This is disappointing. To understand the significance of this area for Natives, listen to this Native American Calling episode with Natives in the area describing their relationship with this land. www.nativeamericacalling.com/tuesday-may-...

Not the wurst case science bluesky scenario: This post inspired me to look up a few other papers by the 'brilliant hoot' Fred Menger and led me to this absolute beauty! 🧪 Certainly NO ONE should feel pity for the mundane phospholipid and its inferiority complex as a "sausage casing" 🌭😂 #LipidLove

I’m no longer an assistant to the professor. It’s been a long journey to associate professor. I now join the 0.4% of tenured Native American/Alaska Native (AI/AN) faculty! In 2019, there were 50 tenure AI/AN in the sciences. This number still needs to increase! #NativesInSTEM

This was the last @hhmi.org conference Lilly and Yuh-Nung Jan attended as investigators. They're becoming HHMI emeritus but still run a thriving NIH-funded lab. From cloning the first potassium ion channel (Shaker) to decoding neuronal development, the Jans have made a huge impact.

The #FullCircleSympisium is done and my heart is full. I want to thank ASSISTANT PROFESSOR @willowcoyote.bsky.social for organizing, along with his crew of students, administrators, and others who helped this run smoothly and even on time. I even called my dad after to tell him how awesome it was.

I am full of thanks to the Full Circle Symposium and @willowcoyote.bsky.social for creating a scientific space for futuristic and forward-thinking minds. It was a great way to reconnect. Also, thanks to @cheadlelab.bsky.social who snapped this picture:

As did I - my undergrad institution, Evergreen State College, while opening my eyes to research did not have resources or opportunities for research. I was lucky to a land an reu in 2013 doing oceanography and fell in love with research. Breaks my heart that there will be fewer opportunities.

A thread. Things are bad. But we’ve already lost if they smother the passion & joy we have for science. So here’s a proposal: if you’re a biologist in any way impacted by exasperated wave & want to chat, drop me an e-mail at myfirst.mylast[at]ucsf.edu. Let’s schedule a 30min chat about [...] (1/n)

Yeah, my Niners have been out of the picture for a long time. But do I give up hope for their future? No way. They will retool, from coaching on down, and rebuild the passion to succeed on the field. Gotta represent, let’s go!! And yes, this is a cheesy segue to the dire threat on academia… 🧵

Excited to present our lab's new work on GPCR antagonism: Contrary to popular belief, we propose that inverse agonists can bind to and act via GPCR:G protein complexes. We show this at KOR, through cellular assays, radioligand binding and cryoEM studies. A thread. 💊 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
