It’s been 30 yrs since Zwanzig’s “non-eq stat mech” As written, it has solidified the notion that theory develops models, and MD (perhaps) should be left to parametrize. Maybe it’s time to re-pitch the work using functional integrals & tie this formulation to likelihoods :)

It’s been 23 years since I finished undergrad at @mcgillu @McGillChemistry 😬 Meeting up with Dr. Grazyna Wilczek, who had such a deep impact in my formative years after so long was very special. Thanks to all the educators who continue to inspire. 🙏

Steve thoughts alone: New 50% US tariffs imposed by the Trump admin affect ~ $20B imported from 🇨🇦, which translates to ~ 5.2% of U.S. goods imported from 🇨🇦 Straight out the academic handbook: not picking one’s battles and ruining one’s reputation over a 2.6% net change.

Applied to lytic granules in T cells, our framework uncovered direct transport toward the immunological synapses followed by a slowdown near plasma membrane, revealing key dynamics of lytic granules during cell polarization.

How do we quantify molecules inside a cell? Often, we make them fluorescent. Thus, In single-cell experiments, it is natural to interpret a bright cell as a cell that is highly active. In our new PNAS, we show how this can be misleading. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

In our recent PNAS paper, we showed that explicitly accounting for this memory across cell divisions can qualitatively change the inferred biology. In a yeast stress-response system in yeast we observe that cells were only active ~5% of the time

In summary: High fluorescence doesn't always means active cells. Sometimes, it is memory.
