When invited to review a manuscript, I decline. Then I am asked why I am declining. Seems like personal information and I need to add this meme.

Excited to share our latest work on how protein shape regulates multilayered condensates at synapses!
We show that the length of CaMKII plays a key role in determining the shape and organization of condensates.

In my latest column for Science magazine, I discuss recent AI "reasoning" models -- how it works, to what extent it captures "genuine" reasoning processes, and what's needed to answer such questions.
