Attention #ChiefsKingdom! It's #superbowl week & we have a friendly wager w/ @GladstoneInst! When the @Chiefs win we’ll be enjoying #SanFrancisco sourdough bread & Ghiradelli chocolate! 🍞 If @49ers take home the #Lombardi we’ll send some #KanasCity BBQ 🏈 Stay tuned & #GoChiefs!

[Joe Chiodo @JoeChiodo]

Game on @GladstoneInst! Excited for a Chiefs win AGAIN!

[Stowers Institute @ScienceStowers]

Hey @GladstoneInst, our President (@Planaria1) & Scientific Director have a wager for your Pres.! If the @chiefs win the @SuperBowl, @dsrivastava_md will have to wear some #Chiefs gear! If the @49ers win, they'll sport some #SanFrancisco gear. Remember, winning is in our #DNA!

Thank you to Graham Walker, @MITBiology @MIT, for joining us for a fantastic #WednesdayLectureSeries, hosted by @SivaSankariIMS Lab! 👏

[UVM Plant Biology @UVMplantbio]

Great talk by Dr. Siva Sankari, an Assistant Professor @ScienceStowers who studies plant peptides that control endosymbiotic bacteria. Thanks @SivaSankariIMS for sharing your insights on “Host peptides exploit symbiotic bacteria – significance & applications”. It was exciting!!

[Prof. Nikolai Slavov @slavov_n]

A reminder that proteins are highly dynamic molecules.

Both my graduate and postdoc mentors, who were top of their game, published exclusively in JBC. So did I until about ~2000s. One reason I moved (regretfully) elsewhere is when postdocs in our lab complained that they couldn't get academic jobs unless they had "high impact" pubs.
