I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are. ~Mewtwo | Du Bois Lab
Told myself I would take a break from social media but then I saw I reached 50 citations!! I know this number is quite small overall but still an exciting milestone for postdocs/ECRs :)

60 years ago today, Fannie Lou Hamer drew national attention when she testified before the Democratic National Convention’s credentials committee, challenging Mississippi’s all-white delegation. She detailed violence against Black Americans in Mississippi, including her own beating in the Winona jail.
“All of this is on account of we want to register, to become first-class citizens,” she said. “And if the Freedom Democratic Party is not seated now, I question America. Is this America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, where we have to sleep with our telephones off the hooks because our lives be threatened daily, because we want to live as decent human beings, in America?”
Before she could finish, President Lyndon Johnson’s office got the networks to cut away from her testimony for an impromptu press conference at the White House. But later that night, Hamer’s testimony ran on all the networks.
Asked why she kept pushing for the civil rights of Black Americans, she replied, “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party failed to unseat the all-white delegation, but four years later, Hamer returned in triumph, receiving a standing ovation as the first Black delegate from Mississippi since Reconstruction. https://t.co/k42qpnSHdT

With my fellow Mississippian and student host Lawrence Berg ("looking like we're staring at a plate of fried catfish"). I'm so grateful to Stanford trainees for their hospitality and generous sharing of their visions of the future.
Here's part two of our investigations into bicyclo[1.1.1]pentylphosphine chemistry. Our goal this time was an entry into Bcp₂PX chemistry that didn't require PH₃. https://t.co/2Fw39j2ZNa
🧵A 3 On Your Side investigation finds 2 public officials -- Richland Mayor Pat Sullivan & Pearl Police Chief Dean Scott -- claimed to be two places at once dozens of times & got paid tens of thousands from taxpayers for a Rankin Co. job few knew about. /1

@StanfordUChem hosted @Merck for our annual Merck-SHC Symposium this past Friday, and the Du Bois Lab was out in full force. Thanks to @The_Ice_Berg for the great talk and to Steven and @zac_ngu for the wonderful posters! Shoutout to @TehshikYoon for the interesting seminar!
Dr. Katie Kapp started her journey as a scientist growing crystals. Today, she’s diving into proteomics to improve human health. Join her in that journey by attending the 2024 US HUPO Conference in Portland, OR. #USHUPO2024#USHUPO20yrs

Super excited that this side project is available online!! We designed a module to help make the teaching of proteomics accessible and to give undergrads a cool example of LC-MS applications #proteomics#teammassspec#chemed
