Missed John Hopfield's Nobel speech? Here's the online version: journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/1…
It was an honor to write this, but also great fun. A chance to look back at the classics, and think about the path forward. #Physics is a beautiful human endeavor.

Congratulations Trevor! physics.wustl.edu/people/trevor-…
Now out in Physical Review Letters: work led by Andrew Pyo showing that the accumulation of beneficial mutations can be greatly accelerated by a mutation rate that decreases with increasing relative fitness. journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…
Apply now to be a CPBF Fellow in 2026! puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply…
Not just our @phybiofunc Fellow positions, but many allied programs. Read the whole thread, and please think about applying!

Our next symposium will focus on large language models. Longer talks and plenty of discussion time should help making these exciting developments more accessible! Please join us. No streaming but recorded talks will be posted @ITSCUNY1 .
What does diffusion look like in the crowded bacterial cytoplasm? Is it as weird as people say? Check out our new preprint on 3D tracking of GEMs in live E. coli from @dsvalverdem and @AlpSunol! A fantastic experiment-theory collaboration with @TheZiaLab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Happy to partner once more with @ITSCUNY1 These events give an opportunity to sample wonderful work by young physicists - from near and far - interested in the phenomena of life. Informal, lots of chance for discussion. Join us in NYC @GC_CUNY or online!
Fellow lovers of locomoting lampreys, galloping gazelles, courting cuttlefish, and aggressive albatross--come give a talk in the Animal Behavior and Social Interactions focus session (04.01.21) at the 2024 APS March Meeting. Abstracts are due Oct 20! march.aps.org
Our annual search for new CPBF Postdoctoral Fellows is open! Applications are due Oct 15. Spread the word and apply now to join our vibrant, collaborative community pushing the boundaries of biological physics across systems and scales. More info here: biophysics.princeton.edu/opportunities
Interested in how fruit fly behavior changes over hours and days, from birth to death? Check out our new preprint analyzing nearly 2 billion images of flies doing their thing! Amazing work from Dr. Grace McKenzie-Smith and @scott_w_wolf. arxiv.org/abs/2309.04044
Looking forward to connecting with a broad community! Many thanks to the organizers for the opportunity. Much of what I'll discuss is in a recent preprint, arxiv.org/abs/2304.09608.
