Come by poster B51 tomorrow at #BPS25 if you're interested in learning about how we're using alphafold at the proteome scale to explore plant microbe communication during symbiosis.

I am very sad to share that Scott Hawley passed away this morning. Scott was my graduate advisor and no other person had such a positive impact on my life. I will miss him dearly.

I just heard the news that R Scott Hawley, meiosis enthusiast and founding Dean of the Grad School of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, passed away today. Such a loss for the science and education community. I will miss our zooms and his deep, deep wisdom

I took biochem in 2001, and for nearly 20 years read amino acid sequences daily… and I never knew Dayhoff named them or even the logic behind things like Q until last Friday (h/t Mike Janech). Also, this is another big Dayhoff moment for me. She was incredible! #proteomics #bioinformatics
