IMF Report on the significant economic return of investment in basic research.

"We find that basic scientific research affects more sectors, in more countries and for a longer time than applied research (commercially oriented R&D by firms)"

Wondering if you should get your baby the new RSV shot?

I’ve studied respiratory viruses like RSV, and their vaccines and treatments for years

Here’s a 🧵 of key info

We just had a baby last week

We chose to protect our newborn with it

And we’re lucky we could get a dose

Job Alert! The MPRC is looking to recruit a postdoctoral fellow to help define how a mitochondrial protein is degraded outside of this organelle! Work on a grant while building your own project for your future lab! Retweets appreciated!

Today's Nobel is a reminder to focus on the work and not the journal. The key publications cited by the committee were published in Immunity, Molecular Therapy, and Nucleic Acids Research. Respectable journals, but not the Big 3. The discoveries are what's important, not a name.

This #EM_Monday I want to put the word out that I will be on job market this year! As you might have noticed, I am fascinated by the shapes of various organelles that become drastically different in specialized cells. And I want to know how and why?! The most notable…(1/5)

Such a fun visit to my alma mater (@neurophd_emory 2002-2007). How time flies! 😊 Thank you @FaundezLab @acorbe2 and the IMSD program @IMSDEmory!

The courage of this woman scientist standing up for herself and for what's right reminds me of what Jennifer Doudna said when asked, by a female student, for career advice:

"Walk into every room like you OWN THE PLACE."

BRAVA! to this person and all
#WomenInSTEM for doing so.

TransitID is out today in Cell! This is a proximity labeling method for unbiased discovery of endogenous proteins that traffick from a defined “source” location to a defined “destination” location. TransitID uses sequential labeling by TurboID in the source, followed by a chase period (minutes to hours) and then 1-minute APEX tagging in the destination compartment. Proteins tagged by both enzymes are enriched with streptavidin and anti-fluorescein antibody, and identified by mass spec.

We explore 4 intracellular and intercellular applications of TransitID:
- discovery of locally translated mitochondrial proteins (translated at OMM, then imported into mito matrix)
- mapping proteins whose cytoplasm-to-nucleus shuttling is dampened by stress
- discovery of proteins that transit between nucleolus & stress granules during stress & stress recovery
- analysis of proteins that traffic intercellularly bw tumor cells & macrophages

Super excited to have actually finished my PhD yesterday!! Also will treasure the memory of a lab member aggressively defending us from this bug with her heel during the talk 🤣🤣

@Caroline_Bartma I could be incredibly bias but anything from @FaundezLab including newly minted Dr @mewynne759 latest work
