It is really cool to see our work being feature on the cover of the newest issue of @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social ! The design is great and captures the complexity of the system! I hope you enjoy the article!

I'm excited to have this review article out in @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social ! In a collaboration with the Darnell lab, we discuss the complexity of the ribosome ubiquitin code and what the field has done to crack this intricate signaling code!

I'm so excited and relieved that our NIH R35 grant has been renewed!! NoA received and grant actually started this July!! We will continue to advance our research on ubiquitin and translation control for the next 5 years!! Hoping to see more posts like this from y'all too🙌🏾🙌🏾

Congratulations to our undergraduate student Jorge Mato, named a 2025 Faculty Scholar!! Faculty Scholar is the highest honor given by @duke-university.bsky.social faculty to undergraduate students for academic and research excellence!! today.duke.edu/2025/06/four...

Amid all, it is energizing to hear nice news! Nine incredible colleagues and myself have been named Bass Chair Professors and inducted to the Bass Society of Fellows for excellence in teaching and research! We got medals and we will receive a physical chair 🪑!! ☺️ today.duke.edu/2025/04/ten-...

My department (Biology) at Duke University is seeking applicants for the position of Instructor B for the Microbiology (212L) lab sections. This course introduces major concepts in biology through the lens of microbiology! Share it with your network! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29941

So happy to see my colleagues succeeding! Congratulations Alissa!!! 🔥

It's Black History Month and I'm excited to bring another edition of "28 Days, 28 Black Botanists" - now posted as a blog on Plantae! Thanks to @aspbofficial.bsky.social for continuing to support this fun tradition of mine! 💪🏾👨🏾‍🔬🌻🌱 plantae.org/2025-black-h...

Watching (needed) energy, collaboration & collective effort about NIH indirect costs by institutions/societies & the difference in energy & collective efforts around rollback of DEI took me back to impetus to write "Make equity essential to expedite change in academia" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

When they came for Black & Brown folks, or #DEI efforts, I heard very little commotion Only now with these new directives has the scientific community become concerned with the future of research & academic institutions It will not stop here. If you are not rich & conservative, you are at risk!

As this is a delicate political moment, in which words are being weaponized, can we get some of the language right? DIVERSE is a feature of group, not a person! A person is what they are. There is no such thing as a diverse hire/employee. Thank you. www.scientificamerican.com/blog/voices/...

Maybe some folks can learn something with this very educational video during Black History Month #BlackSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=p56b...

Extremely important thread. NIH (and what will likely be NSF next) are and have been important agencies for *all* of us, whether you know/understand that yet or not.

Hello #Bluesky! New & happy to be here. I’m an assistant prof @ #DukeBME & #DukeMedicine. My research group develops patient-specific preclinical models to uncover human disease mysteries & discover safe and effective therapies. #StemCells #Organoids #MPS #DiseaseModels #Biomaterials #KidneyDisease

"Scientists as political advocates" - Important call to action from @anthrofuentes.bsky.social "we cannot rely on nonscientists to be the primary advocates for the necessity, value, and power of scientific knowledge and methods" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Ok, here we are 🔵🦋! We are a lab at #DukeUniversity studying protein dynamics, gene expression, cellular response to stress, and their relationship to health and disease! Our team is also very focused on promoting equity and diversity in higher education! Check us out: sites.duke.edu/silvalab/
