Big fun in Alerion 28 West Coast Championships this weekend

Congratulations to Prof. Anna Wuttig for being named a 2026 Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar! The award honors early-career faculty in the chemical sciences who have created an outstanding independent body of scholarship and are deeply committed to education with undergraduates. shorturl.at/F6XCJ

I wrote 6 editions of Biochemistry which was lots of fun when it was not threatening to do me in. I am now the only survivor of that author team, but we now have a great team of new authors (who all worked hard on the last (10th edition) with me). Lubert's book turned 50 last year.

This is one of the saddest pieces I’ve read in a long time; brace yourself, it’s devastating I wish RFK Jr and his MAHA movement would read it (they won’t) 🎁 Link www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...

War, what is it good for? 🙌🏽 Absolutely nothing‼️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Springsteen aka The Boss still knows how to shake the ground & remind us what really matters. 💃🏽🤘🏽🎸🕺🏼

Oh my! Time flies.

Great "No Kings" Springsteen show in Portland last night. Bonus Tom Morello! awesome

nice cluster of S. rubra flowers

How can nature make #peptides covering chemical space beyond the proteinogenic amino acids using the #ribosome? Wilfred van der Donk talked at #Biochemistry2026 about the power of ribosomally-synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides #RiPPs. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... #Biochemistry

Nice seminar trip to the U of Chicago and UW Madison Chemistry Depts. Learned much great science, and early spring weather, 60s and sunny one day, snowing soon after. good fun!

During a rare SF Bay lightning and thunderstorm, nice to have a comfy place of refuge, says Brienne of Tarth. (who is of course descended from Dunk the Doberman)

good plan!!

Yeah Ashok!!

Tim Johnstone, from UC Santa Cruz gave today’s seminar on the interesting topics of antidotes for carbon dioxide poisoning and the group of 15 elements that make up the bioinorganic group. Thanks for visiting #wsuchemistry! #ChemSky

Ah! Yeah had we not gotten a dog we had considered getting an Argentine tegu. A few years back we got this little guy!

Hi Grace, had a savannah years ago. she was indeed very mean! so yes. But I can't really have a big lizard now cause of the big furry beast that roams the house!

I keep asking for a 35in monitor for christmas. maybe this is the year?

Breanne of Tarth prepared for rainy Berkeley weather...

is it taught in the Walter White Center?

My quote of the day Through this additional support, we must renew our commitment to provide talented young people with the opportunity to build scientific careers based on their curiosity, the same opportunity that was provided to me when I began my work. Kenneth G. Wilson

HEY! stop that

for some it is drinking beverages with little umbrellas Sven, so you are missed
