A conflict between the California Coastal Commission and Pismo Beach could mean that having a beachfront property is more trouble than it's worth for some.
A new view of biology
January 26, 2021Princeton
Cliff Brangwynne was seeing cells in the sidewalk again.
It was another long day in the lab at Harvard Medical School, where Brangwynne would often work late nights, staring at cells. Sometimes he spent so much time staring at cells through the microscope that the cells would follow him home, their shapes imprinted on his vision. Walking late at night, he’d see them dancing over the buildings and the empty streets and sidewalks.
Though Brangwynne was in his college years, he wasn’t a student in fact, some would call him a dropout. He’d been enrolled at Carnegie Mellon University, a first-generation college student, when a mixture of burnout and wanderlust prompted him to take a year off midway through his degree. At first he thought he would take a yearlong trip to Latin America. But he was interested in materials science he liked how it described the world in terms of math and physics. He also loved biology: he loved

Clifford Brangwynne, the June K. Wu ’92 Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering and inaugural director of the Princeton Bioengineering Initiative, sees similarities between living cells and salad dressing, in which oil and vinegar separate according to the laws of physics. The idea has caught on, and now many scientists are exploring how such physical processes can drive the formation of the cell’s structures and play key roles in cellular division and gene expression.

eaton was last seen attending a conference in crete on july 2nd. that same day, colleagues believe she went out for her daily jog on the island when she went missing. six days later, eaton s remains were discovered in a cave near her running path. after her disappearance, family members set up a facebook account called searching for suzanne raising more than $40,000 to help with the search. police are continuing to investigate. according to a statement from the institute in germany where eaton worked as a microbiologist. her loss is unbearable, the institute said. the california native was the wife of british scientist tony hyman and mother of two sons max and luke. the family has not yet responded. we will remember forever the extraordinary scientist so caring and devoted to her family and friends, her employer said in a statement. we remain in disbelief of this shocking and awful tragedy.
