otherwise, totally agreed! Very exciting!

[Vince Buffalo @vsbuffalo]

Nature is surprised academic lineages coalesce if you go back far enough 😂

This is yet another example of something that appears surprising and informative, but it’s actually just a lack of a useful null model being specified.

Want to highlight again - JHU Biophysics is searching for a computation/theory person. I think JHU is a great environment, and the department is quite supportive of new faculty and friendly - I highly encourage people to apply, and please contact me if you have questions.

[Brian Camley @diffusiveblob]

Want to join JHU Biophysics? We're searching for a theoretical/computational biophysicist (any rank): https://t.co/Dc0dN30Uag

@ZS_biophys OK that makes more sense, I didn't do the math myself :shame:
