I have some real concerns about what another Trump presidency means for women in this country — and I wanted to share some of my thoughts. If this resonates with you, send this video to every single person you know and remind them what’s at stake in this election.

Biologists would love to be able to read out the amino-acid sequence of any protein molecule as they would the letters of a sentence.

A system in which a biological motor pulls proteins through a pore brings the dream closer to reality https://t.co/D4qHVSO7h7

In 2018 our lab began an outreach program with a local middle school, inspired in large part by @HittingerLab Wild YEAST Program. We thought we could further engage the students in the process of identifying yeast species and also learn something about S. cerevisiae diversity 1/n
