iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Excited to see this project finally come together 🥳 I used the timing of nucleolar assembly at the 8-cell stage as an assay for concentration-dependent phase separation (doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...), but could never explain why they don't appear at the 4-cell stage. Now we know!! 🤓

Congratulations (and thank you) to Prof. Nicole King (@berkeleymcb.bsky.social) for her fascinating Alma Howard Lecture @biomcgill.bsky.social 🎉🤩👩‍🔬 She shared new data on the secret (sex) lives of choanoflagellates and their implications for the evolution of mating and multicellularity in animals 🦠

Back in Montreal, wistfully going back through photos from #kitp 🥹 I'm sure the Tower Room is spectacular in every season, but I'm struck by how different it looks in July 🤩 compared to the "June gloom"...

And that concludes our #kitp program on biomolecular condensates 😢 Wow, what an *incredible* experience, and unique place to learn and think and grow! 🤓

Took us until the end of Week 5 to take a group picture 🤦‍♀️, so we're missing a number of key participants. But what a wonderful group of thoughtful and creative people to talk science with! Thanks for joining us at #KITP! 🤓

Lively poster session after a day full of talks (😅) by @drummondlab.bsky.social, Allie Obermeyer, @albertilab-tud.bsky.social, Sam Safran, and @tanjamittag.bsky.social at the #KITP biomol25 conference on biomolecular condensates. Great conversations between theorists and experimentalists!

@jerelleaj.bsky.social, master painter 👩🏽‍🎨 of the blackboard 👩🏽‍🏫, in action! 🤩 She is amazing at capturing the essence of our complex, meandering (and sometimes contentious) discussions @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social

It's finally here! After almost 3 years of planning, I'm thrilled to discover the literal and figurative blue skies @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social @jerelleaj.bsky.social, @zwickergroup.bsky.social, Frank Jülicher and I will kick off our program on biomolecular condensates next week!
