Yesterday, May 15, I taught "Phase Separation 101" lecture at Academia Sinica @AcadSinica, Taipei, Taiwan. Had stimulating discussions with students of my class. My host, Ruby Chen, asked me to write my comments on my lecture flyer (like a visitors' book archive). Some pictures:

Curious how biocondensates localize ions? We found that condensates selectively bind and localize both chaotropic anions and kosmotropic cations. This alters the condensate composition, interface potential and RNA duplex stability inside. By @IrisSmokers biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our latest paper is out today @MolecularCell! Led by a @AHA_Alberto and with important contributions from @SaricLab & @EllenbergLab! We show how chromosomes shift from being repulsive to becoming attractive during mitosis. Read all about it here: cell.com/molecular-cell/full…

Had a wonderful lab alumni dinner at Mitr Thai in New York with my former undergrads @PriyashaDeshpa1 @PgSwastik @_NehaPunia who are now doing their PhD @asrc_gc. It's so lovely to see them happy & thriving. Thank you for the surprise celebration of my (belated) birthday. 😍
Both of us are so excited to be back in Times Square in New York after 15.5 years! Revisiting our fond memories while walking around the Times Square area. We're enjoying the beautiful day in New York 😊.

Our article is now live at Nature Cell Biology! representing a fantastic collaboration with @dallandrummond and squire lab. We demonstrated reversible storage of stress-induced orphan ribosomal proteins within chaperone-stirred liquid condensates. Dive in nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

It's so nice of the Indian Academy of Sciences to send me a beautiful certificate of my election to the fellowship. This certificate has a watermark of Sir CV Raman, who founded the academy in 1934. Vibrational Raman spectroscopy has been an invaluable tool in our research work.
I am honored and humbled to be a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences @IAScBng which was founded by Sir CV Raman in 1934. It's a recognition of my talented students who have fearlessly ventured into exciting research directions. Thanks to my family and colleagues @IISERMohali
