The VPR recently arranged for some of our outstanding research faculty to meet with members of the Board of Trustees. They shared their passion for research, creating new connections and a deeper understanding of the challenges on both sides of the table.

If like me you've run hundreds of minipreps but never bothered to read up on why they extract plasmid but not chromosomal DNA, a recent tweet by @joel_rosenbaum finally motivated me to look it up. From Biennium and Doly 1979:

Awesome news! Polly Fordyce Polly Fordyce Sarafan ChEM-H is the recipient of the 2023 Eli Lilly Award in Biological Chemistry! Her revolutionary work on high throughput quantitative methods to study proteins and enzymes will be showcased in a special award Symposium #FallACS2023!

Scheming with Claire Fisher two months ago: “omg I have an idea for a Halloween costume”

Watching our boss walk into lab and realizing he matches us? Priceless.

We developed an #OpenHardware optoelectronic device for acquiring multi-channel time-lapse images of bacterial colonies growing in agar plates 1/6

Wondering if anyone had yet migrated over to Mastodon and, if so, which server is the best for STEM folks? I'm not saying I'm leaving Twitter immediately but...

Awesome work, Marty! And I see you are already training the next generation! @jmarbol21

“The disproportionate scientific productivity of elite researchers can be largely explained by their substantial labor advantage rather than inherent differences in talent.”

I'm not going to say I'm as smart or talented as the folks at MIT, Stanford, etc. but the labor/resource differential explains a significant part of their increased productivity. I have trouble getting an ice machine fixed, much less access to world-class core facilities...
