My first-author paper on novel DPP-4 fluorescent probe design is now published in @ChemComm as part of their 60th Anniversary Collection! This was made possible by co-authors Yanan & Sam, my Ph.D. advisor, and everyone in the Petersson lab @PennChemistry

I am sad to report that Bill Catterall has died. He was an enormous presence @UW.

[Dr. Sharona Gordon 🏳️‍🌈 🔬 @ProfSharona]

It is heart breaking. He just got his PhD from @UW Jackson School.

@ProfSharona @UW He was murdered

Hiam Katsman, former @UW student and Seattle native, has been abducted from his home in Kibbutz Holit in Israel by Hamas. Prayers needed.

Congratulations! This is a well deserved recognition. We read the Levental’s papers all the time to gain insight on lipid organization and dynamics.

I’m proud of our postdocs and research scientists. They sacrificed wages and risked their jobs to show faculty what it takes to gain a real voice within our Institutions. @UAW4121 @uwrunited #PostdocPower

So proud of my sister ⁦@ProfSharona⁩ for US postdocs on strike: how will demands for higher wages be met? https://t.co/tb9uncvOrO

@johnrbankston My second favorite wildlife sighted on this trip. As a vegan, I had to ask friends to identify. It’s a shrimp! And it was walking really fast away from the water. Must have had a death wish?

Can anyone tell me what kind of shark this was? Washed up on Oregon coast. Maybe 5’ long.

Can NIH really police sexual harassment? Here's one tale that will leave you wondering from @ScienceMagazine @NewsfromScience @NASEM

I’m am broken hearted to learn of the passing of Rich Gardner. He was a scientist’s scientist and a passionate educator. Rich, I’m really going to miss you. https://t.co/0K5odMWKRm

@NeedhiBhalla In addition to this issue of valuing publications, I think a lot about who has access to high quality reviews. Researchers from non-R1 inst. have less access to critiques from experienced colleagues if their MSs don’t get sent for review.

Need advice: I am trying to bring a student from Iran to my lab in a VISIT visa. Although she has all the paperwork and bank statements to demonstrate she has required funds, the US embassy in Turkey denied her visa, saying they did not believe she had the funds. How can I help?
