I’ll be leaving Ann Arbor behind for a few months tomorrow for a summer sabbatical @cshlnews.bsky.social getting to learn some cryoEM with the Joshua-Tor lab! Super excited for this opportunity - grateful to Prof. Joshua-Tor for hosting and UMich CBITP for the support!

Glad to finally get this work out there - extremely thankful to my co-authors. Special thanks to my co-first author, our talented former postdoc Yaping!

Picked this up recently and got to discuss with author Dr. Eric Cech, an engineer turned sociologist here at UMich! Really interesting and I highly recommend a read!
