Finally 😊

Thrilled to share our recent article that describes the development of engineered antibodies with a high degree of sequence specificity and structural recognition to target G-quadruplex structures on the hepatitis B viral genome (HBV). @uLethbridge

Your brain runs a constant cleanup operation 🧹When it fails, toxic proteins accumulate & spread, linking it to neurogenerative diseases.

Trainees Gerardo & Sharanya in @RyanLab_UofC are studying how these molecular changes begin. Read their full Q&A's: https://t.co/hBlAYXwqse

@ABDanielleSmith Amazing idea! Now cops can discriminate based on migration status instead of just colour too 😍❤️

Conservatives are just so smart 😍🙂

[Gerardo Balderas Figueroa @FlyingBCHEMist]

@ABDanielleSmith Lol it’s almost as if better gun regulations could solve the problem.

[mohammed hussein~Gaza 🇵🇸 @mohammedIhysse]

I defended my master’s thesis amid the rubble of war in Gaza 💔… My dream was to pursue a PhD immediately, but the war stole time, destroyed the universities, and blocked my path.

But I decided not to give up. From this moment on, I will follow PhD books online, study alone, and grant myself the academic degree myself… because dreams should not be delayed, and because I may die at any moment, but I want to die chasing my dream, not burying it with my own hands.

I will build my dream with my own hands…

An amazing opportunity to talk about my work through a different lens! Can’t wait to keep growing in my communication skills! Thanks to @StemCellNetwork @CCRM_ca and @MbD_UofT for the opportunity!

[Stacey Johnson @msstaceyerin]

I had the pleasure of judging the talks today and I'm excited that @SylviaMTAlmeida and @xgerka, both winners, want to blog for @Signalsblogs. If they write as well as they speak...#scicomm. Now if only I can convince @tanroopaujla 😉🤞

[Ryan Lab @RyanLab_UofC]

Excited to share our first publication at @UCalgaryMed @HotchkissBrain!
Congratulations @ShehaniVs @_SharanyaT @xgerka 🎉🍾

@JustinTrudeau Okay bye everyone 👋🏽

[Michael Smith Labs @ubcmsl]

Research from the #GsponerLab published in @PNASNews today focuses on the AlphaFold-Multimer platform, a platform recognized with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2024.

This new paper evaluates and provides guidance for using the platform to predict binding interactions of intrinsically disordered protein regions.

Had the opportunity to come together as patients, clinicians, scientists, and trainees to discuss #PD as part of the #CaPRI initiative at @UCalgaryMed @HotchkissBrain #Parkinsons @_SharanyaT @ShehaniVs

[mohammed hussein~Gaza 🇵🇸 @mohammedIhysse]

I prepared and defended my master's thesis amidst the sounds of bombing and terror during the Gaza war, to send a message to the world that we in Gaza deserve life and are waiting for the sun of freedom. We are waiting for the world to see us 💔.

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?

And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.

Now that the Nobel prizes for biology, biology, and biology are announced, I can’t wait to see which biologists win for peace and literature!

[Sketching Science @sketchscience]

Wonderful news! Parafilm M rules!
Very well-deserved recognition after helping so many other #NobelPrize winners achieve their breakthroughs! Congratulations @ParafilmM

@JustinTrudeau What a joke.
