Hey #IonChannel community! Ever wonder why your favorite channel likes to form clusters in the PM? Check out our most recent collaborative work with L. Fernando Santana 🇵🇷 for some answers. A stochastic model of ion channel cluster formation in the plasma membrane jgp.rupress.org/content/early/…

This is such a cool study about the origin of life. I don’t want to spoil the twist, but do check it out. To me, it’s an astonishingly beautiful solution to a hard paradox about how the first cells came to be. theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

John Cowgill and Baron Chanda of UW–Madison discuss the importance of voltage clamp fluorometry to the functional interpretation of ion channel and transporter structures bit.ly/2ZevJQN #JGP100 #ionchannels

Congratulations to ⁦School of Nursing⁩ colleagues ⁦Ira KantrowitzGordon⁩ & Molly Altman on this important work! Pregnant women of color experience disempowerment by health care providers washington.edu/news/2019/08/2…

~6 yrs ago, super-res imaging by Xiaowei Zhuang’s lab revealed surprising, regularly-spaced actin rings along neuronal axons. Now, her lab makes progress figuring out what they are for: dynamically-regulated structural platforms for GPCR/CaM/RTK signaling tinyurl.com/y232rdsq

Bar Naked Data (not a typo): I'll be discussing data visualization for lab meeting tomorrow and using this excellent Journal of Biological Chemistry paper as a guide: jbc.org/content/292/50…

Riveting talk by Anne Carlson at UT Neuroscience today! I was disappointed by the lack of Arrested Development references, though.

Had a wonderful time hosting Anne Carlson at UT Neuroscience and hear about the amazing signaling events at fertilization. Stay tuned to her lab’s research!

Fish with electric organs can distinguish whether they are near conducting materials (animals) or nonconducting (rock) using hair cell-derived cells expressing KCNA7a. From Harold Zakon. Wow.

UW Virology is OPEN and expanding testing (despite confusion around The New York Times article). We tested for over 900 people on 3/10 with approximately 7% positive.

"It would therefore take a heroic effort & very fast #quarantine & isolation to identify, by traditional methods, every person who’s infected, & every person they contact, & everyone they contact.” Meyers Lab at UT Austin on the need for distributed disease tracking: statnews.com/2020/04/02/cor…

Probability the peak has passed differs between states and metropolitan areas: Lauren Meyers on CNN this morning

Students, assuming we're all doing online learning again in the fall, what do you want your profs to keep doing/stop doing/start doing? (Faculty tweeps, please RT)

Whoa! This looks a big breakthrough! Cryo structures of caveolin assemblies. Are these in vitro caveolae? Thoughts from caveolae mavens @LabParton ? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
