I especially enjoyed the stimulating discussions at the interface of Physics and Biology, and the opportunity to exchange ideas across disciplines.
Grateful as well to the Departments of Biology and of Physics and Astronomy, to the Faculty of Science for supporting the organization of the visit.
Many thanks to Raymond Goldstein for a truly engaging two-day visit at @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social during which he presented a faculty colloquium on “Fluid Dynamics and the Evolution of Biological Complexity” and a seminar on “Decision-making without a brain.”

Our new preprint on SMCHD1! We’ve shown SMCHD1’s ATPase activity is critical for function in vivo, and excitingly a new DNA binding domain neighbouring the ATPase domain activates the enzymatic function, which is important for normal chromatin binding.

The 2024 Physics Nobel Prize is often portrayed as a "prize for AI". In this article I explain the connection with Physics. It is a translation of an article appeared in dutch in www.tijdschriftkarakter.be - @karakterasl.bsky.social
