As I conclude my first course (Organic Chemistry II) at @iiserbhopal @chm_iiserb, I want to thank my students for their kind gesture of appreciation! Thank you for asking great questions throughout the course. I did expand my understanding of organic chemistry by teaching you!

I too had this question in mind about how membranes interact with condensates. Really cool work Harsha @harshabajajlab and team! Shared it with my group too.
Very excited for our work now published in Small - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm… Our work describes coacervate-lipid interactions where lipids membrane are able to regulate the size of condensates via electrostatic interactions. @AdvPortfolio @synbio_papers @lipidchronicles
