Pressé Lab

It’s been 30 yrs since Zwanzig’s “non-eq stat mech” As written, it has solidified the notion that theory develops models, and MD (perhaps) should be left to parametrize. Maybe it’s time to re-pitch the work using functional integrals & tie this formulation to likelihoods :)

@librarythingtim Weight a second…

Six years since the greatest Google-Translate Latin motto: Plumbum, Credo, Inspire best translated as "The metal lead, I believe, inspirjb."

Given the quality of recent reviews, as a matter of principle, every revision letter should start with: “We thanks Editors, Reviewers, and GPT for their feedback”

@LocasaleLab I guess he becomes vice chairman post-mortem?

When is it ok to invoke a small Reynolds number approximation in finite temperature fluids? For spatially correlated fluids, curiously the answer is…never? 🧐 arxiv.org/html/2601.0516… #fluids #fluidphysics @ASU @ASUPhysics

@chiaolun thought you might enjoy this ;)

A bit of an emotional pic. A Silbey lab reunion of sorts in Honolulu. L2R: ⁦@LabPresse⁩, Jaeyoung Sung, Yuen-Chung Cheng, YoonJoon Jung, Alex Tkachenko. Haven’t seen some people in ~20 yrs 😢

Happy to be @AmerChemSociety #pacifichem with L2R Banu Ozkan, Jaeyoung Sung, Matthias Heyden, and @LabPresse for our joint @ArizonaState Center for Biological Physics - Chung Ang GCSC symposium. Especially happy about Mai Tai’s 🍹

Our latest @JChemPhys selected as highlight. Our title communicates it all :) “A cautious user’s guide in applying HMMs to physical systems” pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/articl…

@ASUPhysics is searching for a new Chair. If interested please apply & feel free to contact me with questions. We seek, foremost, a leader & world-class scholar with a strong research record to inspire those around them. apply.interfolio.com/176489 #Physics @ASUResearch @ASU

Lab Halloween fun before lab reception for Weiqing Xu’s departure to the lab of @JonasRies We will miss you Weiqing!

Tracking has always been at the ❤️ of the scientific method, from planetary motion to single particles. Weiqing’s thesis intro on tracking was so beautiful we turned it into a perspective in JCP who then selected it as a #Scilight. Take a look! 😊 aip.org/scilights/trac…

@manorlaboratory Sadly, I was on an NIH panel (now postponed) evaluating some grants resubmitted… at 6th percentile. If people are resubmitting 6th percentile grants, we’re all in trouble.

News story our APS fellowship. A testament to the great people we work with (and the unwavering rigor of Bayesian approaches, impervious to hype) 😊 🙏 news.asu.edu/b/20251021-asu…

It’s an Honor to be named 2025 @APSphysics Fellow. 🙏 our lab members and collaborators. Citation: “For pioneering contributions to Bayesian method development in biological physics, particularly […] to imaging and single-molecule experiments.  #APSFellow

@stats_feed Reading Arabic

What is something that looks really impressive, but you can learn in under 1 hour?

The journey continues. UT Austin and Oden tomorrow and Friday. Here with Dima Makarov :) (Discussing Bach, Richter, Gould, Yuja Wang, and maybe some single molecule 😊)

Thanks to the CTBP for the wonderful invitation for a seminar at Rice! 🙏 Joining me are Tolya Kolomeisky and Oleg Igoshin.

@elonmusk Then you shouldn’t have taken the chainsaw to the NSF

We cannot understand the true nature of the Universe, unless we question deeply. I want to know what is real, even if the answer is total obliteration of my consciousness.

@musicandroots Bach, Schumann, Shostakovich (Only because writing Bach^3 would incorrectly be dismissed as a joke)
