MAKING THE CENTRIFUGE Two German brothers made a centrifuge in the late 1800s to separate butterfat. Over the next 70 years, their simple idea evolved into a tool powerful enough to separate DNA, viruses, and even uranium isotopes. This is that story. 🔻

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is one of the most ubiquitous tools used in biology research. It was discovered by Osamu Shimomura, a Japanese marine biologist, in 1961. While editing an article about GFP's history, we learned a lot about this man. Like how...🧵

Great article, “How a Biofilm’s Strange Shape Emerges From Cellular Geometry” in @QuantaMagazine. Here are biofilms grown by researcher Lars Dietrich, all from the same bacterium, fed different nutrients. [Link in reply because of dumb new policy restricting tweets with links.]

Micro decisions can have macro consequences. A soft matter physicist reveals how interactions within simple cellular collectives can lead to emergent physical traits. @edbites reports: quantamagazine.org/how-a-biofilms…
How to "program" living cells.🧫 In 2000, physicists ( @ElowitzLab) made bacteria blink on-and-off every 150 minutes. Their experiment, which blended mathematics and wet-lab methods, launched the field of synthetic biology. Learn how they did it in my first interactive story.

All excited about this invited talk.
Even though Newton's laws are deterministic, the behavior of many interacting bodies is so chaotic that it looks essentially "random." Statistical mechanics effectively says: why bother with all those complex trajectories? Just go ahead and replace them with truly random motion.
We often think of an "equilibrium" as something standing still, like a scale in perfect balance. But many equilibria are dynamic, like a flowing river which is never changing—yet never standing still. These dynamic equilibria are nicely described by so-called "detailed balance"
Today's SLAAM seminar will feature Dr. Ferdinand Greiss from the Weizmann Institute of Science at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET (US time). Title: Living matter from the bottom up with single DNA molecules
