Cannot say enough good things about Andrew as a mentor, scientist and person. So exciting and highly recommended this lab to incoming students!

Over the last year, I fell down a rabbit hole that ended up tumbling me through one the biggest paradigm shifts I've experienced in my four decades on this planet. Today, I share it with you. I hope you, squawk, enjoy. radiolab.org/podcast/seagul…

Did you know there’s a tiny town in Montana with two Krios scopes? Beyond a large Krios per capita ratio, the people are really what makes this place special! Grateful for my time learning EM at Rocky Mountain Labs, and excited to start grad school at UC Berkeley this fall!

📢I'm hiring! Postdocs, PhDs, and Research Techs at Dept. of Penn Biology at Penn! We'll use bioinformatics 🖥️, biochem 🧪, and cryo-EM ❄️🔬, to study how CRISPR systems work & applications. Work on cool science with a supportive mentor! web.sas.upenn.edu/sanfrango-lab/ RTs appreciated!

Embarrassing how giddy I was to see that my favorite podcast highlighted my paper! Go to minute 36 for a Bozeman shoutout :)

Please join me in congratulating Dominick Faith on advancing to PhD candidacy! Congrats Dom! Special thanks to Wiedenheft Lab for joining us from Montana State this morning

Our team at #CZImagingInstitute is excited to share the #CryoET Data Portal beta release. With over 13,000 tomograms, it’s the start of what we hope will be a large, open-access portal of high-quality, standardized & annotated cryo-ET data. bit.ly/3T9sZ6D

The Santiago-Frangos lab is open and ready to do some exciting research on CRISPR biology and CRISPR applications! Ecstatic to be on UPenn's campus amongst such a supportive group of excellent scientists!🤓

New preprint! Ben Adler and I @doudna_lab, in collaboration with Emily Armbruster and @JoePogliano, unveil a mechanism for Hachiman immunity. The punchline - Hachiman is a genome integrity sensor. College of Chemistry @igisci HHMI biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵 1/14

Cellular repair of DNA breaks enables editing of the human genome. Do human cells repair RNA breaks, and can we use it to edit transcriptomes? Our work with Anna Nemudraia and Wiedenheft Lab is now online in Science Magazine! #ScienceResearch science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

What limits rubisco function? Is it the chemical mechanism? Evolution? In an updated pre-print Michael Prywes et. al explore this question by assaying >99% of single amino acid mutants in Form II rubisco (1/7)

Recently, Kithmini Herath, Matthew, and I were lucky enough to become the Lucas labs (@bronwynalucas) first graduate students. We‘ll be spending the summer finding proteins inside cells, learning and raiding the stellar snack cupboard at the CZI Science imaging institute

Congrats to MCB's David Savage Savage Lab on his promotion to Professor of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology! 👏🥂 mcb.berkeley.edu/news-and-event…

Check out the latest story from the Sternberg group: phages coopted transposon-encoded nucleases (TnpB) and repurposed them for regulation of host genes! nature.com/articles/s4158… Thrilled to see this work in print, & a huge thanks to my amazing co-authors!!

I can’t think of cooler work to fund, but am a bit biased. Congratulations!!

We're Hiring! Assistant Professor of Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Structural Biology in MCB. Learn more and apply online: aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04562

1/8 ❄️🔬Excited to share our latest work published in Nature Communications! Led by Kaitlyn Abe and in colab with Tim Grant, we've discovered a simple, cost-effective way to mitigate sample damage at the air-water interface during grid preparation. #CryoEM rdcu.be/dSWfn

Congrats to MCB's Bronwyn Lucas @bronwynalucas and Ziyang Zhang Ziyang Zhang on being among the 2024 #NIHHighRisk New Innovator Awardees! NIH Common Fund 👏🎉commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator/A…

The Cryo-EM: the next 50 years Symposium held yesterday at UC Berkeley was a smashing success!!

This month's faculty focus interview features Bronwyn Lucas! On running a lab: "It’s about equipping the people in my lab to tackle challenges & mentoring them as they develop their own approaches." Read more on our website: bit.ly/QB3_Bronwyn
