@iancassel When the share price of a company that I decided not to invest in goes up, I remind myself that if I had a looser threshold to buying stocks, I would’ve also invested in many more losing stocks along with that one winner that I missed.

@RTelford_invest Depends on what “better” means to the listener.

In person, we see the imperfect human/s creating something nearly perfect. The appreciation of how something so beautiful could have so easily failed can be infinitely better experience than a perfect audio recording 🙂

@Gisforgrowth @TMFScottP If $X extra for everyone, those who couldn’t afford it still can’t afford it because they’re competing with everyone else who now also has an additional $X to spend.

So 1.) housing affordability isn’t solved, 2.) housing prices go up 3.) $X ends up with sellers. Rich get richer.

@AltAcChats Sub-Dean of a residential college (in Australia).
While doing my PhD in Biochemistry, I lived in the college and worked as a Residential Advisor (provided pastoral care for other residents). They knew I wanted to leave academia, thought I’d be a good fit in this role.

@amydjohn Was a Resident Advisor (provided pastoral care, etc.) at a residential college while doing my phd. They hired me as their Sub Dean of residents right after I submitted my thesis!

Thankful my PhD supervisor @j_mylne gave me the freedom to explore conA circular permutation even though it’s outside of his area of expertise.

ConA has a long history and is a common reagent, so this work is getting noticed, especially by experienced scientists! @PlantTeaching

[Samuel Nonis @SamuelGNonis]

@PlantTeaching @j_mylne Hadn’t thought of adding things to Wikipedia before. Come to think of it, it would make for a nice science communication exercise whenever we publish 😃

Thanks for the suggestion, Mary! I’ll give it a go for sure.

[Samuel Nonis @SamuelGNonis]

conA:
-Discovered 1919
-Among early proteins solved by X-ray crystallography (1972)
-Maturation process involving circular permutation discovered in 1985 and still the only type known to do so.
The precursor was assumed uninteresting all this while, but here we learn otherwise!

This has been online a while at @biorxivpreprint and at @ThePlantCell, but only recently came out in tree-friendly form https://t.co/idUGjsf0Jq
After 40+ years, the carbohydrate-binder 'conA' remains a freak of nature being a protein circularly permuted post-translation ... 1/4

@abighifari @j_mylne @biorxivpreprint @ThePlantCell @Tatiana_Biochem @Joel_Haywood88 @CharlieBondXray @SMS_UWA @PlantEnergyBiol @PerthProteins Pretty bummed I can’t join you guys at the AGM 😢 I’m on the iPREP industry placement at the moment.

@j_mylne @theCCDM @CurtinUni If it’s the same content as before, I reckon even those that have used Adobe Illustrator before would find it very useful! Your material goes through lots of publication-specific intricacies 🙂
