Research is for everyone. Grateful to @WBEZ to talk about why research is important and why stopping hurts people and our leadership as the #1 country for innovation.

Research that benefits everyone is being cut. This is real. The wonderful people at @NUSynBio are working hard to help people. This jeopardizes all of it.

It brings me no pleasure to post today's coverage of the assault on science being wrought by the bonkers federal clowns. This @Suntimes story features damage to my husband's lab. If critical @DeptofDefense work isn't even spared. @LucksLab @NUSynBio.

BUT there is a limit - somehow the most sensitive switches still don't sense at the level of aptamer:ligand interactions measured in vivo. We think this might be due to inherent misfolding in the dynamic cellular environment . .

What's really amazing is that if we take these natural strategies as design principles, we can sensitize a range of different riboswitches - all without changing their aptamers!
