A ditch in Roseland, Louisiana, seven months after an oil facility exploded here.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

Recently, my undergraduate thesis student & I went to the National Center for Cryo EM Access & Training (NCCAT) to collect data. It was a great experience & while we didn’t solve our protein structure (yet!), we both earned our Vitrobot certification ✨ #undergraduateresearch 🧪

Got to enjoy some Carolina blue skies (and a taste of spring) this week! Had a wonderful visit to give a seminar at UNC Chapel Hill on my lab’s research on Bacteroides ovatus polysaccharide deacetylase (BoPDA). Loved all the energizing conversations from faculty and students! ✨ 🧪

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Science is under attack, and it can't defend itself. That's why we are rallying NATIONWIDE this SATURDAY, MARCH 7th to TAKE BACK OUR SCIENCE!!! Visit standupforscience.net/march7 to find your local rally, volunteer, register to host a rally or a pop-up protest! It's time to Stand Up for Science!

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

Molecular glues are enjoying the spotlight, but discovering new ones is often a matter of luck. A new method, developed by @scripps.edu chemist @michael-erb.bsky.social and colleagues, aims to discover new glues more intentionally with a “target-based” approach. cen.acs.org/biological-c... #chemsky🧪

This one hits hard.

Always bombing somewhere 🫩

I just donated! Your contribution is needed ASAP to fuel this existential fight and save science in America. Donate now for today, tomorrow, and the years to come. Rally to Take Back Our Science is on Saturday March 7th, 2026 in Washington DC. act.standupforscience.net/fundraising/... 🧪

Make it viral.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

He legit just pardoned the president of Honduras for drug trafficking but now Maduro is going to stand trial for “narco terrorism.” This all makes a lot of sense and definitely isn’t about oil.

Trump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval. People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is. This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.

It is really funny that Jimmy Kimmel Live showed more moral fortitude and adherence to a system of values than Columbia University

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

Excited to share this story on the protein crystallography CURE I developed and have been teaching for the last 3 years! www.vassar.edu/news/student... This course is supported by my #CottrellScholars Award from RCSA. @rescorp.org @vassar.bsky.social #grantsinaction #biochemistry

Also if you at at #ACA2025 and missed my talk today, you can catch my other talk on Tuesday in 4.2.3 Engaging Students with Crystallography where I will share lessons learned from creating/running a protein crystallography CURE!

Gave a talk in the Hot Structures session today at #ACA2025 in Chicago! Fun fact: the first conference talk I ever gave was in 2010 at my first ACA meeting, also in the Hot Structures session, also in Chicago!! (See bonus pic below of me attending ACA2010) ☺️ And if you see me at #ACA2025 say hi!

And now @biophyskrys.bsky.social giving a hot strucutres talk on BoPDA, a polysaccharide deacetylase. Another great study and talk! #ACA2025 @acastructuralsci.bsky.social

Great Hot Structures session at #ACA2025! ACA Etter Student Award winner Sarah Narehood, @biophyskrys.bsky.social, Nikolas Capra, Rachel Kretsch, Debanu Das, Daniel Richman @acastructuralsci.bsky.social

we’ve totally normalized that he’ll interfere with private business if he’s not paid off. every legal expert said this suit was meritless.

I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone else…either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

Fro the last few years, as part of a final assignment in my senior biophysical chem class I ask students to share a class-related memes, with ones they make themselves highly encouraged! For everyone's enjoyment, here are some of my favorites! #chemistry #biochemistry #sigfigs #units 🧪

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

Same coin. Anti-DEI orders assume people of color can’t possible be qualified. Cries of reverse racism assume white people can’t possibly be unqualified. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/u...

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

Hi everyone! It's Daniel and Eesha taking over for Jonesy lab at NYU! Meet our wonderful PI, Jonesy, an RNA structure enthusiast 🧬 Be sure to check out our lab website :) wp.nyu.edu/labjonesy/

Today we have @jonesylab.bsky.social taking over our social media and giving us insights into her #PI life! 🤩 Stay tuned! #BIBPSWeek

✨ I’m overjoyed to share that I’ve been promoted to associate professor with tenure in chemistry at Vassar College!! Honored to now join the 2% of Black women who are tenured faculty in the US. So grateful to my family & friends, my colleagues & mentors, & all my amazing students! ✨🧪

It’s #BIBPSWeek Day 3! 🙌🏾 Today is #BIBPSResearch at 12pm PST!!! Join us for an engaging discussion with McKenze Moss at @notredame.bsky.social and Dr. Trevor GrandPre (@myphysicsjourney.bsky.social) 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Don't forget to register! 🚨🚨🚨 Just follow this link: my.biophysics.org/Events/Calen...

Planted this last year, and really enjoying the benefits today 🌸 #blooms #gardening
