@ATinyGreenCell This would be the only way I would ever beat Malenia

[Jason Withorn @JasonWithorn]

@ATinyGreenCell It’s okay, clearly their AI model isn’t well trained. If you’re gonna talk about SBU, at least mention Roth Regatta

[Jason Withorn @JasonWithorn]

Today @StonyBrookChem hosted our 25th Chemistry Research Day! Great chance for students to present their work.

Proud of both the undergraduate students that work with me, they both presented their first posters and absolutely crushed it!

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins.

In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

Am I making overnight cultures, or are the flasks worshipping their leader?

@liv4bacteria lol we all have this gel

The lovely things you see cleaning out the old -20 C freezer your lab inherited.

Point of View: Applied research won’t flourish without basic science https://t.co/limtJWrJOw

@ATinyGreenCell Have you tried higher concentrations of histidine elutions. I’ve never used sand based resins, but at least for IMAC we use 20 mM imidazole only releases the weakly bound proteins. We bump up to 250 mM to elute, so maybe higher would work?

Lactate is an important substrate🍔for P. aeruginosa in infection sites. We show that PA’s “redundant” lactate dehydrogenases are used by different biofilm subpopulations and contribute to survival within macrophages🦠Great work by @Lindsey_Florek& collabs.https://t.co/k41hriJ6S0

@SigmaAldrich Left most of the time. But let me tell you, the two things that go missing 98% of the time in lab are 1) sharpies and 2) scissors

So I am definetly guilty of the right hand side too

[Jason Withorn @JasonWithorn]

Natalie was awesome to work with!

She did everything. PCR, protein purification, FPLC, HPLC, kinetics, yada yada yada. I could go on and on!

Crazy to think how much she was able to do and learn! Any college would be lucky to have her!

[TheBoonGroup @group_boon]

Last week we said goodbye to Natalie Osorio, a high school student who got a chance to work in the @group_boon this summer thanks to the Simon’s Foundation.

Natalie worked with @JasonWithorn exploring the structure/function relationship of NosP in Pa!
