Demis -- I think AlphaFold3 is really exciting. As Reviewer #3, I got great results from the server. I tried hard to get @Nature to urge you to release the code but was unsuccessful. I did not get it for re-review so I don't know if you responded. So why no code? @GoogleDeepMind

Alright everybody, what will undoubtedly forever be the lab's strangest discovery is now out in Nature. It's a protein that evolved to self-assemble into a Sierpinski fractal. nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/n

Come join us! Great environment with many exciting projects available! 🤗😃⬇️

we are hiring! If you are interested in working in biophysics, in projects about bacteria, mechanics, biofilms, bacterial energetics, or red blood cells check our current openings for postdoc, PhD, and lab technician in our group. more details : physmechbio.com/hiring

Very grateful and humbled to be a 2023 Impulscience laureate. Thank you, @Fondation_BS, and thanks to my team and CBS for the support. Interested in joining the effort to uncover the mechanisms of bacterial biofilm nucleation? Get in touch!

It's evident that Earth is finally developing a planetary flagellar motor to push itself on a better orbit

@OGdukeneurosurg I see in that spiraling a nice snapshot of "excitable waves", as in the heart, non linear chemical reactions (Belusov-Zhabotinski, MinDE proteins...). And it may be well the case : downloads.hindawi.com/journals/cmmm/…

Patient presents with this beautiful but very concerning skin finding that progresses at a rapid rate ~1cm a day. Anyone know? Source JAAD

A great work by Anais Biquet-Bisquert, Baptiste Carrio, Nathan Meyer, Thales F.D. Fernandes, Manouk Abkarian, Farida Seduk, @Magalon_lab , and @AshleyLNord

Cable theory explains it well, both for neurons and bacteria. Given the size of bacteria (um), this should mean that local variations of the PMF are globally experienced everywhere on the membrane, in few ms.

New preprint! Cells produce and consume voltage and ionic currents. In bacteria, the proton motive force (~100 mV) is generated by respiration complexes, and used by many mechanisms. Among them, two nano-rotary motors: ATP synthase and flagellar motor. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My lab works on the evolution of the proteins that enable microbial life. We resurrect ancient proteins and study their properties. If that sounds interesting to you, apply here - we are recruiting!

Yesterday I circulated a plot I made about ERC grantees. I made a horrible mistake: I mistook Ireland (IE) for Israel (IL). The data concern Israel and **not Ireland**. Also, data covers 12 largest ERC host countries. I apologize. Here is the correct plot.
