Inside every cell, tiny liquid-like compartments called “biomolecular condensates” form and dissolve as molecules attract and repel one another—much like oil and vinegar. First seen in the 1800s, these mysterious structures were largely ignored until new tools and a deeper understanding of chemistry revealed their importance less than 20 years ago.At the heart of this story are “intrinsically disordered proteins” — flexible, shape-shifting molecules that break many of biology’s supposed rules. These proteins help build condensates, influence how cells function, and, when mutated, can contribute to devastating diseases like ALS. Today, they’re at the center of a lively scientific debate about how cells organize themselves and what happens when that organization goes wrong.Join Hannah Blume, a 6th year PhD student in Harvard’s Program in Neuroscience, as she unpacks the chemistry, controversy, and medical implications of these strange proteins—and why more people should be in on the drama.Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌Agenda6:30 PM – Doors open: find a seat (open seating!), order food & drinks, and expect a bar line—arriving early is key.6:55 PM – Host introduction7:00 PM – Lecture begins7:45 PM – Audience Q&A8:00 PM – Have 1:1 time with the speaker, mingle with fellow guests, and order another round8:30 PM – Wrap up. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/boston/lectures-on-tap-the-strange-biology-of-shape-shifting-proteins/100001997620122561 - **Event Categories**: performances, art, theatre, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Boston - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Jamaica Plain - **lat**: 42.3097365 - **long**: -71.1151431 - **full address**: Jamaica Plain, 02130 Jamaica Plain, Boston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lectures on Tap- "The Strange Biology of Shape-Shifting Proteins" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/6f669ee0bcac7a4d7efe6aa0ea67d596a0276b8007840defe21781720986c333-rimg-w1200-h600-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1789690564 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Lectures on Tap- "The Strange Biology of Shape-Shifting Proteins" being held? - **A:** Lectures on Tap- "The Strange Biology of Shape-Shifting Proteins" takes place on Wed, 30 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 30 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Jamaica Plain, 02130 Jamaica Plain, Boston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Lectures on Tap- "The Strange Biology of Shape-Shifting Proteins"? - **A:** Lectures on Tap- "The Strange Biology of Shape-Shifting Proteins" is organized by Felecia For The Win. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
