Our new issue features the MitoCarta Tree of Life (MitoTOL) Consortium👉https://t.co/uP2kI6DjtL

On the cover: a transmission electron micrograph of mitochondria , digitally rendered in the style of a watercolor painting.

Parasitic protists cause diseases like sleeping sickness & leishmaniasis, affecting ~1B people/year. But #HHMIInvestigator Vamsi Mootha & co have ID'd a vulnerability they share: ancient mitochondrial machinery that could be targeted by a new kind of drug https://t.co/wTdqenltig

Proud to share the fruits of a 4 year effort with an amazing team at the MitoCarta Tree of Life Consortium! Today, we report insights on the origin and evolution of mitochondrial proteomes across billions of years: https://t.co/3iaZWTejSS

We are so inspired and humbled by Team Abby Mac (=Abby and her father Greg MacCurtain) -- who ran the virtual @BostonMarathon this morning to raise funds and awareness for Leigh syndrome, a rare genetic disease that impacts mitochondria.

We might be masked, but we won't be muffled! To remember the killing of George Floyd on 5/25, today I ran 5.25 miles to remember him as part of the Promise Run for Medicine in Motion's MOVE Campaign. Please support our cause at https://t.co/HQk2hMaKTE or by Venmo to @MedMotion.

On September 6th, I'll be running 5.25 miles to remember George Floyd as part of the Promise Run from Medicine in Motion’s MOVE Campaign to help raise funds and awareness for racial equity. To donate, please visit https://t.co/HQk2hMaKTE or by Venmo to @MedMotion. Thank you!

@MayaTalukdar @mit_hst A kernel of truth in these words :)

A perk of getting up for classes at 2am due to time zone differences: getting to watch the sunrise on the Rockies afterwards!
