What is the role of emergence and broken symmetries in biological complexity? Why is quantum mechanics not enough to explain biology? Check this paper by Michael Stumpf @theosysbio, on the classic paper by @sfiscience Phil Anderson on "More is different" https://t.co/uDFVNNcsxB

Top 10 Manu Prakash teachings from his amazing episode of the Night Science Podcast.
1. Science is a sense of wonder; a personal sense of experience.
2. Science gives us increasing agency; you realize it’s like a car you drive with no roads.

Single-dose of TIPs reduced viral load in monkeys and predicted to lower HIV load below @WHO recommended transmission threshold!

Delighted to have contributed #MathematicalModeling with an amazing team @FathimaPitchai, @gusvasen, Clara, @LeorWeinberger, and collaborators!

Single-dose administration! Escape resistant! Establishes latency!

#Engineered TIPs from the #Emerged Defective Interfering Particles (DIPs) – a potential for the functional cure of HIV! Works in mice and monkeys!

30 Essays to Make You Love Biology

Day 7. "Biology is more theoretical than physics," by Jeremy Gunawardena.

It is often said "that biology is not theoretical," but that's not true. This essay gives examples where theory preceded & informed major discoveries. A must-read.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

"One of the most important things as a scientist is that you have to be an optimist. If you’re a pessimist, a failed experiment will tell you that the whole idea is bad and you’ll quit. When you fail you have to continue."

- chemistry laureate Richard Henderson's advice.

Scientists have developed a new weapon against HIV: a molecular mimic that invades a cell and steals essential proteins from the virus. After promising results in monkeys, scientists plan to test the new treatment in a few people. https://t.co/O6TxOJMgml

@AthaleLab Thanks @AthaleLab, it continues to be one of my favorites!

Dynein, a molecular motor capable of transporting cargo within a cell, generates wave-like oscillations in microtubules in a purified synthetic system, researchers in @IISERPune. This knowledge could help engineer better nanodevices.
