1/10 We’re excited to share a new preprint focused on kinesin-1 auto-inhibition led by Zhenyu Tan. TL;DR - we show that kinesin-1 is inhibited more like origami instead of head-to-tail using a combination of negative stain EM, XL-MS, and #AlphaFold. 🧵 below:

This is my summary of all immunology: sometimes these cells/cytokines/receptors/markers are pro-inflammatory, and other times anti-inflammatory so good luck trying to remember. Also everything has 10 names that are comprised of unique combo of letters and numbers.

That feeling when you’re at a conference and googling a big deal scientist and then realize they are sitting right behind you 😬🤦🏽♀️

Yay we got number 1000 ! 🍾 thanks so much @EMDB_EMPIAR for your service to the community!
The 1,000th #EMPIAR entry released @EMDB_EMPIAR is the image data that led to the 3.6 Å #CryoEM #Helical structure of ADP state wild-type #Myosin-15 in complex with filamentous #Actin; important for #Stereocilia that are responsible for sound detection https://t.co/dpEP8nPWpw 1/3

I'm going to start to refer to things that happened before yesterday as Elizabethan, might be useful... Journal: "you agreed to review this paper last week" Me: "yeah but that was during the Elizabethan era, they were different times"

Apparently if you buy a first class ticket on @Delta, you are not allowed in the lounge unless it’s an international flight. Thought first class had more perks! Pretty lame…

Lesson learned, even as a Hertz gold member, I will never be renting from @Hertz again. Screenshot of what I rented vs screenshot of my final bill. Not sure where that child seat is coming from since I neither requested nor received a child seat. Sneaky crooks
