"The establishment and growth of scientific communities require long-term planning, political backing, and social and economic support. In many Latin American countries, these entities have been repeatedly shaken …," writes Antonio Lazcano in a new #ScienceEditorial. https://t.co/v80v25tfkF

Congratulations to Dr. Elizabeth Yates (former Legleiter Lab member) on receiving the outstanding researcher from a primary undergraduate institution award at the Biophysical Society Meeting in Los Angeles.

"[My adviser] told me that instead of focusing on finding a dream job, I should think about what I am good at and what makes me happy at least 80% of the time. This advice surprised me at first, but it ended up being exactly what I needed to hear." https://t.co/Wx7t2iiMZJ

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)

To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!

I’m one of those that left because of the broken trust.

In case you missed it, Adam also had a paper recently published in PLoS One on seeding effects in huntingtin aggregation. https://t.co/cl1sJCDJoB

Adam’s paper, “Divalent cations promote huntingtin fibril formation on endoplasmic reticulum derived and model membranes,” is published at BBA-Biomembranes. https://t.co/wXbVo8DTdT

Our lab’s new paper on the impact of crowding on huntingtin aggregation at interfaces has just been published. https://t.co/K3vgJG2eDb

[LegleiterLab @LabLegleiter]

New paper from the lab is now available. https://t.co/M2uG813Kqo

Congtats to Adewale Adegbuyiro for successfully defending his dissertation. Coincidentally, his paper in press posted on BBA-Biomembranes while he was defending. https://t.co/DpP2i1XaFk

[LegleiterLab @LabLegleiter]

Congrats to these two for all they accomplished in grad school.
