After two years of careful installation and calibration, the Simons Observatory in Chile is completely online and conducting science operations. "To have all the observatory motors humming, gears turning and data flowing makes me joyful, but even more exciting is the prospect of what we could find in its big new deep and detailed maps," says Simons Observatory Co-Director and Princeton professor Suzanne Staggs.

Researchers at Princeton University have harnessed AI to understand how drugs affect the dynamics of vital structures within the cell, introducing a tool that can map the shape of these structures to functional outcomes and shed light on important markers of health. To do this, a team led by @brangwynnelab examined the shape changes of biomolecular condensates, tiny droplets in living cells that drive transcription and other gene regulation processes and have been linked to diseases including Alzheimer’s, ALS and cancer.
