SS Beta tested a mRNA vaccine design challenge by @3DMolDesigns w/ my own twist. SS modeled mRNA from SarsCOV2 Spike protein & published vaccine seq. Noting sim & diff. Using a structural RNA simulator, we ex the SHAPES of the unmod. mRNA & w pseudouridine! @STANYSorg@NYSMTP
@UWproteindesign Nothing better than hearing about protein design first hand! Take 4 minutes to watch David Baker (@UWproteindesign) explain what he loves about proteins.

Our @NATS_Science fall conference is next Friday Oct 18 and we're highlighting all presenters!
Cell membranes - we all got 'em! Ruth Hutson uses
@3DMolDesigns to explore this feature of life! (looks like railroad tracks...for a cell!)

Congrats to David Baker on winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry! 🎉 3D Molecular Designs is proud to have created models of the remarkable proteins from his lab over the past 20 years! 🏆 #NobelPrize#DavidBaker
One thing I like about the Institute for Protein Design, in Seattle, is that they display models of their prior achievements at the entrance.
More research centers should have a "trophy room," just like sports teams. It may help students think more ambitiously, etc.
Our @NATS_Science fall conference is Oct 18! (I'm on the board, and we are highlighting all presenters!)
Ruth Hutson will "show how @3DMolDesigns models the journey from DNA to mRNA to proteins"

Nucleotide chem -Dynamic DNA -Gene Strips & Transcription -oh my WHAT a day! So many toys -I mean TOOLS to model Genetic topics! Such a FUN engaged group of teachers EVEN AFTER 4 DAYS! Oh & NY/LI watch out we are bringing this show on the ROAD @NYSMTP@3DMolDesigns@STANYSorg
Bitter sweet day, the last day of Modeling the Molecular World @3DMolDesigns Teachers modeled chromosomes & DNA rep. 1 pic shows many of the models we used this week! Everyone was EXCITED to use these models in their classes! Grateful to be able to share w such AWESOME teachers!
Solving difficult problems while working with others - this is our main focus in our #pltwclassroom. Freshmen get their first exposure to our unique student led and project based environment during #zizzerday. @3DMolDesigns@PLTWorg@wpzizzers
New day -new phenomena to explore! Participants explored membrane transport from the cellular level to the molecular level using physical & computer based models! & examined how acetylcholinesterase relates to insecticide resistance in mosquitos @3DMolDesigns@NYSMTP@STANYSorg
Took a slight detour on my way back to Chicago from Oshkosh, & was warmly welcomed by Diane & Tim Herman of @3DMolDesigns where I was initially baptized in the art of engaging student learning of the molecular world underlying life! It was great to catch up! I’ll be back!
What FUN to work w amazing teachers from across the US at Modeling & The Molecular World @3DMolDesigns My first time helping facilitate! Day 1 -exploring different models & using those models to examine phenomena! @NYSMTP@STANYSorg
We brought our Modeling the Molecular World course to California! We learned valuable tips from experienced teachers fostering student discovery and building a community of educators. Don't miss MMW next year!
