Ha - I love this photo! From the opening to my keynote at confia in villa do Conde Portugal today - I’m talking about showing how the division between smart and talented is harmful and false (in regards to me studying mathematics & being an art maker). A great gathering all around! confia.ipca.pt

Cannot complain about blue skies welcoming #SFSU2025 #graduates to #OracleParkSF. Congratulations to the #ClassOf2025! What a glorious day to celebrate! @calstate.bsky.social #SFSU

This work reveals some of the earliest molecular consequences of MYCN oncogene overexpression in a developmental cell lineage in vivo, the sympathetic nervous system progenitors. Let me know what you think, the implications of this study are numerous! dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

Thank you @kristinawong.bsky.social & #AA_CARES #SFSU for yesterday's #FOODBANKINFLUENCER performance @ McKenna Theatre. Amazing #solo #karaoke #musical. Brilliant parody lyrics! Learned some history & politics of food banks - Who knew? And bonus: #AuntieSewingSquad in the house!!

Today’s @sfstatebio.bsky.social seminar with a “Mechanic in the house” #ShannonYan #StanfordBiology asking a big question: how does a cell physically divide? Amazing to see #mitotic membrane tension profiles generated by pulling at membrane with #optical_tweezers #optical_laser_trap #optogenetics

Awesome Women of Color in Science Panel hosted by Black Excellence in #STEM @ #SFSU for today’s seminar! Who pivoted to stem cell research after 12 years in STEM education? Who was excited about forensics after a high school experience? Who was 16 yrs old viewing hanta virus in a microbiology lab?..

Congratulations to future @sfstatebio.bsky.social students attending #ExploreSFState today! Welcome to #SFSU!! Happy to highlight our microbiology labs, organismal bio labs, neuroscience labs, seawater core facility, human anatomy lab, and greenhouse!!

Intrigued by concept of #circadian control of #immunity shared by #CateraWilder #UCSFSchoolOfPharmacy @sfstatebio.bsky.social seminar. I know these are cells on a plate, but if I’m exposed to a pathogen in the AM vs in the PM, could I have different immunity or #inflammation responses? #wearable

Stand up for science and against pseudoscience. Locally at SF Civic Center Plaza and Sacramento at the State Capitol. #science #biotechnology #climatechange

Great images to start a mitotic poles/spindle talk from Nathan Cho @dumontlabucsf.bsky.social @ucsfmedicine.bsky.social referencing building the Golden Gate Bridge, then sharing about dissecting #NuMA to suss out it’s role in protecting the mitotic poles @sfstatebio.bsky.social

Learning from Philip Tagari @insitro.bsky.social how #machinelearning in their approach for #MASLD (formerly #NASH) studies leads to “unpacking the landscape of obesity” & learning that fructose is converted to lipid droplets via de novo lipogenesis in liver cells.

Check out this event at the BioScience Forum: Philip Tagari, CSO of insitro, Feb 19th, 5-8 pm in SSF. Accelerating drug discovery by applying machine learning and generative AI. Registration: biosf.org #drugdiscovery #biotech #AI #machinelearning #insitro #biotechnoloogy #drugdiscovery

A fitting note for Darwin's birrthday 2/12/1809 - #Evolution #EvolutionaryBiology

Learning about #frog #vision from @raynacbell.bsky.social @calacademy.bsky.social at today’s @sfstatebio.bsky.social Colloquium. I have wondered how nocturnal creatures can see at night…wait, whuh!? Not all frogs go through metamorphosis? A frog might be released from an egg instead of a tadpole??

Do you know Daisy Roulland-Dussoix? She is one of the discoverers of restriction enzymes, who’s findings paved the way for the development of recombinant DNA and cloning technologies. Accordingly, the finding was rewarded with a #NobelPrize. But the prize didn’t go to her. 🧵👇

#BlackHistoryMonth Now more than ever, we must uplift, amplify, & celebrate Black scientists, scholars, & leaders. Beronda Montgomery @berondam.bsky.social is a plant scientist who researchers & teaches about mentoring & culture. Read "Lessons from Plants" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...

Dr. Margaret Strickland Collin’s studied termites, and was the first Black woman to earn PhD in entomology. siarchives.si.edu/blog/margare... #BlackHistoryMonth #28DaysOfBlackSTEMHistory

Addgenie Alyssa chats about her scientific journey, Addgene, and volunteering on Watertown's Little Local Conversations podcast. We're proud of Alyssa, and all our Addgenie volunteers, who are working to share our science with local students and community members 💙 littlelocalconversat...

