With six presentations from @waynestatephys, #BPS2023 concluded with an excellent poster presentation from Shahnaz. Stimulating conversation and new collaborations for everyone!

@Rachid_Thiam @NatureComms @IkonenLab @AgenceRecherche Calvin's talk yesterday at BPS was great too! Congratulations.

Our latest collaborative study in @NatureComms with @IkonenLab and IVattulainen reveals that #cholesterol ester forms supercooled #lipiddroplet through seipin-sequestered triglycerides. 🙏🏾@AgenceRecherche and all authors for their hard work. #lipidtime. nature.com/articles/s4146…

What a great bowling party with current, past, and maybe future lab members!

Sonali's development of a four-color fluorescence cross-correlation method that uses only one laser and one camera is not available on the BioRxiv! Good job, Sonali! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Want to fluorescently detect acyl-CoAs or ABHD5 ligands in real-time with subcellular localization? Our new publication has the tool for you. "A FRET sensor for the real-time detection of long chain acyl-CoAs and synthetic ABHD5 ligands" doi.org/10.1016/j.crme…

Congratulations to Dr. Ramesh Tripathi on an excellent PhD defense today!! @PM_Hoffmann

Congratulations, Dr. Sonali Gandhi, on an excellent dissertation defense! Well done!

Great job with the New and Notable, Sonali! It was our pleasure to highlight the excellent paper, "GM1 asymmetry in the membrane stabilizes pores" by the @DimovaLab doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.… doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.…

Great job, Zoe and Trey! You excellently represented the lab at your Med-Direct Summer Social.

We're happy to provide a physics and imaging expertise to understand of the formation of cilia in sperm with Zhibing Zhang and Paul Stemmer over the next five years! today.wayne.edu/medicine/news/…

@MikeLangePhD Mostly it comes down to preparing the coverslip surface with surfactant and plasma cleaning. Nothing fancy. The Tag is applied first and then buffer is added. The droplet caps are stuck well enough for long term imaging and buffer exchange. More details to be published soon!

@CVKellyLab Wow! This looks absolutely stunning! How did you get the droplets immobilized on a cover slip?

Happy to be welcomed into this great community of lipid droplet researchers at #LDSRC22. A broken leg won't slow us down.

And making friends who also play too hard, but still make science a priority, with @LaurenUchiyama

Congratulations, Munirah, on your master's degree! @waynestatephys

Thanks, WSU for the Career Development Chair! To have a year to focus on research will be momentous!

What a nice end-of-the-semester lunch with the lab. Grateful to have these fantastic colleagues.

Want to learn more about the coupling of lipid phase separation, nanoscale membrane curvature, and single-lipid diffusion? We have the paper for you! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @JavanainenM @waynestatephys @WayneStateCLAS @waynestate

Sonali did a great job presenting at #bps2022 for the @BiophysicalSoc in San Francisco. She is will additionally be representing @waynestatephys, @WayneStateCLAS, and @WSUResearch at the graduate student competition shortly. Way to go, Sonali!

May I invite you to a fun thread about a delightful quirk of relativity theory? Starting with a simple fact about rotations, I’ll hope to give you some intuition about something that’s considered wildly counterintuitive: velocity addition. Intrigued? Buckle up!

Membrane biophysicists wanted! Post-baccs, PhD students, and post-docs are all encouraged to apply. We have a great, interdisciplinary team and long-term funding. Read more here: cvkelly.wayne.edu/openings
