Calling all outstanding early-career faculty in the chemical sciences at primarily undergraduate institutions! Nominations are currently open for the Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards. More information on how to apply can be found here: dreyfus.org/henry-dreyfus-…

Extremely happy to see our work on the collective chemotaxis of cell groups out! Such an incredible and fun collaboration leading to exciting interdisciplinary science #biophysics #mathbio #cellbiology 🔗doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

The abstract deadline for the Society of Rheology Annual Meeting is extended to May 30th to accommodate requests from speakers who are navigating uncertainties. We received a healthy number of abstracts so far and look forward to a robust meeting in Santa Fe.

The nonlinear mechanical properties of soft biological tissues and composites are poorly understood. Their strain stiffening under compression and shear is now found to be universal, and follows from the physics of the underlying biopolymer matrix. nature.com/articles/s4156…

The height and position of the loss modulus overshoot during yielding of yield-stress fluids are controlled by linear viscoelasticity Letter: go.aps.org/3Zw2ef3 Focus: go.aps.org/4kB5vlr

PhD student Michelle Quan's review article on “Biomolecular Actuators for Soft Robots” was selected for the cover of Chemical Reviews! Michelle highlights the history and new frontiers for biomolecules as tools to actuate movement in soft robots. #MyACSCover ACS Publications

Are you a student or postdoc working on theory for biological problems? Just over two weeks left to apply for our fall workshop here at HHMI | Janelia. It’s free and we cover travel expenses! janelia.org/you-janelia/co…

The latest work from my lab, Phage Disco, a method Ellie Rand developed for targeted discovery of bacteriophages based on the bacterial receptor, defense system, or other component they interact with, is now live in mSystems

Trying to anticipate how bacteria will spread is like predicting the flight of a leaf in a windstorm — it’s complicated and chaotic. However, a new #FlatironCCB study presents a computational method for predicting how bacteria navigate obstacles: simonsfoundation.org/2025/03/21/new… #science

Thrilled to see this paper published Soft Matter! Check it out at doi.org/10.1039/D5SM00…. In it, we describe how the unique rheology of wormlike micelle solutions influences their unsteady flow through windy serpentine channels. Summary in the tweetorial below ⬇️

A vital and very enjoyable component of my academic work is teaching students at all levels how to extend the frontiers of knowledge. So I’m pleased to announce a set of Jupyter notebook tutorials organized around our ideas for “physics of behavior”: github.com/oist/Physics-o…
