Kudos to Matt for his complete leadership from start to finish on this review, which was invited as a result of his compelling, cohesive, and ground-breaking graduate research!.
Now out in @AnnualReviews of Physical Chemistry: @DavidASivak and I review recent work studying flows of free energy into, out of, and within molecular machines. These nanoscale protein machines convert energy within cells of all living organisms with remarkable efficiencies.

Great to see external recognition for what I experience everyday @SFU_Science: bad-a*% researcher, pioneering teacher, and tireless service as both leader and supportive colleague. (I also commend @ApsDbio for their sage decision to bask in her reflected glory.).

Congrats Matt, on a magisterial defence and a thesis that will be a resource to the community for years to come! It’s been an honour.
Happy to share that I successfully defended my PhD thesis ("Stochastic Thermodynamics of Multicomponent Molecular Machines") @SFUPhysics earlier this week. Thanks so much to everyone who supported me along the way, especially my supervisor @DavidASivak!
