Are you sad and angry about the surge in anti-Asian violence? Wondering if there’s something anti-racist you can do? One idea: learn how pronounce Asian names! It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just try, and it will make a difference to your Asian friends and people you meet. (1/8)

Protein crystallographers at PUIs, MSIs or under-resourced labs- the National Crystallization Center @HWMRI is launching a new program for us!
Spread the word to those who might be interested/qualify.

Every so often I rediscover the paper that lists which Protein Structures can be used as letters in the English alphabet:
ALT An image of protein structures, where each structure of a protein is shaped like a letter from the English alphabet. The structures spell out "Trans Rights are human rights". Each letter is also rainbow-colored, going from red->blue in protein sequence.

Congrats to the @BrynMawrCollege Class of 2022!! The lab had 3 graduating seniors this year (Rachel, Ashley, and Valerie), plus newly-minted Dr. Edwin Ragwan. Really sad to see them leave, but so excited to learn what the future has in store for them! 🥳🎉🍾

CONGRATS to Edwin on defending his PhD dissertation today! He's the lab’s first-ever PhD graduate! And thanks to lab alum @DrBRMiller for coming down to @BrynMawrCollege for the occasion. I could not be prouder of Edwin and his awe-inspiring work (below). HOORAY DR. EDWIN RAGWAN!

With this insight, Edwin rationally engineered chimeric HMGRs and was able to SWITCH the NAD(P)H specificity!! He then solved structures of these variants to show how they now bind the "opposite" cofactor. Overall, this work was a total tour-de-force!! CONGRATS DR. RAGWAN!!🍾🎂🎉
