Symmetry breaking is crucial to life – collapsing disordered symmetry to ordered asymmetry, spanning scales from tissues to biomolecule chirality eg DNA. Our breakthrough new COMBI-Tweez tech helps study this rdcu.be/dCSNI @PhysicsofLifeUK @NatureComms 1/n

Finally got an award from the ERC… Easingwold Running Club, that is😉
Over half my X chums have migrated to Bluesky, so now it is time for me to follow - social media without the social is awkward. If you wish to engage with more pics of the sun, running exploits, and #biophysics, follow me on @bpsiyork.bsky.social @PhysicsofLifeUK @BioPhysicsUK
Reminder that our 2025 EDI Bursary Scheme, designed to support students from low-income backgrounds, is still open for application from supervisors with potential project ideas. 🔗 Details: physicsoflife.org.uk/edi-award.html 📝 Apply by 10 Jan: t.ly/NcrYi
Great to kick-off the inaugural U.K. condensates meeting in Durham! @PhysicsofLifeUK @BioPhysicsUK super opportunity to syngerise the exceptional talent is this world-leading community
In the Christmas fog I missed the sad passing of Martin Karplus a few days ago. A real pioneer of physical chemistry. As an ambassador of physics and biology it pains me to admit that the most influential of the sciences is still chemistry😉
⏰ Last days to apply 💷 Fully funded PhD scholarship 🌍 Open for international applications! Come join us for a fascinating biophysical project together with @Craggs_Lab findaphd.com/phds/project/d… The project involves biology, ultrafast spectroscopy and single-molecule spectroscopy
Lost on cycle ride in Hambleton Hills and came across interesting City of Troy maze several hundred years old. That’s how I feel this morning…
