Actin directly interacts with vimentin intermediate filaments, enhancing both actin polymerization and nucleation! Fantastic experiments done by @lilianpaty.bsky.social with @romet-jegou-lab.bsky.social, now backed by our theory.

🧪 Geometry beats chemistry: we show that self-assembly can be controlled by tuning large-scale geometric parameters rather than molecular binding energies.

Thanks to the organizers of @intcha.bsky.social, featuring fascinating research and a lot of space for stimulating discussions among young scientists. Can recommend :)
I'm also thrilled to have received my first poster prize for "measuring frustration in #self-assembly" 👨🔬
Illustration of two people, one holding a large pencil, the other walking along a path of diverging arrows. Hedline is "Rules all PIs should follow."
#NextGenSci asked young scientists to write a rule that all principal investigators should be required to follow to improve the experience of young scientists in their lab.
Check out their answers on #NationalHigherEducationDay: scim.ag/45zsFEr

Today and every day: Let’s commit to empowering women, ensuring that their voices are heard and their work is valued – in science and society.
Together, we can create a more equitable future for women all around the world!

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics.
At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me.

I would love to be added as well. Thanks!
Hi Physgal,
I just startet my PhD in Theoretical Physics at LPTMS.

I would love to be added to the science/physics feed. Thank you so much!
Starting a theoretical biophysics starter pack, feel free to (self-) nominate, I’ll keep updating this in the next days/weeks!
