The cytoskeleton of the cell is both a circulatory and muscular system all at once. The most interesting open question to me in science is whether it can support coherent quantum mechanical and electromagnetic phenomena too. It would mean every cell in your body can 'think'
I don't understand why people don't get more angry about the cookie banner. Passing a regulation that casually consumes 575 million conscious hours is the equivalent of obliterating 1300 human lifetimes.
How not to accelerate. Don't replicate this kind of stupidity in America with an onslaught of absurd AI legislation based on non-existent problems.
Don't underestimate how much effort society will exert to marginalize independent and divergent thinking.
Energetically marching towards understanding more about the foundations of biological evolution...
A multidisciplinary team around @RamBhaskara4 from @IBC2_GU @goetheuni provides fresh insights into the role of intrinsic disorder in large-scale membrane shaping during ER-phagy. @HummerLab @DikicLab @EnableFrankfurt @sfb1177 @SCALE_Uni_FFM
If Doom never happened, no Quake. If Quake never happened, no GPUs. If no GPUs, the AI revolution doesn't happen. (This is of course a slight exaggeration but it's interesting to think about.....)
Curiosity-driven exploration of Flow-Lenia universes 🔍First discoveries in our ongoing Alife project 🔬We use curiosity-driven autotelic algorithms as AI scientists 🤖 exploring the space of Flow-Lenia environments 🚀We aim to find environments that self-organize, from…
New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30
Motor proteins walking around 🙌
Vesicular transport in a bundle of neurons. Made this movie some years ago. Incredible how much material is constantly being moved around in our cells over long distances by tiny (nanometer scale) motor proteins #microscopy, #science, #cells_are_amazing

Birth of a neuron. Stem cell transforming into a brain cell
Science has been becoming more and more moribund for several generations. Many fields are dead men walking. This one is not going to correct itself on its own. Only some massive outside disruption could get us back to the kinds of promises that scientific breakthroughs promised…
Heritable non-genetic phenotypes are enriched for stress responses as a form of bet hedging biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_genomic
"The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Power is what all messiahs really seek: not the chance to serve." --HL Mencken
Absolutely. SpaceX has helped me keep the faith in the transformative power of tech, even when the going gets rough. In gratitude: a 4D SOTA microscopy movie of living cells is tissue computationally separated to show molecular cargos (bright dots) entering each one:
