Massive 10+ year effort in lab spearheaded by @leonardoaparrar and Kayal (secret account 🤔). Unreal cover by @EmmaVIDALL that says it all.

I remember watching it every week in the 80s
Humlog, the iconic Doordarshan TV serial, was a masterclass in storytelling that captured the essence of Indian middle-class life in the 1980s. However it traces its origin to the most unlikely inspiration: a sewing machine revolution that rocked Peru. Thread. 1/21

Months before the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the American Olympic swim team had a calm Bengali man quietly watching their practice as a guest advisor. The Americans were charmed by his presence.

Take a look at our new paper on the structure of the EHD2 that, upon oligomerization, forms rings that remodel the plasma membrane and form caveolae.
Beautiful work by Elena, Vasya @v_mikirtumov, Jeff & Oliver Dumke's team; take a look: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
