@JPhipps94 @NatureCellBio @DubranaLab Congrats, Jamie!! 🎉

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

We're so pleased for our 2024 Fellow @CEmogor , who has been recognized with an international @IFAWUK award for his pangolin conservation work. Charles has just started his interdisciplinary Fellowship journey, we can't wait to see where he takes it https://t.co/8EVCJKa4Hf

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

Culture, community, ambition, risk, failure, and perseverance. Inclusion, perspective, and reflection...no punting...but pasta, and how to change the world. That's a wrap on the first Science Leadership Program for our 2024 Fellows.Thanks to all who made it special. Safe travels.

[PetrovicLab @ UCLA @petroviclab]

Excited to share that I'm starting a new research group at @uclachem and @cnsiatucla!

We'll focus on the molecular architecture of tight junctions - barriers crucial for human health - using biochemical reconstitution, cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, and cell-based assays.

@expery_ Congrats Expery!! 🎉

[Ci Ji Lim @cijilim]

1/7 Our latest preprint is out! 🚨 @Sour_Agrawal , @xiuhua_linwisc , @viveksusvirkar et al. discover human RPA is a critical telomerase processivity factor essential for telomere maintenance. This reshapes our understanding of human telomerase regulation. https://t.co/HJkap1APl4

[Sarah Cai @SarahWCai]

@cijilim @Sour_Agrawal @xiuhua_linwisc @viveksusvirkar Congrats CJ and team!! Really amazing work

[Sarah Cai @SarahWCai]

@HoorayForZinder Congrats!! 😁☺️

[Hannah Trost @HannahTrost1]

🔥 new preprint alert 🔥
So excited to see another piece of my PhD work up for everyone to see 🥳

[Sarah Cai @SarahWCai]

Thank you for this wonderful Spotlight, @LabNandakumar!

[JK Nandakumar lab @LabNandakumar]

Our Spotlight on beautiful work from the de Lange (@SarahWCai et al), Walz, and Cech labs.

At the end, it is POT1 again: Phosphorylation allows human telomeric protein POT1 to recruit the C-rich strand end replication machinery: Molecular Cell https://t.co/Or4tsqYYFP

@BadAtCloning @InLiuOfBulkExps Love the hand-drawn figures - so beautiful and cool 🤩

@QixiangHe @UWMadisonCALS @cijilim @UWBiochem @UWMadBiophysics Congrats Qixiang!!

[Sarah Cai @SarahWCai]

@RichardCLMay @activatefellows @StandPotential Congrats!! 🎉 Excited to see what’s to come!

[Richard May @RichardCLMay]

Decarbonizing the grid will require creative solutions to tough problems. With the support of @ActivateFellows, our team at @StandPotential is well-positioned to overcome these hurdles by minimizing both materials and manufacturing for #sodiumion #batteries.

[Ernst Schmid @ernstschmidd]

Excited to share that our new preprint is out! We used #AlphaFold multimer to screen 7000+ nuclear proteins to find new nucleosome acidic patch binders. Great collaboration between @FrogWalterLab and @LucasFarnung. https://t.co/CScq14Ssgw
