Should have included the link describing Alma’s groundbreaking work on the cell cycle

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"...
Already looking forward to my next visit! 🌊🌴
So grateful to my co-coordinators, @zwickergroup.bsky.social, @jerelleaj.bsky.social, and Frank Jülicher, to all of the participants for sharing their knowledge and contributing to such open and stimulating discussions, and to everyone @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social for making our stay so comfortable. 🙏🙏🙏
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! 🤓
Embracing the true spirit of #KITP, @schmitbiophysics.bsky.social interrupts his powerpoint presentation with a derivation at the blackboard during his research talk ❤️🤓👨🏫
Check out the full talk here: online.kitp.ucsb.edu/online/biomo...
Great opportunity!
Thanks to all the speakers, poster presenters, session chairs, and #KITP staff for making this conference a rousing success 🙌
Check out the links below to see the talks!
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!
Welcome to the Biological Physics of Biomolecular Condensates: Bridging Theory and Experiment (#biomol-c25) Conference at #KITP

If you are unable to attend in person or want to revisit any talks, recorded sessions are available to watch at: buff.ly/ufXjSxG 🧪
Great to welcome more people to this incredible place. Exciting opportunities to bridge theory and experiments! 🤓
@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
Check out the video of Shura's Blackboard talk 💧👨🏫
I have discovered the Tower Room @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social ... and I may never leave 😍🌊🌴
Shura Grosberg (NYU) gives a fantastic blackboard talk @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social on liquid-liquid phase separation in and out of equilibrium 👨🏫
Congratulations, Ethan, Ian, Daniel, and Caroline! 🎓🎉👏
David @zwickergroup.bsky.social gives the first tutorial of the biomol25 program @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social, reminding us that phase equilibria and chemical equilibria are coupled by thermodynamics
Congratulations to postdoc Omid Gholamalamdari for presenting his work on nucleolar 💧 subcompartmentalization in C. elegans 🪱 at @csmb-scbm.bsky.social 👏
Thanks to the organizers for giving him this opportunity!
Made it to Santa Barbara 😎
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!
