.@UWBiology undergrads @JohannahRickman & @AbbyEBurtner's first (co)first author paper is now published in @iobjournal! Here, we (with Tate Linden & @SESantanaM) examined the shape and structural properties of squirrel humeri & femora. 🧵 1/x

Proud mentor moments this month: @AbbyEBurtner received a Goldwater Scholarship for her undergraduate research (1/413 across the nation!) and @EmilyABlackwell received an NSF GRF for her graduate research!

Today we're making RF Diffusion, our guided diffusion model for protein design with potential applications in medicine, vaccines & advanced materials, free to use. The software has proven much faster and more capable than prior protein design tools.

@KeystoneSymp on computational design of biomolecules was ‼️‼️ Thanks to the organizers for an incredible meeting, full of amazing science, and inviting me to give a short talk.
Sneaking in a few turns ⛷️between sessions wasn't too bad either... 😉
Greasy proteins ? Cells not spitting them out ? Clean them up with the Degreaser ! @khmelinskaia and John's paper - 'Improving the secretion of designed protein assemblies through negative design of cryptic transmembrane domains' has been published on PNAS https://t.co/7x9Ro6jcdj
Happy #WomenInScience Day! Lucky to work w/ amazing undergrad & postbac scientists!

Excited to release paper #2 by #TeamSquirrel as a preprint! Co-led by undergrads @JohannahRickman & @AbbyEBurtner, we examined how locomotor mode & allometry affected the external shape and internal structure of squirrel humeri & femora w/ @SESantanaM

The first #TeamSquirrel paper is published! Led by Tate Linden, we tested scaling patterns of body shape, body size, & limb lengths among squirrel ecotypes and described the underlying morphological components that contribute to body shape evolution 🧵1/x https://t.co/0gDl8gZNex
Preprint is up! Grateful to have co-led this work with @SusanaVazTor , Isaac and @PreethamVi
Thread soon but for now, rest 😂 #AcademicTwitter https://t.co/Edv4vfJxN5
We’re very happy to announce that our RFdiffusion manuscript is now on bioRxiv! A lot can change in a week - we’ve now tested over a thousand designs and there’s so much exciting new data! 🧵
DALL-E’s amazing images are popping up all over the web. That software uses something called a diffusion model, which is trained to remove noise from static until a clear picture is formed.
Turns out diffusion models can design proteins too!
The first #TeamSquirrel preprint is out! Led by Tate Linden (as an incoming sophomore!), we test relationships between body shape, size, and limbs among squirrel ecotypes! Check it out!
w/ @AbbyEBurtner, @JohannahRickman, @annikam321, and @SESantanaM

Congrats to undergrad extraordinaire @AbbyEBurtner for submitting her first manuscript 🥳🎉😎 We tested the gliding to flying hypothesis to understand to origin of bat flight. Check out the preprint below! Work with @SESantanaM & Dave Grossnickle

Our Institute was founded ten years ago with a small team and a big vision. Now both are larger than ever! Thank you to everyone who helped make this first decade so much fun. Here's to many more 🎉
Happy to release the “degreaser” into the world! If you need your proteins to secrete, perhaps this is something for you. Checkout the preprint! https://t.co/XHcYFNRvhP
