Ran across this in my rotation students notes … I guess I really emphasized it🤔

Sometimes you have to purify proteins late on Friday night and sometimes your coworkers turn it into a pizza and dance party đź«¶

It looks like my proteins are having a meeting in the middle of my grid … a macromolecular assembly if you will

Very important question for #structuralbiology twitter: would u rather 1. Freeze & clip 100 grids (u only get 8 clipping tools & the ethane needs to be condensed) 2. Set up 10, 24-well hanging drop crystal trays (each well has 3 drops & u have to make fresh buffers) – at South Hill, NY
60%Freeze & clip 100 grids
40%25, 24-well crystal trays

This is a love letter to my Pannexin micrographs 🤩 fun fact from @cryomariena, the SNR for this protein is higher because of the phospholipids in the nanodiscs. Who knew!

A joy and a privilege to present my seminal work on Pannexin structures at #bps2023. Sunny San Diego, you were so good to me!

It's hard to know just how much pain a dog feels, but an innovative @cornellvet study is tackling that challenge. Together, Dr. Toshi Kawate & Dr. Jordyn Boesch also hope to identify a new biosensor for delivering pain-relief medications more effectively. vet.cornell.edu/departments-…

After showing my PI nothing but dust and precipitates for a month, I finally understand what he meant by “Jacqueline, crystals look like crystals” #myfirstcrystals
