#Introduction

Hi! I am an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Barnard College in New York City. My lab studies actin and microtubule binding proteins. We are interested in how these proteins work in the auditory system and how we can inhibit them with small molecules. #cytoskeleton #actin #microtubules

I teach biochemistry, spectroscopy, and gen chem-related courses.

Hi world, hope to meet some friends interested in discussing #epigenetics and #chromosome biology over here!
I'd love to quit twitter @giacomo_cavalli and come over here instead...

The leader of the Republican Party and the owner of Twitter have both spent the past week or so nodding to, winking at, or outright promoting QAnon and Pizzagate.

It's hard for me to describe to you how dangerous, how crazy, how unprecedented, this all is.

Humans have learned absolutely nothing in a century.

“I think we’ve moved on too quickly,” Farrar said, noting he fears there’s a “non-zero” risk that Covid will mutate again to a form where it causes more severe disease. “I don’t think we would go back to March 2020…. Five or six billion people have been infected globally, and we’ve all got some degree of protection against severe disease, which is what we care about. But I do think we’re playing with fire with this level of community transmission.”

'Harvard still boasts a fellowship and a professorship named for Alfried Krupp, a Nazi war criminal whose industrial empire used around 100,000 forced laborers.

Harvard is not alone: From NASA to Stanford to the United States Army, American institutions continue to acknowledge — and sometimes even celebrate — high-profile former Nazis.'

@biorxivpreprint or @medrxivpreprint preprints are now systematically part of presentations and discussions of tenure applications in my faculty. Actually if you don't have any preprints you might look not very dynamic at this stage. Early career researchers, don't hesitate to #preprint, it'll only be good for you!

Hello, fediverse! Here's my #Introduction. I'm a freelance #Science #Journalist and #Editor. When I write, it's usually about #Chemistry and #Biochemistry - think #Plastic waste , #DrugDiscovery , #OriginOfLife ; I also cover #DC #Food and #Restaurants. I'm currently secretary of the DC Science Writers Association and volunteer for the National Association of Science Writers, so you'll see event-related toots here as well.

As luck would have it, I interviewed Jeremy Farrar, soon-to-be WHO's new chief scientist, on Sunday. Did he let me in on this news? Nope.
