When the universe says “no” to your hypothesis, just add a few scoops of this to your buffers.

I got to meet Feng Zhang today! How fun! We asked him ALL the questions!!

Check out this animation of the CyanoClock that @partchlab and I worked on with Janet Iwasa and her postdoc Franchescka Lopez Rivera. We did our best to represent the past 25ish years of research on this amazing system!

Check out our labs newest paper published in Nature in which Amy Tsai, Jung-Un Park, and Alex Rizo report the structure of the V-K CAST transpososome. Also featuring @vinhbiochem, Tristan Wellner (who actually doesn't have a twitter), and me! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thank you, Dr. Fauci. nytimes.com/2022/12/10/opi…

Right by my old house… stay safe Santa Cruz! Thinking of you!

This is cool AF!

In 2007, I was depressed b/c I had been on the acad job mkt for yrs w/o a job to show for it. My late father said to me: "You're the big pot. You hold a lot of water, so you take a while to boil, but when you do, you will cook everything!" When something doesn't go my way...

When California friends come through with critical info:

I am stoked to be part of this years Jane Coffin Childs postdoctoral fellowship cohort. Special thanks to @partchlab and Liz Kellogg ❄️🔬 for their amazing mentorship and support to make this possible!

does anyone have a solid recommendation for the nicest Western Blot transfer apparatus in 2023??

Honored to have a front row seat for an inspiration talk by @partchlab and hear all about her groundbreaking work on circadian rhythm biochemistry today at BACS! UC Santa Cruz Science

Sad to hear of the passing of one of the giants of circadian biology. I never met Takao but his work has altered my trajectory as a scientist and has been an inspiration to many. He will be missed for sure!

Horses are the cats of the hoofed world. Fight me.

Congratulations to Carrie Partch @partchlab for receiving the directors award in research at SRBR Society for Research on Biological Rhythms #srbr2024 Always a rockstar ⭐️💫✨

So many congrats to my amazing PhD adviser Carrie @partchlab on her new status as HHMI investigator! It is an absolute honor to have been part of her lab. If you are looking for an environment that nurtures creativity and adventurousness then consider doing your postdoc with her!

hot take on the #NobelPrize2024 in Chemistry: I don't think that structure prediction and protein design should have to share the prize. The advances in EACH of these fields is worthy of a Nobel.. and David Baker should be on the awardees list for both.

The greatest feeling you can have as a scientist is realizing you’ve discovered something that no one else in the world knows yet When this happens, put your pencil down, take a deep breath and savor those three minutes before someone points out it was published fifty yrs ago
