We were delighted to be able to contribute with a small calculation for how heterogeneously ribosomes walk. Thanks @MarvinTanenbaum @_SoraY and Max Madern!

Great paper on imaging individual as well as multiple ribosomes and on how ribosomes translate efficiently!

We're organising again an NWO Physics of Life seminar with talks by Patricia Bassereau @CNRS and Felix Hol (@radboudumc) With @mbauer67 (@tudelft), @SiddhuLab (@WUR) and @DrFlorianBerger (@UUBeta) 🔔Register < 19 Nov 12:00 🕑28 Nov 📍Trippenhuis, A'dam https://t.co/1LjVLMtzZi

We've just opened the registration for the 2nd edition of the NWO Physics of Life seminar series with talks by @NimwegenLab and @MaikeMKHansen. With @mbauer67 (@tudelft ) @SiddhuLab (@WUR) and Florian Berger (@UUBeta) 📍 NWO Utrecht 📅 26/6 📧 Register

Impressive work on ribosomes from the Tanenbaum lab, showing also that ribosomes move at different speeds. Also pointer to Marvin's second post: Great PD @_SoraY is on the jobmarket this year!

Hes genes are dynamically expressed in many tissues. But how do dynamics differ between tissues and are they always oscillatory? We have addressed this question in the context of the developing embryo, where somites and neural tube form side-by-side. https://t.co/sj3gPFB9Ph

Looking forward to the NWO Physics of Life seminar with Ray Goldstein next Thursday! We'll also have talks by Jorine Eeftens, and PhD presentations by Nico Schramma, Katharina Till and Ketan Ganar. Thanks to the NWO PoL Roundtable :)

Thanks for a very nice collaboration with @wbialek. We also enjoyed the review process at @PRX_Life :)

This works because the mutual information can be expressed analytically in terms of two parameters only: the mutual information between signal and the variable of relevance, and a scaling parameter.

This tradeoff means that the optimal curves on the information plane collapse for different signals (if signals and sensors can be described by conditional Gaussian probability distributions).

Happy to share our new paper in PRX Life! We apply the information bottleneck to molecular sensing problems; for signals in early fly development, and Gaussian signals generally, we identify a universal tradeoff between obtaining crucial information and measuring noisily.

Congrats Erwin!

@NWONieuws Thanks #NWOBiophysics for a great time in Veldhoven these last two days - great keynotes by @FakhriLab and @StephanGrill, great plenaries by @gwuite, @SaricLab, @AubinTam, Rifka Vlijm, Tom Scheenen and Clemens Kaminski, great sessions, and lots of nice conversations.

For more details, email me or see

I have an opening for a Theoretical Biophysics PhD position :) The position has a focus on understanding virus gene regulation and packaging, w/ experimental collaborations. But it's a theoretical position and so there is flexibility.

Super excited for NWO Biophysics this year, with keynotes from @FakhriLab and @StephanGrill, and many cool plenary talks. Abstract deadline for oral presentation is coming up, don't forget to submit on time :)

Would you like the chance to present your research at NWO Biophysics 2023? The call for abstracts is now open! NWO Biophysics will take place on 9 & 10 October at NH Koningshof, Veldhoven. Submit your abstract now 👇 https://t.co/EimZok0bH6
