Back at it after a short break with Maggie Fink Ph.D. doing some science communication through art

Pangolins and proteins. Follow 🌾 for more #sciart by Maggie Fink Ph.D. and yours truly

What do organisms that live in boiling water, forensics, and lightbulbs have in common?

Delighted to see our work at IU South Bend CLAS IU South Bend featured as the Editor’s Choice Article PEDS: Protein Engineering, Design & Selection.

She loved life, never feared death, hated bananas and all forms of bullshit. Can’t believe it’s been one year and quite the year, yet her voice still rings in the halls of Northside.

As of this month I am officially associate professor at IU South Bend and this is how much NESCAFÉ Coffee it took to get tenure.

New stuff from 🌾

Congratulations to David MacMillan, the 2nd #CottrellScholar & 42nd RCSA-supported scientist to be awarded a Nobel Prize! His 2001 Cottrell Scholar project was "Enantioselective organocatalysis: A new and broadly useful strategy for asymmetric synthesis using organic catalysts."

idk, Western media people kinda being a little bit racist right now 😳 (a thread)

Let's be clear, Ukrainians escaping Russian bombs should be welcomed in Europe, not because they are civilized, white or have Netflix and Instagram accounts... but because it is the humane and morally right thing to do. My crosstalk this w/ Mehdi Hasan

New art from 🌾

This seems like the perfect photo for a book announcement! Thrilled to be publishing Maggie Fink Ph.D. and shahir rizk حُر's WHAT COLOR IS NORTH?, a story-driven exploration of how proteins shape our identities, enabling us to think, play, work, speak, and even fall in love. Harvard University Press

Glad to be back in person for another #CottrellScholars meeting

So proud to see protein and RNA art done by myself and Maggie Fink Ph.D. of 🌾 hanging at the BWFUND headquarters. #SciArt

This is a wonderful book by my amazing colleague Kelcey Ervick A true inspiration. Buy it. Read it.

Excited to talk about our upcoming book with Maggie Fink Ph.D. on Thursday evening! Join if you can

it’s been four years. I still hear her laugh in the hallways. Always missed. Always here.

Academics: I am an anti-racist ally of the poor and working-class. Also Academics: If I don’t get a job at an elite R1, I’ll enter industry. To hell with those community colleges and regional schools that disproportionately serve poor folks.
