If anyone lives in Arizona and has time, there's a group that needs help curing ballots. This could mean the difference between gaining and losing the House

If you're in AZ and can spend today and/or Sunday curing ballots please email me: [email protected]

Thank you to all the speakers at the #NDiSTEM2024 / @SACNAS session on "Navigating STEM with a disability: Strategies for success". If you're a geoscience student who needs accessible options for field camps, I think applications for programs run by @BakingSodaVolc will open soon

[@KayTrue on all platforms (Sarah L. Keller) @KayTrue]

Representing @UW at #NDiSTEM2024 of @SACNAS! If you’re an undergraduate, please check out summer research opportunities at @IMOD_STC and @UW_CEI, and apply to graduate school at @UWChemistry! Deadlines are coming up, and we'd love to receive your applications

[@KayTrue on all platforms (Sarah L. Keller) @KayTrue]

Hooray! See you at the @SACNAS meeting! I'll be representing @UWChemistry @inclusivechem

[Whitney Stevens-Sostre, PhD Boricua 🇵🇷 @StevensSostre]

On my way to @SACNAS for #2024NDiSTEM! 🤩 Excited to reconnect with peers and meet the future of STEM 🫶🏾

Join us at our NDiSTEM professional development panel on November 2nd!

If you see me around ask me about #BlackInBiophysics, graduate school at @uw_ntp, or just say hi 👋🏾

I love marking my ballot at home then mailing it or swinging by a ballot box. Thank you Washington State & King County elections for making it so easy to vote! My deep thanks to U.S. citizens who will be standing in lines because they have no other choice – I've done that too!

[@KayTrue on all platforms (Sarah L. Keller) @KayTrue]

There are many ways to encourage other Americans to vote on November 5th and to help our democracy represent more of its people. For example, you can join me in writing letters through Vote Forward (https://t.co/Q1OyI4CplN). Letters should be sent by Oct 29, so check it out soon!

Hey @UW friends - the Combined Fund Drive (https://t.co/pwrs7lZSoq) has started! Want to donate directly to @UWChemistry? So easy! I just did. Also to @voicesofnw_ea, the featured charity. In the 1st week, increasing a donation by $5, gets you a $5 coffee card (so very Seattle)

[@KayTrue on all platforms (Sarah L. Keller) @KayTrue]

Thanks for your kind words (and congratulations on your paper), Sreeja!

[Sreeja Sasidharan @SreejaSasidhar6]

What can be a better ���.Today I was gifted Biophysical Journal's hard copy by my super nice advisor @sm_aurelia where my article got published.The beautiful cover art design is by the scientist I admire most @KayTrue is the added happiness. Shout out to all postdoc advisors 🙌

[@KayTrue on all platforms (Sarah L. Keller) @KayTrue]

I don't know which of the many kind people in @UWChemistry posted these thoughtful notes on the doors of our main lecture hall to encourage @UW students during their exams last term. Whoever you are, you are wonderful, and I am so glad to work with you.

[Research Corporation for Science Advancement @RCSA1]

Mid-career teacher-scholars in chemistry, physics or astrophysics with interest in leadership should apply by Nov. 1 for 2025 Academic Leadership Workshop, to be held Feb. 20-22, 2025, at Johns Hopkins. Supported by a #CottrellScholars Collaborative award. https://t.co/twQRO2OeGK

A great paper to start with is https://t.co/IWM8lnO5W8, which uses statistical physics to describe the shape of your ponytail, though not the length at which each strand will break. This paper won @goldlabUC an Ig Nobel prize. Maybe one of these prizes is in your future too!

[Brian Sun @brianthedelight]

Can polymer science be used to understand human hair length equilibrium? At certain length, the probability of hair growth is lower than hair breaking🤔. I want answers. #polymer #beauty what paper should I read?

The beautiful @UW campus is ready to welcome students for the start of the autumn term. I'm double-ready this year with updated covid and influenza vaccine boosters

[@KayTrue on all platforms (Sarah L. Keller) @KayTrue]

@ibudin @James_Saenz Totally! We referenced @James_Saenz: "Additional applications might lie in engineering minimal cell systems to function with only two classes of lipids (41); if one of those classes were a sterol–lipid, it would be interesting to test whether the cell membrane phase-separates"

[@KayTrue on all platforms (Sarah L. Keller) @KayTrue]

Could be! We referenced your preprint: "Additional applications might lie in engineering minimal cell systems to function with only two classes of lipids (41); if one of those classes were a sterol–lipid, it would be interesting to test whether the cell membrane phase-separates"

[James Saenz @James_Saenz]

This is indeed a really excellent and interesting #lipidtime paper by @KayTrue ... could this be why Mycoplasma/JCVI-Syn3 also need at least two lipids? https://t.co/LIXmzztbiV

Hey, Brian Saam (@CougPhysics)! Have you seen this Food Pantry Challenge, my friend?

[@KayTrue on all platforms (Sarah L. Keller) @KayTrue]

I'm a fan of the Food Pantry Challenge the Univ of Washington & Washington State Univ are holding until Sept 14. Every donation (any size) counts as a gift. The university w/ the most gifts will be honored at the Apple Cup game. You can donate at https://t.co/jCA5ER9yhv (I did!)
