Missouri was the first state to pass an abortion ban after Roe was overturned. Tonight, they became the first state to reverse a total ban

As we headed towards year five, we felt it was time to hand over the reins to some new hosts. We are therefore delighted to announce that Dr. Jackie Pelham (WashU, USA) and Dr. Lucia Chemes (UNSAM, AR) have agreed to take over the hosting roles!

Just read and loved @HopeJahren ‘s The Story of More after rereading and reloving Lab Girl. Hope Jahren sure can write! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.

@nieminm @PelhamJackie @PLOSCompBiol @jefflotthammer Thank you!!

@tloch_ @PelhamJackie @jefflotthammer Thank you Tessa!!

[Alex Keeley @atkeeley00]

This was an amazing experience to have for my first first-author paper and I’m so grateful for @PelhamJackie 's guidance and mentorship and for trusting me with such a big project so soon after I joined her lab, and to @jefflotthammer for helping bring Rhythmidia to life!

[jackie pelham @PelhamJackie]

We are happy to announce that Rhythmidia, a modern tool for analyzing circadian phenotypes in race tube assays, is out in @PLOSCompBiol.

Led by the talented @atkeeley00!!

@MajdeckiMaciek What’s in that funnel??

[Alex Keeley @atkeeley00]

I hope it can serve as a resource for safe, fun, educational science! I welcome feedback and suggestions.

Hello friends! I wanted to share the pet project I’ve spent the last 5 months of free time putting together: https://t.co/4To5OsUqnx. I loved running chemistry demos at @UofIllinois and I wanted to make that safe and accessible for as many people as possible.

[Alex Keeley @atkeeley00]

Chemonstrating already has ~45 protocols (with more on the way) as well as resources on safety, supplies, and advice! I intend it to be ever-expanding— the possibilities of chemistry are endless, as is the number of ways to show people how amazing it can be.

[Alex Keeley @atkeeley00]

Not every demo was easy or clear, and I wanted written and video protocols that explained how to perform every demonstration safely, correctly, and with maximum effect for the audience. So I decided to start one.

[Alex Keeley @atkeeley00]

@tloch_ @PelhamJackie Thank you Tessa!

[Alex Keeley @atkeeley00]

Thrilled to announce the release of Rhythmidia- the work of my first six months as a tech in the @PelhamJackie lab!

[jackie pelham @PelhamJackie]

I am excited to share a new tool for the @NcrassaFungi circadian community for racetube analysis!

The development of this GUI was driven by @atkeeley00, with support from @jefflotthammer.

@NickDesnoyer @FMirasole Does this look to be tied to circadian biology? Or just light response?

[Alex Keeley @atkeeley00]

@tloch_ Congratulations!!

Stress granules can plug holes in punctured lysosomes.

Stephen Plassmeyer & @alexholehouse @WUSTLmed explain how this role for stress granules in organelle repair has implications for defence against tuberculosis https://t.co/YSSnKU4qVa

[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
