Such a tremendous honor to be selected as a UC President's Pre-Professoriate Fellow! 🙏

[Nora M. Shamoon, M.S. @NoraShamoon]

@JoVEJournal Thanks so much! 🎉

[Nora M. Shamoon, M.S. @NoraShamoon]

Our paper is now live in @JoVEJournal https://t.co/DxJFxF98ON

Video walkthrough dropping soon.

@JoVEJournal @UCSF Thank you! 😁

[Nora M. Shamoon, M.S. @NoraShamoon]

It was a great pleasure presenting our latest preprint (https://t.co/hFjTAdt8oW) today @UCSF which is now in press @JoVEJournal. Grateful to the wonderful infectious diseases research community in the Bay Area.

Friends 👩‍🔬🥼🧪 interested in preclinical models 🐁🪱 and fungal infection 🍄 -- check out our newest preprint 📰 describing a rigorous protocol to use the flatworm as a model for fungal infection. In a recent seminar I explain in detail 👩‍🏫: https://t.co/N9CTIbVT3H

@ucmerced @SloanFoundation @shaharsu @UCMChemistry you rock @shaharsu 👏👏👏

[UC Merced @ucmerced]

Prof. Shahar Sukenik is among this year's recipients of the @SloanFoundation research fellowship, the first faculty member on our campus to receive this award, for his research into intrinsically disordered proteins.

🎉It's finally out!! We show that intramolecular interactions in IDPs are strong enough to hold in the cell, but flexible enough to respond to cellular volume changes. A labor of love of many people, mainly recent graduate @david_c_moses and @the_KarinaG. https://t.co/4OePFPyaYD

[Shahar Sukenik @shaharsu]

...and today the second Ph.D. defense from the lab!! @david_c_moses will talk about how disordered proteins can act as sensors of their environment. Welcome to join at 12:30 PST via zoom https://t.co/BDoZw5HDLr

[Shahar Sukenik @shaharsu]

So excited for the first PhD defense from the lab - Feng Yu @FengYu_Bio @QSB_UCMerced is defending this Friday!!

[Alex Holehouse @alexholehouse]

Interested in understanding how and why IDRs matter for cellular function?

@BBKrage and I took a deep dive into this question and – with excellent feedback and critiques from colleagues & our amazing editor – put together our perspective on this: https://t.co/kmaC3Zhp3R

[Trends in Biochemical Sciences @TrendsBiochem]

Our December issue is compiled!

The cover depicts how the intrinsic disorder of proteins may act as cellular sensors of their #physicochemical environment (i.e. temperature, pH, redox state).

VALLEY FEVER: Possibility of an upcoming human vaccine for coccidioidomycosis is exciting. Workshop tomorrow on the vaccine (will talk about vaccine hesitancy in this era & how think vaccine uptake will be high among those at risk for this fungal pathogen)
