A PhD is a strange moment because while most people in your life think you're an overachiever, you feel like a total imposter who is making no progress.😅🎓 #PhD #phdchat #phdvoice #phdlife #phdstudent #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phd

We just posted V2 of our @biorxivpreprint! mRNA condensation fluidizes the cytoplasm More beautiful figures, and improved text. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New @bioRxiv preprint! tinyurl.com/mr4yxsxb @Ying_Xie_ found that polysome collapse & mRNA condensation fluidizes the cytoplasm. This helps assembly of another membraneless stress organelle: Q-bodies! P-bodies and SGs tune the physical properties of the cytoplasm! RT plz!

ALT optoPUM, a new optogenetic tool to drive mRNA condensation. Blue light turned on at t0.

Oh, Berlin, there was much fuzz about nothing, as it seems: Grunt not roar: Berlin lioness is likely a wild boar. What so aptly applies for working on a thesis: always fact check 🤓 DW News youtu.be/xiZ0U3vgyIo via @YouTube #phdchat #phdlife #Berlin #sommerloch

#SciTwitter when I put together a scientific paper I like to storyboard it (figures and legends mostly, maybe a bit more methods detail where needed to help me follow the logic). Are there good software tools to do this? Bonus points for free or open tools!

Replying to @NikoMcCarty
This paper had a big impact on me. I think what was powerful was to be able to SEE the oscillation on my computer screen. It brought home the idea that biology is a REAL THING that we can engineer. I'm getting a lot of Synbio nostalgia right now. Please keep em coming.

Big news in the synthetic biology world. Perfect Day dumps its consumer brand, Urgent Company, with Brave Robot ice cream and Modern Kitchen cream cheese. I guess people weren't so urgent to buy those products. #gmo #syntheticbiology nosh.com/news/2023/perfect-d…
