Excited to finally share our work! Achieving tight control of a photoactivatable #Cre recombinase gene switch #optogenetics.

RT @rcastellsg: I'm thrilled to share our latest work on designing imaging scaffolds to determine the structure of small proteins using cry….

Blazing-fast image creation – using just your voice. Try Grok Imagine.

Can't say enough about my co-authors @rcastellsg and @Yeates_Lab 🥳. A simple #proteindesign stabilizes a modular #EM imaging scaffold and the results are 🥹. We break prior size barriers 😶‍🌫️ allowing #structure determination of the small protein #KRAS.

This article speaks to something I've felt since my parents divorced and then cohabitated with new partners. A 10 min read, but one graph is pretty clear and provocative. What came first, marriage or income. In America, being single is expensive by design

Can't believe the queue of planes waiting to land at LAX sometimes. I count 20 planes, only 43 stars 🌓.

Love #TheGameChangers, but their protein graphic is actually a nucleosome. DNA (blue and orange double helix) + Protein.

RT @TheScientistLLC: From poster awards to Nobel Prizes, its time to rethink the value of feting accomplishments in research. https://t.co/….

Our new work is up! . A fragment-based protein interface design algorithm for symmetric assemblies

Sea force. An army of these picking up ocean plastic 🤔. Sea creature-inspired robot walks, rolls, transports cargo via @YouTube.

Real world application: @rcastellsg asked me about the "Potato" button on the microwave the other day. I guess Europe doesn't have as many microwaves? I'd consider myself a fairly expert microwavologist, but constantly overlook this option. such a game changer!.

Concluding remarks about novice users reading manuals vs experts diving right in, struck a chord. Ties to research I heard from @AlisonGopnik with children vs adults using exploring vs. exploiting mindsets. Always keep exploring!.

😂.

Much needed call for action. My only gripe, current products are targeted at women, even this call for investment. Why not fund male contraceptives in the same way? Sure, they can't get pregnant, but it takes two to tango 💃🕺and 0% of guys enjoy condoms.

Something holding you back from donating blood? . I passed out during routine blood work (5 ml draw, fasting), so I was always nervous. When donating (250 ml), you can eat a full meal 💪.Also, besides initial stick, there isn't any sensation. Takes 10 mins. COVID tests hurt more!.

Watching election coverage on YouTube. Received an add telling me about curfew in place in LA tonight. It's NOT. Gov wouldn't pay for a curfew alert on youtube!? Public emergency will broadcast that to your phone. Be diligent out there, do your #research, #misinformation is afoot.

Also, I found out about biorender recently. To the rescue!

Is it just me, or is this depiction of a computer really prevalent in science publications? Clip art from the 20th century

Huh? #math

Wisconsin though. Coming down to the wire as the received votes near ~90%. Biden in the lead by 10,000 votes. Apparently Green Bay election official is on the way to pick up more ink for the voting machine. Wouldn't it be nice if they could've started a week ago.
