Grad students & postdocs getting creative with lab “waste”. Happy holidays from the van lanen lab!

@lexa_baskin @LexingtonHumane @CMartKY @UK_COP Phew. Resistance is always on the mind. Adorable puppy!

[Steven Van Lanen @LanenSteven]

@lexa_baskin @LexingtonHumane @CMartKY @UK_COP Does this mean a pup named piperacillin is coming soon? Don’t see how you can have one w/out the other!

[Steven Van Lanen @LanenSteven]

@BrianOBachmann Congrats BoB!

[Steven Van Lanen @LanenSteven]

An appropriate title for any research presentation?

@ghorsmano I suggested die hard, but people voted that it wasn’t an XMAX flick

The rohr & van lanen annual Christmas group meeting/potluck. Top voted XMAS flicks: Home alone, bad Santa (unfortunately most have not seen It’s a wonderful life)

Celebrating my 1000th tweet with a confession: many of my advice posts are inspired by mistakes I catch myself making or times I fall short as a leader and mentor. I’m basically just subtweeting myself.

We’re all in this together, working to create a better version of academia.

@FromPhDtoLife Patience, oh the patience!

Fortunate to have @biosynthetica visit UK and give a phenomenal talk! @GTsodikova

My new favorite paper by Liangcheng Du highlighting the power of gene inactivation to decipher biosynthetic pathways: Biosynthesis of the Polycyclic System in the Antifungal HSAF and Analogues from Lysobacter enzymogenes - Li - 2018 - Angewandte Chemie; https://t.co/EWKGigd4rL

Our most recent review is now online. Congrats to Fuzhuo and Xiao, and thanks to Bettina and Kylie for the invite. Honored to be part of this volume with @HysterLab and others

Michael Thomas schooling the UKCOP on nonribosomal peptide synthetases. The Walsh legacy carries on!

[Gavin Williams @ChemSynthBiol]

Several graduates in the Williams Lab have enjoyed industry internships in the past - this article describes how to get one! #phdlife #phdadvice https://t.co/SIy5GItQU0

Tomorrow, I am giving a seminar on how to build a long-lasting and satisfying career in science, and since it is the first seminar of the academic year I decided to use my time to do some mythbusting. Here is the list! What do you think? #phdchat #phdlife

Check out our newest review on defining the roles of oxygenases in the regulation of protein biosynthesis in The Chemical Record https://t.co/BUT1Zc0VoN by @lwalport

[Steven Van Lanen @LanenSteven]

Excellent paper-extremely difficult system to interrogate (multi-enzyme sugar biosynthesis) plus it contains one of my favorite families of enzymes, aKG-Fe(II)-dependent oxygenase

Not sure who originally did this, but I would like to thank him/her for getting one of my kids interested in microbes!

[Catherine Goodman @cate_goodman]

I have just discovered, thanks to @jbiolchem 's #1 trending article, that the word for macrophage in German is "fresszellen", i.e., cells that eat (but as in an animal eating, not a human). Awesome. #tinyhungryanimals #pseudokinase #troublewithtribbles https://t.co/9zMJ14NfAo

More validated gene clusters with their encoded products are available through MIBiG! 🙂 A useful resource for #naturalproducts and #SyntheticBiology among other fields....
