I asked Gemini 3 to make an interactive web page summarizing 10 breakthroughs in genetics over the past 15 years. Result:

Pretty cool IMO.

[COL Anne McClain @AstroAnnimal]

Few things cooler than doing science in space! The LSG (Life Sciences Glovebox) is an astronaut-favorite to work in. It’s neat having your hands in a glovebox and your feet can just dangle.

Many chronic diseases have a common denominator that could be driving their dysfunction: reduced protein mobility, which in turn reduces protein function. A new paper from @youngricka's lab describes this pervasive mobility defect: https://t.co/2BxETPuCra

An 11th grade student from Westford MA asks: what are condensates? Thank you postdoc Alessandra Dall'Agnese for answering their question!

Happy to share our study in @nchembio showing that small molecules partition selectively into biomolecular condensates that compartmentalize the cell! With @youngricka @BarzilayRegina Henry Kilgore @pgmikhael @CMVanDongen

Rick Young and I are very proud of the accomplishments of CAMP4 and will be discussing the methods to upregulate gene expression by targeting regRNAs (6/22 at 530 ET). @youngricka @camp4tx https://t.co/l4bBNKUMUC

Looks like Joan is a clue in the WashPo crossword puzzle today! 🤓

Expecting amazing things from this talented team!

[Ben Sabari @bsabari]

Happy holidays from the lab! Congrats to this group for a fantastic 2022 and an exciting 2023 to come.

“We have the observations that condensates form. Now we need to show why they are important.”

[Joan Steitz Lab @SteitzLab]

Celebrating 50 yrs of Joan!!! 🥳 Awesome to see so many trainees and friends 😁.

[Salman Banani @BananiSF]

We experimentally tested a small subset of the catalog and showed that the majority of tested mutations do indeed result in altered condensate properties in cells.

Effects ranged from reduced or enhanced condensate incorporation to altered condensate localization.

[Richard Young @youngricka]

This is an excellent idea to promote young scientists and give them the both the credit and responsibility they have earned through their work.

Paul Farmer, THE person who made health into a human right and inspired legions to take action, has died. The world weeps.
