What a FANTASTIC Ion channels GRS! Gordon Research Conferences THANKS to all the attendees! You made the experience of chairing this conference GREAT. We miss my co-chair Luis O. Romero, but looking forward to the next one. Congrats to the new chairs Paula Bender & Roberta Castelli!

Growing up in New England, the Thursday 🦞 was an even sweeter treat after moving to the Midwest last fall! Thanks Teresa Giraldez and Baron Chanda for organizing a wonderful 2024 Ion Channels GRC.

Work from Amanda Lewis and Marie Cronin now published Neuron. Piezo 1 ion channels can signal to other nearby membrane proteins just by changing their shape: doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

I'm excited to share our serendipitous findings, now published in Nature, that reveal in high-resolution detail how sterols, PIP2, and PS are organized within the plasma membrane by a stretch-sensitive lattice of BAR-domain proteins. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye! The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our lab morale day back in August, inspired by HHMI! Unfortunately, Hope was not able to join us. We had a blast axe throwing! I intentionally am not posting any scorecards for self-preservation… 😉 Year one done and dusted ✅ 🥼 🧪 🧫 with lots of celebrations all around!

For me, moving to a new town/city means that I need to come up with new extracurricular activists to do. So here is my second attempt (first success) at the wheel at the IC rec center. I’m warming up to it. 😊

Have you ever wondered how mitochondrial and cytosolic pathways for de novo lipogenesis (DNL) interact? We did! Published Online today (cell.com/cell-metabolis…) and led by first-author Adam Rauckhorst, we traced 13C-labeled lactate/pyruvate, acetate, the ketone

Happy to introduce DeFrND: designer peptide scaffolds to enable detergent-free reconstitution of membrane proteins with native lipids into nanodiscs for biochemical and structural studies. Let me know if you would like to try it. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Although I’ve been on it for less than a week, I do recommend Bluesky if you’re missing scientific Twitter from pre-pandemic times. It is nice to see more publications and less random junk in my “Following” feed.