Really fun chatting with JP, Enya, and Lawrence!

We’ve got three faculty talks lined up for this @csubiotech.bsky.social Symposium session. First up we are learning how atomic force microscopy #AFM can detect different #pancreatic tissue stiffness during development from Maricela Maldonado #CSULongBeach. Can’t wait to see their future work in 3D!

Enjoying the @csubiotech.bsky.social Don Eden Grad Student Research Award Finalist Talks starting with Yi Shen Lee #CalStateEastBay helping me learn how I might be changing my mind with #Drosophila studies on decision making 🤔Hmmm…lay eggs on protein or sugar? @calstate.bsky.social

Listen up! “What is #Biotech?” going forward…#Blue-X Jim Cooper is arguing with #economics and exciting and imaginative biotech company examples that it’s #SyntheticBiology! @csubiotech.bsky.social Symposium

I am convinced! Dr. Matthew Gribble @ucsfmedicine.bsky.social says that the ocean is a #biotechnology TREASURE TROVE and backed this up with historical examples—but also looking forward with lens on human health! And I have a better understanding of what an environmental epidemiologist does!!

Second presenter Kenneth Lamb @calpolypomona.bsky.social shared the REAL story behind “toilet-to-tap water” before delving into components of #leadership involving features of the self (the leader), the team, the project, and all linked with an #ethical overlay.

Opening the #ONEHEALTH #biotechnology of food, water and the environment session at the 37th @csubiotech.bsky.social Symposium with Dr Tamu Green, #Equity and Wellness Institute, asking this question: Where do you get your food? Today as an adult? When you were a child?

Please join us for a discussion as part of our ongoing CSUBIOTECH Career Webinar Series. REGISTER at >> forms.gle/Nw14MTH2B6Q6... Dr. Carrie Dornan, Senior Director & Nonclinical Project Leader, Gilead Sciences, San Francisco, CA, Monday, January 13, 2025, 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM Pacific

Are we ready for the next wegovy? At the #AsilomarChromatin conference and riveted by #TapasKumarKundu #JNCASR presentation on #MASH (formerly #NASH), #histone butyrylation, #adipogenesis, and LTK-14A a small molecule #p300-inhibitor. #obesity

Beautiful walk at #AsilomarChromatin this afternoon. Looking forward to the evening session.

#UCSC was well represented last night @ @asilomarchromatin.bsky.social conference with Alison Mills & Brandt Warecki (Sullivan lab). Watching movies of lagging chromosomes catch up so they’re not left behind is fascinating & makes me wonder how they “know” which cell to run to #AsilomarChromatin

Gone BioID fishing with #ATRX? #AlejandroSaettone #UniversityofToronto #SickKids focused on chromatin-bound nuclear protein #CCDC71 (coiled-coil domain containing 71) and shared some ChIP-seq results to address where’s CCDC71?…and yes, we were a tad distracted by the fire. #AsilomarChromatin

Bryant-Li-Bhoj Syndrome (developmental delays/intellectual disability/craniofacial anomalies) is linked to Histone H3.3 mutations. #EricCampos #UniversityofToronto at today’s #AsilomarChromatin conference shared more H3.3 mutations & their consequence on modifications & protein interactions.

Cool talk by #ArpieBakhshian (#Padilla-Benavides lab, #WesleyanUniversity) @ the #AsilomarChromatin meeting on importance of copper in skeletal muscle differentiation (neat Cu-binding assay on western id's #CSRP2, Cysteine & Glycine Rich Protein 2) & showing sex difference in muscle regeneration.

Always thrilling to see #chromatin folks tackle brain disorders. At #AsilomarChromatin meeting, @mitchell-lab.bsky.social #UniversityofToronto proposes SRR2 (Sox2 Regulatory Region 2) enhancer deletion is possible mouse model for #schizophrenia because the ∆mice show loss of latent inhibition.

At #AsilomarChromatin yesterday, #ShahirMorcos #UniversityofToronto #SickKids shared BioID analysis of BLBS #Histone H3.3 mutants showed altered interactions with PWWP-domain containing proteins that normally bind di/tri methylated H3K36. Could this be due to deregulation of methyltransferase?
