👀 Hot off the press: A scathing open letter co-authored by all 17 former ACIP members. It's a frank look at ACIP history and the hard truths America will grapple with in the upcoming months. Turns out the former ACIP members have more spine than CDC leadership 🙄 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

ACTION ITEM-----ACTION ITEM Implementation of Schedule F This is what a lot of us have been worried about. This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs. BUT THERE IS A COMMENT PERIOD... 1/n

Amazing women in science having hotpot @drstarbird.bsky.social @berlowlab.bsky.social

Calling all membrane/membrane protein folks! Join us this summer in Barcelona for the Membrane Protein Folding Gordon Conference and Seminar. GRS chaired by @justmwest.bsky.social and myself! We are soliticiting abstracts from trainees for talks! Deadline - April 6. www.grc.org/membrane-pro...

Since @stephanieaw.bsky.social left the lab to start her group at Vanderbilt, we've been talking regularly on the ups and downs of academic science. We started recording... The Tortured Proteins Department open.spotify.com/show/10PHVou... (science with a small dose of running and Taylor Swift)

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

I took the stage at the #BPS2025 meeting in solidarity with our american colleagues. On March 7th, events and protests are organized in US and other countries, including France, to #standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social @standupforscifr.bsky.social

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Thrilled to take a break from doom and gloom to share our latest work collaborating with the DeGrado lab! We took a de novo designed protein, screened it for ligand binding using X-rays, and used the hits to evolve two wildly different functions: fluorescent turn-on and Kemp elimination catalysis. 🧵

Excited to share our latest work in JACS!! We show that step edge defects have nanoscale impact on electronic structure in semiconducting TMDC electrocatalysts. Congrats to first-author Kenneth Ortiz Chua! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #SECCM #electrochemistry ⚡️🧪
