We loved having you. Great work coming out of @HematianLab. Redox and Cu, yes please!
A fantastic tour of the Duke Chapel after my seminar yesterday. Thanks to @FranzLabDuke and everyone @DukeChemistry for a great visit and many wonderful one-on-one and group talks! @DukeU

Several years ago, I wrote a 2-page guide on how to give a killer narratively-driven scientific talk. I called it "The David Attenborough Method", in homage to the master storyteller. x.com/wc_ratcliff/status/949… I recently expanded upon it in a short essay: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hRhv…

I teach a class on how to give a great scientific talk. The core idea is that humans absorb information effortlessly if it is delivered as a compelling story. I call it the 'David Attenborough' method, in honor of the master. Attached is my style guide. #scicomm @Attenboroughs_D

Quantifying the potential economic impact of antimicrobial resistance is one way of trying to get government attention to address the problem...this article looks at how much Australia could save if we reduced resistance in just 3 types of infections..

It is such an honor to be @SydneyChemistry as the Hans Freeman lecturer! In preparation, I read up on old papers of Prof Freeman (recommend), and share this gem with you. Yes, indeed, #MetalsAndPeptides are still a subject of increasing biochemical interest!

Distinguished scientist Hertha Sponer was the first woman to join our faculty. She arrived at Duke after being dismissed from her position in Germany when the Nazis came to power. More about that history and her contributions: duke.is/p9wkz @dukeresearch
We are excited to announce the creation of four new Trinity professorships that will honor celebrated individuals in @DukeU history -- Samuel DuBois Cook, Ida Stephens Owens, Hertha Sponer and Frank Wall. Learn more about each of these trailblazers: duke.is/8r6h9

“If the pandemic was whispering to us about air quality, the wildfires are screaming to us about it,” writes @linseymarr. “It’s clear we should be on the precipice of a new public health movement to improve the air we breathe.” nyti.ms/3P8KXEe
