If you're interested in microbial chemical biology and looking for a research technician position, the Kenney Lab at Pitt is hiring. You'd be working with weird new (metallo)enzymes, weird microbes, and weird new natural products. Fill out an app here: cfopitt.taleo.net/careersect…

Replying to @MeharryMedical
@MeharryMedical student @KeAndreya_M highlight features a paper from the lab of @SBGrid member @FisherLabLehigh of @Lehighchem; the authors examine the role of a conserved amino acid residue in bacterial copper-binding proteins. Read more here: buff.ly/43fZDH3

We thoroughly enjoyed learning about all the amazing new research going on from the equally amazing scientists involved in it at the Cell Biology of Metals GRC last week in beautiful Vermont!

Some folks thought it was risky that I mostly published collaborative work on the tenure track. But most fields aren’t like bioinorganic chemistry! 😉 A new paper with Debbie Fass and Kathy Franz et al is in the latest issue of freakin’ Cell! cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Congratulations and best wishes to Jing Guo, the lab’s very first undergrad who graduated this year, shown here on our way back from lunch on her last day a few weeks ago! (I'm slow at Twitter, but trying to get better)

We had a fun end to 'spring break' with @Geek_a_Chu's lab!
We escaped, with 2 minutes left! Our group had an action-packed afternoon with @FisherLabLehigh at @Capturedlv escape room, and then we soaked in all the warm weather with dinner outside in historic Bethlehem #teamwork #proudPI
