Thrilled that @jlowgan was selected as a finalist of the 2021 @Society4Science #RegeneronSTS! I so proud of everything you've accomplished the past several years.
Good luck to all of the finalists! Looking forward to learning about your research at the public exhibition on 3/14

Tears of queer joy hearing about @CarolynBertozzi winning the chemistry #NobelPrize & Svante Pääbo in physiology, 1st openly LGBTQ STEM Nobel winners! Shouldn’t matter, but in a year with so much increased hate & violence it is so important to have these visible icons. #Pride

Excited to finally share some of our work on the photogeneration of tryptophan radical in a very unusual protein, azurin.
Thanks @CTLeeRes , J J Rivera, and J E Kim!

I'm excited to share our latest collaborative work with @RangamaniUCSD. We obtained new mechanistic insights into actin-based force production during clathrin-mediated endocytosis by integrating quantitative #cryoET results into mathematical modeling. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Very careful biophysical modelling study showing how dendritic spine size and shape may modulate the plasticity rule.
Spine volume-to-surface ratio turns out to be key determinant for calcium transient size and synaptic weight updates. Can be regulated via multiple mechanisms.

Stochastic simulations reveal that dendritic spine morphology regulates synaptic plasticity in a deterministic manner biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_neursci

Very excited to share this work led by Mason and Miriam! It's been a privilege to work with and support Mason in his high school research journey. This is the best part of "teaching science as we do science"! So excited for your future, Mason.

Meet Miriam Bell #ARCSScholar @RangamaniUCSD whose current projects focus on the shape-function relationship of dendritic spines, small protrusions on neurons that are centers of synaptic communication. Miriam was honored at our recent SOY Event: san-diego.arcsfoundation.org… #STEMed

We are releasing STRESS, an automated software to measure mechanical stresses in 3D multicellular systems using oil droplets or (some) gel microbeads. The software was developed by awesome postdoc Ben Gross and great graduate student @ElijahRShelton. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 🧵
