Super happy for Ben and Paola to see this published, I think it's a really unique (and huge) work, where almost every solute binding protein in this bacterium has been functionally annotated

Come be my colleague at Auburn! auemployment.com/postings/48812 We are searching for an assistant professor in the area of organic chemistry broadly defined. #chemjobs Chemjobber

Yesss!! 🎉

New work from our lab by the amazing Laurel Kinman, Maria V. Carreira, and Barrett Powell here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Our lab has found SIREn super useful, and I expect you will too! Also, check out the soon-to-be-announced Kinman lab UC San Francisco...exciting days ahead!!!

Wow the northern lights are visible from Ithaca tonight! Gorgeous photo courtesy of Emily 🤩

Our microscopy slack channel is becoming an Aurora slack channel

faint but BEAUTIFUL northern lights here in Ithaca, right over Cayuga Lake!

For Ando Lab it happened in our whats_scattering channel

Aurora borealis in Ithaca = a lot of fun for the Ando Lab! 🌌

Phenomenal talk today CornellChemistry by Itay Budin — innovative methods for imaging membrane biophysics and lipid transport and roles of unique lipids in helping membranes stay fluid in the extreme pressures of the deep ocean! #lipidtime

Finally recovered from almost a week in beautiful Ithaca giving a CornellChemistry seminar, collecting data with Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, and seeing all my old haunts. Thanks Ando Lab Jeremy Baskin for hosting me 🍁🍂🍃

This is coming a week late due to my getting sick, but I'm very excited to share that we have another PhD in Ando Lab ! Here is Dr. Rob Miller!!! Rob did X-ray method development at Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source before picking up ❄️🔬 to study protein allostery! 🏃‍♂️📷

One more announcement! We also have another PhD candidate in Ando Lab ! Here is Chloe Holod (bonus photo: our very spooky hallway) 🥳🎃

Tomorrow, November 5, is Election Day. For resources related to voting, please visit vote.cornell.edu

It’s not too late to tune in! Catch the next half of our Carl Sagan 90th Birthday celebration on livestream: tinyurl.com/2bf7ena4

Other things were going on two weeks ago, so we waited to share more exciting news: another PhD in Ando Lab ! Here is 🤠Dr. Michael G. Patterson 🤠!!! Stay tuned for some✨ beautiful✨ structures, coming soon to a pre-print server near you! 🧘‍♂️

dealing with the ruggedness of protein fitness landscapes is perhaps the most challenging aspect of protein design and engineering - here we have written a short perspective about it - it's complicated and not perfectly understood but very interesting! arxiv.org/abs/2411.12957
