PI’s Log, UNF Research outpost, Day 47: Buffers low. Tubes scarce, the tips are fewer. Reagents critical. LB reserves exhausted. EtOH…depleted..Spirits wavering. But hope, emerges; a white Fisher convoy sighted at the perimeter. Hold strong mates. live, to pipette another day

“It turns out it was not a grizzly bear and she said, “You won the Nobel Prize!” Yesterday Fred Ramsdell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine but, at the time, he and his wife were completely off-grid camping in Yellowstone National Park. Unsurprisingly when they finally returned to an area with phone service the messages poured in. Ramsdell talked to us on his way home from Yellowstone, sharing how a day that began with wildlife spotting can end up with the Nobel Prize. #NobelPrize

Excited to share our latest paper, published in Nature Communications! As first author from @3M_Lab, I’m proud of this collaborative effort with @LabMito and @rfleiro, where we dissect the autoregulatory mechanism of the mitochondrial helicase Twinkle. 🔗 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

We are delighted to share our collaborative work with Ibarra Lab @3M_Lab and Fernandez-Leiro Lab @rfleiro, in which we dissect autoregulatory mechanism of Twinkle helicase! Big thank you to Sjoerd Wanrooij @Wanrooij20 and other reviewers for a smooth process! @Greg_Ciesielski ; nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
