Even more wonderful talks at #ACA2024 from former Drennan Lab members. Yan Kung talked about his cool crystallographic research at Bryn Mawr College and Christina Zimanyi about setting up a natl facility to do electron diffraction experiments

A big congratulations to former Drennan lab alum Sarah Bowman of Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute for being named an ACA Fellow #ACA2024.

#ACA2024 protein enthusiasts, come hear about my new lab’s research program during General Session III from 3:30-3:55pm in Conifer! Yes, bacteria do have organelles!!! And metabolic bacterial microcompartments are absolutely beautiful icosohedral units (only a little biased).

As we continue our ACAxtal 2024 meeting, I'm hoping all involved in structural science will save the the date for IUCr2026! Here is Jenny Wierman from macchess and I at the IUCr2026 booth at the #ACA2024 (and 3rd year with the hats!) CNC_Crystals IUCr U.S. National Committee for Crystallography

Great session on metallomolecules at #ACA2024. Special shutout to Drennan lab postdoc Dana Westmoreland, who killed it with a fantastic talk on RNR.

Drennan lab past and current gathered at #ACA2024

Arriving early to get good seats for Dana Westmoreland's talk. With @legendofchrista of MIT Chemistry and Laurel Kinman of MIT Biology and Lindsey R.F. Backman of Whitehead Institute. @legendofchrista gave a great poster, Laurel Kinman gave a great talk, and Lindsey R.F. Backman's talk is next. #ACA2024.

Is it true? Lindsey R.F. Backman’s first talk as an independent investigator? Let’s go #ACA2024! Also: if you don’t have a cool lab logo, why did you even start a research group?

Helen MC look what you’ve done! Lindsey R.F. Backman continues the story…

I wanted to share an update on my health. I encourage everyone to get your routine screenings, exams, and follow-ups. Thankfully I am now cancer free!

As the aging dad of an adult daughter with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD) my hope for this next White House Administration: we shape a transformative approach to support adults with IDD + their families, with a roadmap for what happens when the parents are not here

Excited to expand our efforts to domesticate Clostridia, with support from #NSF, and awesome collaborators Nicholas Sandoval and Aimee Shen. Actively looking for a postdoc interested in pioneering new ways to genetically engineer non-model microbes. che.northeastern.edu/news/engineeri… Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University
