Very pleased to share our latest work on substrate identification of deubiquitylases, led by @VRossio, in collaboration with @PauloLabMS @GygiLab, available @CellChemBiol. Link below is active until July 17. authors.elsevier.com/c/1jA77…

Want to know more about what defines DUB substrate specificity? Check out new work from the master of in vitro cell biology herself @VRossio, @rwkhms, and @GygiLab! Congrats to all authors on this beautiful characterisation of DUB substrates.

Can scientists be taught how to choose good projects?
I took a fantastic class taught by @mfgrp last quarter where the foundational hypothesis is: Yes, they can!
And I continually come back to these core insights as I think about project choice and direction in my 2nd year of PhD:

So, so cool. TEs to the rescue in naked mole rats. Precancerous cells proliferate to quickly for DNA methyltransferase to keep up, resulting in expression of retrotransposons, which triggers interferon response and cell death.

This is your semi-annual reminder that these frigid polar vortex bomb cyclones happen BECAUSE of global warming! Hot N Pacific water pushes the arctic circle air down onto the US, let’s take action. #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis

Lack of funding for the next generation COVID vaccines, including nasal spray boosters, will slow our progress in providing immunity where it’s needed - at the point of viral entry👃🏼
Thank you @VinGuptaMD @nbcnews for this news coverage!

Science educators searching for a compelling way to teach the importance of understanding how small molecules, macromolecules, and macromolecular assemblies differ: your quest is at an end.

Impactful words by @CarolynBertozzi today on how diversity in her trainees enabled creativity, not playing by the rules, and ultimately the work that built the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Diverse science leads to better science!

🚨I wrote about ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). The US has millions of people with it & maybe two dozen docs who specialize in it.
This medical crisis needs urgent attention, esp. now COVID has hugely increased the number of long-haulers. 1/

Very excited to see our new Science paper by my student Sam Wattrus. Macrophages interact with stem cells and determine which clones to selectively amplify or to destroy, providing a quality assurance mechanism for determining which stem cells contribute to adult blood.

There are very few people I’d do this for. But it seems I’m on the train to London to join a very long overnight queue with my dear old Mum.
Here comes a rolling thread about #TheQueue

Young VCs: a major lens with which to view all your interactions with companies – are you “constructive”? This doesn’t mean that you forgo asking hard questions. It simply means that your tone and outlook are respectful throughout and optimistic wherever possible, that...1/5

BREAKING: Republicans panic as the NBA announces that it will drive its millions of “woke” fans to the voting booth this November by holding “election-themed” games the day before Election Day — and cancel all Election Day games so that its fans can go vote. RT TO THANK THE NBA!

My friend said "Fahrenheit is how people feel. Celcius is how water feels. Kelvin is how the molecules feel." and I can't stop thinking about how much sense this makes

One of my absolute favorite quotes about science, by Peter Medawar who won the Nobel prize for discovery of immune tolerance 🧬
There is no monolithic Scientist, people join in the pursuit for many reasons.
ALT Scientists are people of very dissimilar temperaments doing things in very different ways. Among scientists are collectors, classifiers and compulsive tidiers-up; many are detectives by temperament and many are explorers; some are artists and others artisans. There are poet-scientists and philosopher-scientists and even a few mystics.
