"If not for a stroke of luck, I may have never pursued a career in science." —William T. Mills, assistant professor of biology at Mount St. Mary's University ow.ly/Eclu50W8Gfa




In a recent Journal of Biological Chemistry article, researchers investigated the reliance of various flaviviruses on host fatty acid elongases & desaturases, key enzymes in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. ➡️Learn about their findings: ow.ly/gf7I50W8Fir.



"Neurodivergent people problem-solve differently, which offers a valuable perspective in STEM." —Christin Monroe, assistant professor of chemistry at Landmark College bit.ly/3GbymOa #Neurodivergence #NeurodivergentInSTEM
