1/n: How slowly can life progress? It’s obvious that cells cannot duplicate in a nanosecond. But is there a limit to how slowly cell's life can progress without stopping? We answered this for budding yeast by decreasing temperature [movie of yeast at 1 C]: https://t.co/hJZIFooGsn

Why are some non-antibiotic drugs toxic to bacteria 💊☠️🦠? Do they work like standard #antibiotics (ABX)? Our latest work by @MarianaNoto published @ScienceMagazine addresses this fundamental question (1/n)

It's official. Thanks to the MIRA grant, my lab gets to live to fight another day (or five years!). We are now actively recruiting. Spread the word, and reach out if you are interested in doing a postdoc with me. One position is available jointly with Terry Hwa's lab. Exciting!

New manuscript from former @MitacsCanada student Mathis and postdoc Jannik! Analyzes the role of information flow in a model two-component molecular motor.

A joy of being a PI is learning from "trainees". I learned so much from Diederik. I'm immensely proud and privileged to have been associated with this remarkable scientist. These two papers describe his work [2/2]:

Congrats to Diederik Laman Trip, our lab's former student, for receiving 2023 APS PhD-thesis prize in biological physics! (@ApsDbio @APSphysics ) [1/2] https://t.co/K0BGucVo56

What if we could learn cellular automata models of biological pattern formation directly from data? New preprint by Alex Richardson, Tibor Antal, @DrAlgernon, and myself: https://t.co/9HyRRmz3Os

@ShlezingerLab Stay safe, Neta.

It turns out that sparkling water and raisins are *fascinating*. My daughter and I happened upon this effect playing together in the kitchen a long time ago, and I couldn't help but explore the system more deeply... 1/n https://t.co/wNBX7nnGJS

Interested in quantitative biology of microbial behavior and information processing? We are looking for postdocs, PhD students, and research assistants. Pls spread the word!

Great postdoc program at an amazingly collaborative intellectual environment. Speaking from personal experience. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

@BarkaiLab We found that this mechanism can lead to higher specificity and faster search, and analyze the "design principles" involved. Work led by Wencheng Ji @wencheng__ji, in collaboration with Ori Hachmo and Naama Barkai.

[Ariel Amir @Ariel_4321]

Motivated by experiments in the Barkai lab @BarkaiLab on the role of Intrinsically Disordered Regions in the search process in eukaryotes, we considered the search process of a *polymer* with multiple, weak bindings to a region flanking the target site on the DNA.

Opportunities to work with an exceptional quantitative biologist, who speaks both theoretical and experimental languages

[Wei-Hsiang Lin @WeiHsiangLin3]

Our group (at Taipei, Taiwan) is looking for postdoc and research assistant! If you are interested in Q-bio, nonlinear physics or cellular modeling, please contact us: [https://t.co/yhS5sKXq1I] [https://t.co/tRLef3Hicz]

@arjunrajlab But if twitter existed in the 90s or early 2000s, do you think levitating frogs, grasshoppers, and vegetables would've attracted similar level of interest in diamagnetism? :-)

Long-read RNA-seq promises to revolutionize RNA biology with  id'ing and quantifying full-length mRNA isoforms. However, be wary of read quality and interpretation. A tweetorial on our new preprint (1/6): https://t.co/v2AjbBcEdy #RNAseq #LongReadSequencing 🧬🔬
