During our stay at @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social last year, we discussed where the condensate field stands and where it should go next. Those discussions became a Roadmap for Condensates in Cell Biology! Thanks to @zwickergroup.bsky.social for driving the effort! journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...

Making a vacuole increases interfacial area, which should be costly. So why do they show up everywhere? Turns out a single mechanism explains it. A true team effort with the excellent @pranayjaiswal.bsky.social 🫧

🎉 Our paper "Harvesting chemical power from cyclic environments" is out in PRR! We show how cyclic environments can drive chemical reactions away from equilibrium to harvest chemical power, possibly kickstarting life's origin? 🧬⚡ w/ @m-pol.bsky.social journals.aps.org/prresearch/a...

Excited to share our new PRL on excitable active droplets 🎉 We show that droplets maintained far from equilibrium behave as an excitable system and can undergo self-sustained cycles of formation and dissolution 🔥 Link: doi.org/10.1103/g9dh... w/ @m-pol.bsky.social @boekhovenlab.bsky.social

Very happy to have passed my PhD defence 🎓 Huge thanks to my supervisor, @m-pol.bsky.social, the committee, colleagues, collaborators, and everyone I’ve met over the last four years who made the journey possible ❤️🙏

Like condensates, ideas and discussion only nucleate under the right conditions. Huge thanks to the organizers and participants of Principles Shaping Biomolecular Condensates @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social for an incredible month of fantastic conditions!
