We listen and we don’t judge… except today at the 26th Annual #NSCRC at @Northeastern !

Full-circle moment: this was where I first presented my undergrad chemistry research—and won my first “best poster” prize as a @WPI senior

Thrilled to announce that I've been selected for the 2023-2024 @CornellCALS Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant award in the Department
of Undergraduate Biology!

I'm grateful for the recognition & excited to keep working on creating a more inclusive classroom environment.

@guntherwho @BRCraneLab @sardana_richa @carrie_adler @HollopeterLab @CornellMolMed @CornellChem y’all got to get in on this!

[〰Gunther Hollopeter @guntherwho]

The Wiggly Winners, led by @CrisTheChemist of @BRCraneLab, along with lab members of @sardana_richa , @carrie_adler, #cerionelab, and @HollopeterLab, win the first annual @CornellMolMed kickball tournament! Now time for the BBQ!

[〰Gunther Hollopeter @guntherwho]

Kudos to @gwen_beacham for receiving yet another honor! Highly recommend watching for impactful science from this amazing Hagedorn lab postdoc @BU_Tweets. (Also, thanks @JCChildsFund for generously supporting superstar postdocs!)

@H3nRasouli Thanks for your kind words! As an aspiring academic, I appreciate the positive feedback and agree it’s essential to produce high-quality research for future literature. Let's keep supporting each other and advancing the field together!

[༻Ras⏣uli H༺ @H3nRasouli]

Congratulations on your outstanding research! Your manuscript's fluency and figures were impeccable. Such works are essential in elevating the quality of future literature. #researchexcellence #academicachievement

@mljones1993 @Nature Yes please do let us know! I think you might find Extended Data Fig. 9 particularly interesting where we structurally compare drosophila CRY-TIM with the crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of human TIM

[Cristina De⌬liveira, PhD @CrisTheChemist]

At last, the structure of Timeless has been resolved!

The best thing I feel about protein science is the intense narrative and perseverance involved behind elucidating roles of each protein, a landmark in the Cry-Tim epic has been etched!Kudos for such a substantial contribution to the field by the Crane group ! @BRCraneLab @Nature

[Cristina De⌬liveira, PhD @CrisTheChemist]

@nayanbnrj @BRCraneLab @Nature I completely agree! The narrative history of chronobiology is nothing short of gripping! It’s been thrilling to make our mark in propelling understanding of clocks via our Cry-Tim structure. Incredibly curious how the drosophila clock saga will continue to unfold!

[Cristina De⌬liveira, PhD @CrisTheChemist]

I remember attending my first @SRBR_Outreach virtually in 2020. So cool to have research I contributed to acknowledged by SRBR 3 years later!

1 Excited to share my Ph.D. work @BRCraneLab on circadian rhythm research, now published in Nature (https://t.co/x60XKB1i5d)! We've unveiled the structure to better understand the complex dance between the clock timing proteins Cry and Tim in fruit flies #circadianrhythm

[Cristina De⌬liveira, PhD @CrisTheChemist]

So lucky to have had @ChangfanL as a mentor early on in my PhD journey! Thank you for showing me the fascinating world of circadian clocks and helping me grow as a researcher. It has been a pleasure to work with you, @10feng & @BRCraneLab to get this story out & into the world!

[Changfan Lin @ChangfanL]

7 A huge thanks to my advisor Brian Crane @BRCraneLab for his unwavering patience, guidance, and support that allowed me to grow and learn throughout this journey. A big thank you to my co-authors Shi Feng @10feng and Cristina @CrisTheChemist for their invaluable contributions.

Mechanisms of circadian clock timing and entrainment revealed by the structure of Cryptochrome bound to Timeless https://t.co/fkKPrPmofy #bioRxiv

[Shi Feng凤石 @10feng]

The CRY:TIM complex shows how the N-terminus of TIM replaces the autoinhibitory C-terminal Tail (CTT) of CRY, which establishes the mechanism of photosensory transduction based on our and other labs.

[Cristina De⌬liveira, PhD @CrisTheChemist]

Couldn’t be more proud of our team effort!

[Shi Feng凤石 @10feng]

I am very excited to share our new manuscript! The first structure of Drosophila cryptochrome bound to its circadian target Timeless, which reveals a fundamental mechanism for circadian regulation.

[Cristina De⌬liveira, PhD @CrisTheChemist]

@EmmertLab @uoCHandBIC @tnewt116 Fingers crossed!
