I am excited to preprint my postdoc work in the James Olzmann! We have discovered the first lipid droplet quality control pathway with broad implications for lipid physiology and diseases associated with LD accumulation and oxidative stress! #lipidtime shorturl.at/2HqFd

My lab at UVA is looking to hire a Postdoc to study mechanisms of DNA repair in chromatin using biochemical, biophysical, and structural biology approaches! Feel free to share with anyone you think may be interested. jobs.virginia.edu/us/en/job/R006…

Our article on GPCR fragment-based drug discovery via in situ #NMR is out at ACSChemicalBiology: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… Congratulations Enzo, Guillaume, Jens Meiler Lab and others not on social media. #NMRchat

Attention students and postdocs - apply for the MBL Physiology course and come find out why so many Physiology students describe the course as life-changing!!! mbl.edu/education/adva…

Cool new method! Analyze tons of properties of all sorts of nanoparticles (vesicles, viruses, nanodiscs etc etc) with a simple confocal microscope.

Things I wish more people knew about doing science in the US (thread):

Using lipidomics, a Ilya Levental study found that unlike previously assumed, the distribution of phospholipids in a membrane is asymmetrical. This imbalance is stabilized by high levels of cholesterol, which regulates cellular cholesterol homeostasis. ow.ly/eMyn50VuejI

Been thinking about biomembranes? Wondering what next decade of research will be? Wonder no more: there's an awesome conference in Copenhagen in July!! From simulations to cells and everything in between. 5 days left to submit abstract - APPLY! biophysics.org/blog/beyond-si…

Dear Lipid Researchers, I am not able to commit to running TLC any longer. I think it is a useful resource so I am taking applications for someone to take over. Please e-mail me if you are interested. Thanks! :-)

Grateful to see a briefing of our new paper shared more widely always meaningful when the science resonates beyond the lab. Great collaboration with amazing scientists shiqiong hu Seham Ebrahim Bechara Kachar

Our latest review on GPCR-lipid interactions is out at Curr. Opin. in Struct. Biol. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Congratulations to postdoc Dr. Greeshma Jain!

Really good review on novel methods for assessing membrane protein conformational landscapes and the lipid dependence thereof #lipidtime

When UVA is under threat, Wahoos rise to the occasion. Join me and @Wahoos4UVA. Speak up for truth, integrity, and the University we all love. #Wahoos4UVA wahoos4uva.com/letter

The oldest known footage of soccer being played in the US 🇺🇸 On November 13, 1921, San Francisco’s Italia Virtus club played the visiting crew from the Italian Navy cruiser RM Libia at Golden Gate Park Stadium. 🎥 S.A.S.H., Cineteca di Bologna

I think one reason some tech people are unwilling to grapple with DOGE’s failure is that it would require acknowledging that their entire belief system about government — and in some ways broader worldview — was wrong.

Check out our new preprint on the discovery of a molecular switch in NAC that mediates nascent chain sorting on the ribosome and prevents mitochondrial protein mistargeting by SRP. A great collaboration with the Shan Lab Caltech and the Qi Lab UVA: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

FINALLY! This was challenging to publish but we believe it is an important discovery: rdcu.be/eATDa 💫Thanks to the amazing team 💫 Abin Biswas Omar Muñoz Kyoohyun Kim Carsten Hoege Benjamin Lorton Rainer Nikolay Matthew L. Kraushar David Shechter GuckLab 🇺🇦 Vasily Zaburdaev 🇺🇦
