How do PIEZO2 channels open under tension? Our latest open access study published today: nature.com/articles/s4158…

@JerzySzablowski Amazing!!

Magnetosensing in birds, organ identified through scRNA seq science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Job alert! My lab is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study biophysical mechanisms of ion channel regulation and/or discover novel pharmacological modulators. DM if interested

@ElonMuskAOC Love the color😍

I just ordered 10 rose gold Teslas. I will be giving all of these away to followers tonight at 8pm PST! Like and comment to be entered into the raffle!

And here is one of the most pressing ones from today’s Stand up for Science in Trenton: “what do we want ? - Peer review !!! - when do we want it - Now !!!”

Fine, here we go. First let's start with some baseline expectations. Pancreatic cancer is scary, 5y survival is ~10%. So if you see a trial with an apparent survival asymptote at ~50% then certainly *something* is happening, right?

Join us this Saturday at the #BPS25 Membrane Transport Symposium! We have 11 outstanding speakers lined up to share their exciting research. #Biophysics #MembraneTransport"

@Charles_D_Cox Looks interesting. congrats!

First pre-print of 2025! Collaborative effort with the Martinac and Feneley labs looking at the long term impact of Piezo1 deletion on cardiac function. Some very cool data, particularly a link between atrial stretch-Piezo1 channels and ANP release!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are excited to announce the final program for our 2025 Symposium @BiophysicalSoc Annual Meeting. Please join us on Feb 15 to hear from these amazing speakers 👇Thanks to our generous sponsors @genentech @XenonPharma

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attack, where Islamist gunmen killed 12 people in response to the magazine's controversial cartoons. So, naturally, we should all share the cartoons on X, highlighting the importance of free speech and the right to satire.

@LNuzhna Has Science become woke?

Nature just published a piece on why probability doesn't exist. Lee Cronin said many times chemical reactions are not real. Your genetics professor probably confessed to you before that there are no genes. Biologists still disagree on whether cell types are even real. And we already discussed how there is no such thing as aging. This summarizes one of my favorite parts of doing science - the longer you stare at your cherished concept, the more it disintegrates and becomes non-existent. Seems to be a universal feeling - struggle to describe reality with words and numbers - experienced by many across fields.

@lisawb02 @CNviolations man you are so funny

@CNviolations Listen as a woman I hate purses. Can ever find shit in them so you guys can have them

Uhmm... masculine?

@RohacsTibor @MattGabrielleRU Congrats! Such a great defense!

Very well done thesis work and defense, Congrats Dr. Gabrielle ! @MattGabrielleRU

@MTGrepp Yes

Do you support the Owner of Peanut the Squirrel suing New York for millions for k*lling his pets ? YES or NO ?
