A little time off the grid….

Harrison, whose plasma contained a rare antibody, rolled up his sleeve 1,173 times from 1954 to 2018. The Australian is credited with helping 2.4 million babies and advancing scientific research.

George was a great guy. I vividly remember meeting him at a mixer at the IUCr meeting in Seattle in '97 when I was a grad student. We had an hour long conversation about SHELX and crystallography and other things over beers. Both a deep thinker and down to earth guy. He leaves a big impact.

Fun fact about George Sheldrick: he wrote a paper on his SHELX software (that everyone uses for small molecule crystallography) in Acta Cryst A which caused the journal to go from Impact Factor 2 to an IF = 50. Spawned discussion on the relevance of IFs. Huge impact.

Right about now wondering how many Trump voters work at Universities in: Facilities Management Environmental Services Construction/renovation projects (including steel workers, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, painters) Large equipment installation or repair Security IT Need I go on…..

One of the joys of mentoring is getting a glimpse into your students “outside the lab” life. Got to see the amazing #LNYF25 performance including our amazing undergrad researcher Cynthia Zhi!

Beautiful day for a snow hike with @jablab3.bsky.social ! Really amazing out there today!

I am so thrilled to share our latest collab with @jablab3.bsky.social ! Structural mapping of #TREM2 ligand interactions by #BLI. Led by Jessica Greven; thanks to big contributions by Josh Wydra, Cynthia Zhi,... molecularneurodegeneration.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Check out the latest from our groups on TREM2, driven by rockstar postbac Jess Greven and @tombrettlab.bsky.social! @washumedicine.bsky.social doi.org/10.1186/s130...

As a Minnesota native, I can’t pass up the opportunity for a snow run! Nice storm out there!

Right, fun’s over, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

You know how the emails pile up over the holidays, and when you clean your inbox out by quick screen/delete, you hope you didn't get rid of something important? Just found out we @jablab3.bsky.social had a big paper accepted a week ago because the notice got deleted. Happy discoveries!

Achievement unlocked! Chestnuts roasted on an open fire! Happy New Year to all!

Had the opportunity tonight to say Hi to my ‘baby blue’

Photo credit in image, I NEED to see this bird that is reportedly in the area.

Happy Christmas!🎄

Ok, finally a science post for BlueSky: Check out our latest editorial in @TheJHLT, strong work as always from Ghandi (@Ghandi_Hassan_ on X) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Tomorrow night. Let it SKOL. #WinterWhiteout ❄️

He doesn’t get it. That’s ok. Fellow karaoke enthusiasts IYKYK ❤️ 🎤

👀!!!

Interesting riff on science inspired by a story about Chappell Roan. I like it. Equally good food for those: 1) quietly struggling to find the motivation to keep going with their science 2) ignorantly raging about the process and taxpayer value of science www.instagram.com/reel/DCjzrMJ...

Some know I have a thing for making playlists, but top 4% worldwide? Ok 🤣 If you wanna check them out Jen AB on @Spotify sites.wustl.edu/jablab (we all know the winner is @Hozier)

We are recruiting for Investigator (Tenure) track faculty @WUSTL in the Dept of Pathology and Immunology; Division of Lab and Genomic Medicine. Official details can be found here: pathology.wustl.edu/wp-content/u...

Beautiful morning for #HotChocolate run with @jablab3.bsky.social and Jess Greven!

This is very interesting. And it DOES NOT mean that TREM2 is not a good target. It's a complex target.

Seasonal confusion

What’s better than a run in the rain….?

Things to love about Thanksgiving: Turkey Trots, wine, and family! @jablab3.bsky.social

Happy Thanksgiving to all! 🍁🦃

My lab at UMass Chan Med School uses a variety of approaches to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of membrane traffic. Striving to make academic science a more diverse, equitable, welcoming and inclusive place. Incoming President for the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB)! Opinions are mine.

More backyard gardening! First cauliflower of fall!

Beautiful Sunday trail run with @jablab3.bsky.social !

It just don’t get better than this…..

Good write up of BlueSky #MedSky by @kristinafiore.bsky.social feat. BlueSky elders: @mdaware.org @gavinyamey.bsky.social @nickmark.bsky.social @kiswanson.bsky.social and @kidneyboy.bsky.social of course www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

Backyard gardening! Fall crops are getting close to harvest time! Broccoli and cauliflower!

This should be mandatory reading for Presidents of Universities and Academic Societies. Also should be printed, framed and hung in their office: "Engage with courage, tenacity, strength and unity. Do NOT obey in advance" #ScienceMatters #NeutralityIsComplicity

Not even sure my alter ego is needed here, but alas, connect the dots as desired. My view on the way to ICU this morning. Hello 🦋

Wow! People are here! A beautiful sky pic to kick it off!
