Both my graduate and postdoc mentors, who were top of their game, published exclusively in JBC. So did I until about ~2000s. One reason I moved (regretfully) elsewhere is when postdocs in our lab complained that they couldn't get academic jobs unless they had "high impact" pubs.

What does setting up a new lab entail? Get an inside look! 👀 Welcome to the Institute SivaSankari! Learn more about her #research focus here: bit.ly/3qiUw9V

one poster, 8 hands to hang it. #CRC2023 kicks off and everyone is excited to share their scientific discoveries with their peers. Great job Stowers Crossroads for organizing such a wonderful event Stowers Institute. Shriram Halfmann Lab amazing presentation#researchtalks #scievents

Well, that's a wrap! #CRC23

Applications are now open for our #PhD in #Biology program! If you are looking for mentorship, incredible labs, and a collaborative environment then explore our program further. Applications due December 1: bit.ly/3S999V2 #GradStudent #GradSchool #GraduateSchool

A reminder that proteins are highly dynamic molecules.

Great talk by Dr. Siva Sankari, an Assistant Professor Stowers Institute who studies plant peptides that control endosymbiotic bacteria. Thanks SivaSankari for sharing your insights on “Host peptides exploit symbiotic bacteria – significance & applications”. It was exciting!!

Thank you to Graham Walker, MIT Biology Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), for joining us for a fantastic #WednesdayLectureSeries, hosted by SivaSankari Lab! 👏

In two independent Science studies, researchers used time-resolved crystallography at an x-ray free electron laser to capture the process of #DNA repair from picoseconds to microseconds. Learn more ⬇️ 📄: scim.ag/57W 📄: scim.ag/57V

DeepMainmast is a protein structure modeling protocol for cryo-EM that combines the strengths of a deep-learning-based de novo protein main-chain-tracing approach with AlphaFold2-based structure predictions for improved performance. Genki Terashi doi.org/10.1038/s41592…

Want to design genetically encoded inhibitors of your favorite protein? Thrilled to announce our latest work w/ Sebastian, Keating Lab, & Gene-Wei Li Lab, where we leverage massively parallel AlphaFold predictions to discover peptide inhibitors. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/n)

Move over titin... introducing PKZILLA as the largest protein in life that makes one the largest nonpolymeric compounds in biology, the marine polyether toxin prymnesin. Congrats to Tim Fallon, PhD @[email protected] & Vikram Shende and rest of team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Attention #ChiefsKingdom! It's #superbowl week & we have a friendly wager w/ Gladstone Institutes! When the Kansas City Chiefs win we’ll be enjoying #SanFrancisco sourdough bread & Ghiradelli chocolate! 🍞 If San Francisco 49ers take home the #Lombardi we’ll send some #KanasCity BBQ 🏈 Stay tuned & #GoChiefs!

Game on Gladstone Institutes! Excited for a Chiefs win AGAIN!

Hey Gladstone Institutes, our President (A. Sánchez Alvarado) & Scientific Director have a wager for your Pres.! If the @chiefs win the Super Bowl, Deepak Srivastava will have to wear some #Chiefs gear! If the San Francisco 49ers win, they'll sport some #SanFrancisco gear. Remember, winning is in our #DNA!

Assistant Investigator, SivaSankari, joined the Linda Hall Library's #WomenInStem series to explain her lab's plant #biology microbe #research, what brought her to the Institute, and her passion for #diversity in #stem. #WomensHistoryMonth 💻 Watch here: bit.ly/49ONFXc
