And it’s a wrap !!! I really enjoyed the 2024 Proteostasis meeting at CSH

thx to Judith, Marlene, Rick and Ulrich for your work and see you in 2026!!!

10pm Saturday night - I officially just finished marking exams … now I don’t have any excuse for not reviewing an assigned manuscript and work on a team grant!

Meanwhile in Vancouver - total day long solar eclipse

We were so lucky to have Manu Hegde give a talk to show us how classy biochemistry is!

Oh man this was right in front of me and I didn’t see it… yes my own name !!!

I am rebranding this as our Samosa Sundown Poster Session and doors open at 3:30 not 3pm 😉

Our paper on functional discovery of protein degradation and stabilization effectors with proteome-scale induced proximity screens is out in its final version! 1/ nature.com/articles/s4158… rdcu.be/dBUju

We had a great turn out at our last Friday LSI seminar with Ardem Patapoutian Patapoutian. Seeing students wanting a Nobel laureate's autograph on their lab coats was sweetly geeky. Thanks to the LSI trainees for helping organize.

There are a few more days to apply to our UBC Biochemistry Astell Award in EDI (for UBC BMB trainees only)

My mom passed a few days ago. There will likely be pieces written about her work, but I wanted to write something that got to the core of who she was. I hope those who knew her see her in it. And those who didn't get a chance to see her. Love to all.

Today is Cristen’s last day in our lab - I am super proud of her work and learnt so much from her !!! Wish her best for her postdoc in the Liangcai Gu lab

Igor-the-man! 🙏 for a great kick start of the day

This was a great wrap up of the 2024 BCPM Network Symposium at SFU. Congrats to Gillian, Mikky and Rupinder Jandu for their poster prizes. Big 🙏 to Bingyun for running the show and all the volunteers who helped on Wednesday

PS zoom in in our (last minute) poster certificates 😉

Today we took the day off to walk Luna around Buntzen lake - light rain and big smiles for a very green winter in BC
