I am grateful and excited to share this work. MscK is a beautiful protein - working with it has been a joy. Congratulations to my supportive coauthors, mentors, and friends who made this possible @YuanLabWUSTL, Grigory Maksaev (WUSTL), Brock Summers (WUCCI), and @JAJFitzpatrick.

Excited to share our latest work on gating of a potassium-dependent mechanosensitive ion channel, MscK. Work led by an amazing graduate student @JonathanMount6 Congrats to all authors Greg, Brock, @JAJFitzpatrick. https://t.co/vdFJRHYO6a

@WajahatAli Yep, the uniparty are forced to show their colors when a real leftist candidate makes it to the general ballot.

PhD supervisor: What's wrong with your data?

@KyleKulinski @RepMGP They aren't idiots. They're complicit. They know exactly what they're doing.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

@briantylercohen It wasn't just several weak democrats that caved. They deliberately planned this for a sunday evening when their offices were closed and picked several to fall on the sword. Most were in on it. The democratic party is a controlled opposition and progressives need to overthrow it.

First they came for the Immigrants.
And I wrote a memo.
Then they came for trans people.
And I wrote a memo.
Then they came for the comedians.
And I wrote a memo.
Then they came for me.
And there was no one to write a memo for me.

@mbeisen Maybe 6 or 7 people

@mumumouse2 Lol this is so weird

[Joseph Allen @j_g_allen]

Fixed it:
--> last year, the U.S. sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal **combined**
--> every $1 of research funded by NIH generates $2.56 in economic activity
--> more than 1.1M foreign students come to the U.S. each year to study and they contributed over $43 billion to the U.S. economy in foreign currency balances
--> students who came to the U.S. to study founded 55% of America’s 582 start-up companies worth at least $1 billion
--> cutting health research in Texas will cause a loss of 3,698 jobs and cost the economy $856M
--> The University of Alabama is the largest employer in the state
--> shortage of trained occ/env docs set to cost CA $1B

RECEIPTS🧵

Oh please. There’s a lot of room for improvement at the NIH, but its entire budget is less than 1% of total federal expenditures in 2024.

Dear Ion Channel and Structural Biology friends - I'm moving over to Bluesky! I'll still be here from time to time but plan to be more active over there ([email protected]). Catch you on the flipside!

@alexjamesnoble Y axis shifted to exaggerate the difference. Also this graph was made before the vote count was complete, so it's just very misleading

Two of the most qualified women in the country ran for president against an unqualified, racist game show host who had a history of committing fraud and sexual abuse. And the country was basically split 50-50. That should tell us some things.

Happy Halloween!

This meme is a joke but also life-changing advice if taken to heart

@jdpereira This is awesome, not silly!

If Billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk don't want Kamala Harris to win, maybe she's actually good for people who aren't billionaires.

Collaborative work of @slavicaPD, @Hashemyaser4, Jovanovic Lab and @DjuranovicLab - a new method to isolate ribosomes and translational material in minutes. We show multiple usage of our RAPPL method in biochemical and structural assays with ribosomes. Please be free to contact us for further instructions if needed. @IsraelF96135088 you'll like this one.
