The first all-female team to share a Nobel Prize in science: biochemists Jennifer Doudna & Emmanuelle Charpentier. They won the 2020 #Nobel Prize in #Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing (CRISPR-Cas9)." Jennifer Doudna was born #OTD in 1964. #WomenInSTEM

Three postdoctoral fellowships in quantitative biology are available as part of a new Quantitative Biology Initiative in the Department of Biology at the University of Maryland. Best consideration date: 3/14 Job Ad: umd.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UMCP/j... Department: biology.umd.edu/people

Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu died #OTD in 1997. She conducted the Wu experiment (proving parity isn't conserved) for which her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics. Her role wasn't publicly honored until she was awarded the inaugural Wolf Prize in 1978. #WomenInSTEM #MatildaEffect

Please spread the word: the Structural Studies Division @mrclmb.bsky.social is looking for a new tenure-track, independent group leader with an exciting plan in any area of Structural (Molecular & Cell) biology, in discovery biology and/or methods development. 🥳 mrc.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/...

James Van Der Beek was part of one of the most influential shows of a certain era, a show that loomed large to a certain generation of critics. Beyond that, he was talented, willing to poke fun at himself & seemed like a good man. Extremely sad news. Way, way too young. 💚 people.com/james-van-de...

Deeply honored to be included in this showcase. If interested, you can read my interview here: www.biochemistry.org/about-us/new... Happy UN International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

This year's MSCA call was brutal. My stellar postdoc got 96.4 and was below cutoff. For chemistry it seems cutoff was 97.6, with 96.6 for the reserve list. This was their 3rd time applying, year 1 87, Year 2 93, this year 96.4. Each year the bar moved. At those cutoffs, peer review is meaningless.

Iran sentences Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi to seven more years in prison

Egal, wie die Situation im Iran weitergehen wird, egal wie lange die Mullahs sich noch an der Macht halten werden. Diese hier geschlagene Wunde wird in der mehr als 5500 Jahre währenden iranischen Geschichte eine tiefe Zäsur hinterlassen. Es wird nie wieder ein Leben wie zuvor im Iran geben.

ausreichend, um die massenhaften Gräueltaten zu beschreiben, die die Mullahs im Iran ausführen. Es gibt herzzerreißende Nachrichten von Menschen, die es kurz schaffen, eine Internet- oder Telefonverbindung zu etablieren. Jeder erzählt von Ermordeten. Ich habe von meiner Familie noch nichts gehört.

hingerichtet. Es wird wahllos gezielt auf Menschen geschossen, Menschen werden mit Fahrzeugen überrollt. Es gibt Berichte über Schwerverletzte, die vom Regime einfach so in Leichenhäuser gebracht werden und entweder dort sterben oder ermordet werden. Das Wort bestialisch ist nicht ansatzweise

Im Iran wurden in den letzten Wochen vermutlich mehr als 50.000 Menschen durch das Mullah-Regime ermordet. Das ist ein Massaker von historischem Ausmaß. Die Mullah-Schergen erschießen Menschen in Krankenhäusern, egal ob Bedienstete oder "Protestler". Menschen werden von der Straße weg entführt und

That explains the 10 police cars and 1 ambulance that went by this morning...

They blocked the 85 southbound ramp to make way for ten police cars and an ambulance with sirens on. Nothing in the news yet. I hope nothing too horrific has happened. @ajc.com #Atlanta

As storms and floods continue to strike Portugal and Spain and leaving loss and destruction behind, our thoughts are with everyone affected. Europe stands in solidarity with our Member States and their communities in this difficult moment.

February is Rare Disease Month 🦓 I have three ultra rare unrelated genetic conditions, one of which (Kallmann Syndrome) you probably saw a lot of in the news lately... I also have lost babies to Turner Syndrome and to an ultra rare SRP, an always lethal form of skeletal dysplasia. 1/

"Vi efterfrågar nyskapande forskning, men finansierar trygghet. Vi hyllar originalitet, men belönar förutsägbarhet. Så länge denna innovationsparadox består förblir banbrytande forskning något vi gärna talar om, men mer sällan finansierar." 1/2 www.tidningencurie.se/debatt/vi-be...

به نام خدای رنگین‌کمان (In the name of the G-d of rainbows) 💔 #Iran

When they cut off the internet, we knew a massacre was about to happen, but no one could have imagined the scale. 40,000 killed in two days = 20,000 people / day, 833 people / hour, 14 people / minute, 1 person killed every 5 seconds (on average). Can your heart process that? #Iran

#Iran 💔 (from Insta, not my immediate family, what I got is thanks we're still alive)

I was on the Georgia Tech Research Library's Rock'n'Roll Radio Show "Lost in the Stacks" today. Tune in for Open Science and topical music! lostinthestacks.libsyn.com/episode-671-...

Current mood.

Plus: I am both psychologically and practically (proper clothes) equipped to deal with this weather than your average Atlantan. Minus: What's the deal with Swedish winter weather following me to Atlanta?

The cruelty of the Regime knows no limits. #Iran www.iranintl.com/en/202601269...

At risk of losing power, 5yo is snuggled against me on the sofa chanting to herself “no power out… no scared, be brave” ❤️

Transcript from a video of a father desperately looking for his son's body in Iran: "Are there more bodies that way?" "So many, to your heart's desire" (If the Regime even lets you get your loved one's body back, it's your problem to find it among a sea of dead) #Iran

Self-explanatory. #Iran

Internet is slowly coming back in #Iran and I am getting signs of life from at least some of my family. Who knew how much power they could be in seeing someone view your Instagram story or like your post. (My family are the only reason I'm on Insta, it's more accessible from Iran)

I think one has to admit at this point that whether someone cares about human rights abuses and war crimes is an entirely partisan issue at this point.

I share with you the current mood in Iran.

Have the Iranian regime used chemical weapons against their own people? Assad did... (Also Saddam used chemical weapons against both Iranians during the war and Kurds in the Halabja massacre). Where are red lines? #Iran www.iranintl.com/en/202601235...

As we enter World Education Day (Jan 24), think of the 2.2 million Afghani girls still banned from school beyond the primary level. Be their voices. www.unesco.org/en/articles/...

Important story from Max Kozlov. Loss without replacement of council members is a serious concerns which could be a huge problem in the future, but this is uncertain.

We can (and have) learned quite a lot about the relationships between loop dynamics, allostery and function in protein tyrosine phosphatases from molecular simulations. Colin Welsh and I provide an overview in Biochemical Society Transactions: portlandpress.com/biochemsoctr...

The world has betrayed Iranians and Kurds. We will never forget. #SOSRojava #BijiKurdistan

We are only midway into January and I have spent the year watching in horror as massacres unfold in Iran and Kurdistan, with both Kurds and Iranians largely abandoned by the world. This is a dark year for humanity, and it's barely started. #SOSRojava #FreeIran

Omid Djalili: "In the final death pangs of a regime, they're at their most dangerous. And there is a kind of scorched earth policy, where the Mullahs are saying if we go, then the people of Iran would be left with a barren wasteland, and we're going to kill as many of you as possible." #Iran

"My English friend asked: do you have any news from your family? I said not yet. Is your family big? Yes. How many are you? 90 million people." #Iran

Hah! At least there are people out there that actually care enough to help... #Iran

Sent to my Representative today.

Don’t stop talking about Iran. Don’t stop talking about Iran. Don’t stop talking about Iran. Don’t stop talking about Iran. Don’t stop talking about Iran. Don’t stop talking about Iran. Don’t stop talking about Iran. Don’t stop talking about Iran.
