Lipid imaging on the cover of @nature.com! Great times for lipid cell biology indeed. And a fantastic recognition of all the hard work by the team, especially Juan M. Iglesias-Artola and Kristin Böhlig (who made the cover). Link to article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Im französischen Fernsehen haben sie den CSU-Chef Markus Söder analysiert - als "Gastro-Populisten". Und manchmal hilft der Blick von außen, um eine PR-Strategie besser zu verstehen. Sehenswert!

With painted cows and a perfect pasta sauce, ‘Ig Nobel’ winners claim glory

Some of the world’s most imaginative scientific minds have been celebrated at the Ig Nobel awards, which recognize discoveries that make people “laugh, then think.”

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Amazing!!! 🧪 The 2025 Ig Nobel prize goes to scientists from the @mpipks.bsky.social for discovering a bullet proof version to make the classic pasta alla cacio e pepe! Including a deep understanding of the pasta sauce in terms of phase separation physics 😃
Congrats @gbart.bsky.social et al!

This was my first paper with the new @elife.bsky.social model. Have to say, while I don't agree with all the reviewers' comments the new process is awesome. We can directly reply to their concerns and it'll be obvious what changed between revisions when we upload the revised version :) 4/4

We find that in a continuous model this arises through either a potential barrier (e.g. through electrostatics) or a trough in mobility, both of which have been experimentally observed! Stay tuned for our experimental work to link theory and experiments :) 3/4

Resistance arises across phase boundaries if the chemical potentials are not required to be continuous. This slows droplet growth and (as shown previously by @brangwynnelab.bsky.social and Jun Zhang) exchange kinetics. 2/4

Paper alert!🧪
We derive a theory that underpins interface resistance with a physical foundation and look at how it changes droplet growth and recovery kinetics! Awesome collab with @bosste.bsky.social Tyler Harmon @hymanlab.bsky.social @m-pol.bsky.social and Frank Jülicher @mpipks.bsky.social 1/4
