An amazing trip to Poland spent meeting scientists at Adam Mickiewicz University (Poznań) and the SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation Centre (Kraków). Thank you to my host and collaborator, Prof. Maciej Kozak for the invitation!! Dept. of Pharmacology, Univ. Cambridge SOLARIS Centre


We (and many!) have been thinking a lot about how to quantifiably measure the material properties of biomolecular condensates inside cells.
