My first tweet. This has been quite a year. Losing my beloved wife Miriam, my best friend for 38 years and soulmate forever, and starting to learn how to live life with only her memory.

Miriam left me with two pieces of advice.

@brenna_williams @kbath77 @KaramCaline Very proud of you.

@CorneliusGati Thanks. Lost my MD :) showed my 88 year old mother the tweet at dinner and she said where is your MD? Once a Jewish dr, always a.. :) looking forward 👌

@zenbrainest @CellCellPress Thanks Bryan!

[Jonathan A Javitch @JavitchLab]

Another amazing collaboration with @TheBlanchardLab! Thanks to them and all of our other fantastic collaborators without whom this work would not have been possible.

Our paper “GPCR-mediated β-arrestin activation deconvoluted with single-molecule precision” is out today! We use single-molecule FRET imaging and other biophysical approaches to explore the structural dynamics of β-arrestin1 activation upon binding GPCRs. (1/6)

On a quest to understand molecular mechanisms and how this can inform better treatments for depression, psychosis, and substance use disorders.

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome so far!

1) Work for joy and intellectual fulfillment – but not so hard... 2) Continue our adventures.

So, in that spirit, I have arrived to share my joy and intellectual fulfillment with respect to our lab’s work on GPCRs and transporters, from single molecules to behaving animals.
