Open science! 📖 Notes from the first @andolab.bsky.social beamtime for the @diffuseproject.bsky.social - check it out! diffuse.science/logbook/beam...

Fall beamtime begins! Here is Sarah @andolab.bsky.social ! 😎⚡️ @diffuseproject.bsky.social

🥳🙌

Marcus @andolab.bsky.social getting ready for fall beamtime for the @diffuseproject.bsky.social 🔥

Announcing the Diffuse Project! We're unlocking protein dynamics through diffuse X-ray scattering - the overlooked signal that could revolutionize how we understand protein motion. seemay.substack.com/p/from-syste...

Happy @diffuseproject.bsky.social launch day! Check out our latest effort. We're grappling with how to better understand protein dynamics and capture/share the information that would best allow the community to make use of that data. Take a look!

Happy 11th birthday to @andolab.bsky.social ! 🎂 🥳 Also happy to share that I'm a full prof as of July 1 -- thanks to my awesome group, past and present. We're now looking to grow the team! Looking for someone with amazing protein skills and postdocs excited about evolutionary questions!

In case this narrative gets lost in the shuffle: the Boston No Kings/Yaaaas Queens parade was pure JOY. People danced, cheered, and held up signs in support of trans people, immigrants, diversity, and each other

Hello BlueSky 🦋 I'm the Director of Graduate Studies in Cornell Chemistry. We're hiring a new Graduate Field Coordinator to help support our graduate program. Please apply or repost if you know someone great! tinyurl.com/3znxx4bh

Many thanks to our awesome guest speakers and student organizers for a fantastic CBI symposium at Cornell yesterday!

So excited for the annual student-organized Chemistry-Biology Interface symposium today! Amazing lineup including @hsulab.bsky.social @achemsynbio.bsky.social, Sloan Devlin (Harvard), & Nick Agard (Genentech) + stellar Cornell student and faculty speakers. Looking forward to some great science!

I miss Boston

Woo! Second startup from the Barstow lab! 🧬🍃🍁🦠

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Congratulations to my amazing colleague!! 🤩

After CSHL, Haoyue also visited @chloamphenicol.bsky.social, currently at Rutgers IQB, to talk more #cryoEM ❄️✌️

Woo! It’s Haoyue and her teammates! 🎉 Looks like they had a fabulous time!

It’s the last full day of the CSHL #CryoEM course! Last leg of the competition - solve the structure of a mystery protein and generate an atomic model with a complete Table 1 (sequence not provided). Students are learning that ChatGPT isn’t much help when trying to identify symmetry of a structure…

Some happy news from @andolab.bsky.social !! 😀🥳 Ever wonder how protein motions regulate enzyme turnover? Check out this paper by Darren (Da) Xu, et al. that was published today: rdcu.be/edf2A

Day 6 of the CSHL #CryoEM course: field trip to the city! Visited the New York Structural Biology Center, where Ed Eng @edwardteng.bsky.social introduced everyone to the EM sample prep and collection resources available at nccat.nysbc.org. Then a tour of the new technologies being developed there!

Day 4 of the CSHL #CryoEM course - A great lecture on advanced processing strategies from Justin Kollman, then more hands-on training! Freezing cryo samples with the Leica GP2, TFS Vitrobot, and manual plunger; preparing and checking negative stain grids; and checking alignments on the Krios.

Everyone crowding around Matthijn Vos for an introductory demo on the Krios on day 3 of the CSHL #CryoEM course

An analysis of forest plant traits from across the tropical Americas suggests that forests are not changing fast enough to keep up with #ClimateChange. Learn more in this week's issue of Science: scim.ag/3QLYhyc

Some good news: applications are open for the Weill Institute Emerging Scholars Symposium @ Cornell! Senior PhD students and, now, postdocs interested in networking & presenting their work in cell & molecular biology at Cornell should apply by Apr 14. Please repost! wicmb.cornell.edu/emerging-sch...

Boston University Department of Chemistry is looking for 4 (four!) postdoctoral associate teacher scholars. These mentored teaching and research experiences aim to prepare future faculty ready to step into teaching focused roles. Please repost and apply! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29703

Cornell Chemistry welcomed prospective graduate students with karaoke night! If you've never heard our department chair Tristan Lambert rap, you are missing out! 🎵🎤 #SingingChemists

Thanks to those who’ve reached out the last few days. I am grateful that my family and home are safe. Many of my friends and colleagues have lost homes. If you want to help Caltech/JPL faculty/students/staff, a relief fund has been established: giving.caltech.edu/areas-to-sup...

I'm happy and humbled to take on a new role with @rcsbpdb.bsky.social. I'll be continuing David Goodsell's work on the Molecule of the Month, starting with my first article on Assembly Line Polyketide Synthases! Check it out (animation included!) pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/301

Happy Holidays from @andolab.bsky.social ! Wishing you all a wonderful 2025 🥳

www.nature.com/articles/s42... Paper on ASR protein ML published (congrats @danasmatthews.bsky.social and everyone else not on Bluesky). Some interesting bits - ASR can generate quality synthetic data, local sequence density important, and evo relationships can yield smoother fitness landscapes

Welcome! The bluesky 3D #totalscattering family is expanding 😊 Looking forward to hearing exciting news from Pando as well 🐼

@andolab.bsky.social and I are on 🦋! Please repost!

I had a blast at UCSD! What an amazing audience!
