Annoyingly, thermodynamics says heat will not stay confined to individual wells, constraining the complexity of our experiments. But we can predict heat spread dynamics over time with our online app, letting us quickly know if our desired experiment is possible.

We used the thermoPlate to explore stress adaptation to heat shock.We found beautiful stress granule dynamics and memory formation, with differences at each degree of heating. What started as a quick peek at stress granules is now an exciting new avenue of inquiry for the lab.

Many additional details and surprises in the paper. Let us know if you are interested in the thermoPlate. Our goal was for others to build and use in their own labs. Big thanks to NSF, NIH, the US taxpayer, and Penn CPE4H for funding. And @cp-cellsystems.bsky.social for the excellent pub process💯.

Hmm -- issues with the GIFs above: here is the first!
