Aurélien Barbotin @abarbotin.bsky.social · 26/01/2026An interesting observation we made in the lab before I left : membrane fluidity in B. Subtilis (and other Gram+) has two operating regimes in response to a change in temperature: constant between 28°C, linearly increasing above. We thought it would be constant! doi.org/10.64898/202... 020

Aurélien Barbotin @abarbotin.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Trying to find an old classic paper that was discussing how in science changes of scale induce a change of the rules, e.g explaining that chemistry is not applied physics, biology is not applied chemistry etc. Does it ring a bell with anyone ? 000
Aurélien Barbotin @abarbotin.bsky.social · 22/11/2024A question for membrane folks: should I expect a change of 3-5% percent in unsaturated fatty acids affect membrane viscosity? It is typically what people measure in cold shocks in bacteria but I find strange that such a small change would have an important effect 000

![In 2015, researchers Limb, Limb, Limb and Limb found that British doctors have surnames related to their specialties more often than expected by chance. Reproductive medicine had the largest proportion, with 1 in 52 doctors having specialty-relevant surnames including Horn, Hussey, and Woodcock. Second was Urology, with 1 in 59 related names such as Burns, Waterfall, Ball, and Koch.[96] "Dr Pain" appeared most commonly in general surgery.[96]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreiddq3sctguxn4xgf4mfxyu43qh7e2htev3iktz5siwagfpdswfy3q)
