Scientist interested in ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins in host defense to intracellular pathogens; based at National Jewish Health in Denver. Excited about proteomics, Listeria, Francisella and SARS-CoV-2. Views are my own
For half a century, researchers suspected treetops on Earth might glow because of thunderstorms. But the phenomenon, an electric outburst called a corona, has only ever been spotted in the lab--until now. Cool story from @hannah-richter.bsky.social for @science.org
Great piece on prioritizing quality over quantity in scientific publication.
For those of us with labs, this necessarily involves shrinking our group size. After I got tenure I started to downsize my lab and have not regretted it one iota. More time for each student & more time to think & write.
We introduce #ProxiCapture, an affinity-proteomics platform to map degrader-induced interactions in native cell & tissue lysates. We uncover a context-dependent “glueable” proteome and a scalable route to accelerate molecular glue discovery 🤗

I made it too - so delicious!
Using fluorescence live imaging and an in vitro implantation model, we show that human embryo attachment begins with direct cell fusion via syncytin-2–MFSD2A interaction.
With @hansclevers.bsky.social.
Great work by @tnoordzij.bsky.social & @martinacelotti.bsky.social

Helene was so giving to others about her battle, and went through to make it into maybe the top 1% of survivors of pancreatic cancer, before succumbing Dec 19, 2025 all while losing her father to it. She supported @letswinpc.org and the family asks for you to consider supporting them as well.💔
This is a great story about trying to do ordinary pluralist politics under the lawless rule of an administration that exclusively understands politics in the friend-enemy mode.
CO senators try to protect a home state research center which Vought lawlessly seeks to abolish as an enemy institution
“There may be less of a vaccine mismatch than many people initially believed.”
More on this very soon from our group...Go get your vaccine if you haven't already!

I'm incredibly honored to serve as inaugural chair of the Mechanism Discovery Unit of @asm.org! Looking forward to this opportunity to support our microbial sciences community and help it grow.

We recognise that there are many reasons authors might not be able to cover a publication fee. To ensure that it isn't a barrier to publication, we offer a simple way for authors to apply for a fee waiver.

They are still essential heroes in my eyes. Thank you to our healthcare workers!

Excited to share our new publication, out today in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41.... @kanchanj.bsky.social led this fascinating fungal-bacterial interaction project. We are grateful for our wonderful collaborators Brian Peters and David Underhill.
✨ Exciting News ✨I am thrilled to share that I have accepted a position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology (IDM), at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health!
“‘She uncovered the social experience of women in science’ — the lab assistants who never became managers, the geologists poring over data in government offices while their male peers were doing fieldwork, those who despite their advanced degrees didn’t get hired or promoted, or who were sidelined…”
Come be my boss! We’re looking for a passionate and supportive leader for our Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology. Research in MMI spans diverse models and systems of host-pathogen interactions. Come join us in the beautiful Pacific NW!

It is impossible to explain to civilians how it feels to finally, FINALLY, land a clearly within-payline NIH grant score and then have it go unfunded because of all this regime bullshit.
You all have my sympathies. Unfair doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Extra kudos and thanks to all the staff at NIH and NSF and other federal funding agencies for working extra hard in very small windows of opportunity to get grants reviewed and funds released before the attention-addled federal policies change again (on an hourly basis).
The NIH’s 2024 budget of just under $37B generated $95B in economic activity in 2024 alone. 99.4% of new pharmaceuticals approved from 2010-2019 came from NIH-funded research. I’m hard pressed to think of anything that generates as much direct economic benefit as our NIH did before they destroyed it
