How can we support women in STEM? “Mentoring to cultivate female talent in science” highlights a program established by Cristina Gómez-Navarro to mentor women in STEM and shares tips for mentoring to cultivate female talent in science. ➡️ febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A big thank you to @washumedicine.bsky.social for featuring our work! I'm grateful for the spotlight and vision behind the fellows program!

Last week, Washington University made the perhaps questionable decision to award me tenure.

Some cool disorderly science, happening tomorrow!👇

Happening TOMORROW! Get psyched!

Hello friends. Today I want to tell you a story. It sounds small, I know, amidst all this. But small things matter, and I'd appreciate your consideration. This is a story of a cat. Specifically, this cat. On the left is the first photo I ever took of her. On the right is a recent photo. (1/13)

The Hurley Lab is proud to announce its most recent graduate, Dr. Carm Cordi!

Now published in JCIM! Thanks to reviewers and our editor for pushing us to (hopefully) clarify a few things and ensure it's clear what PENGUIN is trying to do (and what it's NOT trying to do). Also, in case you were unsure, graphic design is our passion. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

📣Only a few days left to apply!!📣 Grad students and postdocs, we'd love to hear about your disorderly science! 🍝

Excited to announce the newest member of the flock - STARLING (conSTruction of intrinsicAlly disoRdered proteins ensembles efficientLy vIa multi-dimeNsional Generative models). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out my student's posters at the Biophysical Society meeting! Sunday: B126, B127, on the RNA CTD domain and HIV Vif-APOBEC interactions, Wednesday: B21, B121, B123, B125, B131 on ArkA-SH3 binding. #BPS2025 #undergradinthelab #compchem

Attending #BPS2025? Want to know more about tangible steps you can take to challenge the attacks on science in the U.S.? Please attend an Emergency Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday at 1:30! @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social @blackinbiophys.bsky.social Please spread the word!

Happy to share the final program of the 2025 Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Subgroup Symposium at the Biophysical Society Meeting to be held in Los Angeles on February 15. Looking forward to seeing you all in less than a week @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social.

The Meet and Greet with #BIBPS will be followed by the ✨ #BlackInBiophysics Symposium✨ featuring: Dr. Alaji Bah Dr. Breann Brown Dr. Oleta Johnson Dr. Wade Zeno You can’t miss it! 👏🏾 #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackExcellence @blackinx.bsky.social www.biophysics.org/2025meeting/... 3/3

Behind every great community is an even greater team! Meet the faces who make it all happen. 🙌 #MeetTheTeam @pelhamjackie.bsky.social @nieminm.bsky.social @jcubuk.bsky.social @kerikozul.bsky.social @tlochetto.bsky.social

For all its strengths and shortcomings, I am excited about re-establishing an academic community here, which (surprise!) includes women. Why are there no female academics quoted in this piece about academic Bluesky? www.science.org/content/arti...

We're back for 2025! This week we welcome Adam Klosin and Randal Halfmann for the first IDPSeminar of Season 17!

It's been a great year for #WomeninScience books - incl. the challenges faced, and the ways we can overcome historic imbalances & obstacles - as a community 🙌 Highly recommended reads by these authors 🤩 Katalin Kariko @athenedonald.bsky.social @lisampmunoz.bsky.social Kate Zernike #WomeninSTEM 🧪

Come hang out for the last IDPSeminar of the year and hear some neat science! 👇

Know an undergraduate who wants to pursue a  neuroscience PhD? @WUSTL_ENDURE empowers participants in their path to graduate school and beyond. Includes $7000 per summer, travel, housing, two scientific meetings/year. Applications due by Feb. 3, 2025. endure.wustl.edu/apply/

We did this crazy project where we tried to see if proteins could interact with their mirror image ligand. Seems impossible when proteins need to form 3D structures to interact. But what about if the interaction remains disordered??? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do you need a starting pack of researcher working on intrinsically disordered proteins? Well, you might head over to @idpseminars.bsky.social and hit followers. Tw***** was important for the birth of IDPseminars and for spreading the word. It would be cool to re-kindle that community here.

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

If you are a PhD student and like protein disorder (or want to learn more), Birthe Kragelund @bbkrage.bsky.social and Kristian Strømgaard are organizing a PhD course on How IDPs work 🧶🧬🧪 Note the cost if you are not at a Danish university. Details: phdcourses.ku.dk/DetailKursus...

Check out Jeff’s work on figuring out when simulations of your wobbly bois are not wobbly enough!

Love #IDRs? 🍝 Our new work explores the link between IDR sequence, ensemble, and function - all measured in live cells using rationally designed IDRs! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Our IDR design tool (GOOSE) is available on GitHub & as a colab notebook tinyurl.com/idrdesign
