Congratulations to Storm for defending her PhD thesis! Ngā mihi nui (thank you) @manucaddie for starting this project---inspiring research with Hikurangi Bioactives. From @WellingtonUni @VicUniWgtn to @Columbia --best wishes Storm on your postdoc with @RebeccaHaeusler.

Sweet collaboration of healers & scientists @Seeseei1 @djjgresham @Pdorrestein1 @GNPS_UCSD @darachm among others.

Absolutely loved chasing this fungus around the Americas for my PhD. Parasite to some, delicacy to others. Collected from teosinte in Mexico, that was cool, but maize domestication wiped out the pre-domestication fungal population history.

Congrats HY, Nieng and others on your very nice paper. And thank you for alluding to our @jlipidres paper showing the connections between NPC1 and COVID-19 jlr.org/content/early/2020/0…
Our #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 paper is published @jlipidres. Antiviral activity & lipid dysregulation in rare disease identifies new treatments.

Yes so much to learn from rare diseases particularly the lysosomal storage diseases. eg very good insight from Niemann-Pick type C disease. Image here from our preprint

My kid had a #StrangerThings lockdown birthday. Happy birthday to all the kids around the world who had birthdays in #COVID19 isolation.
First of many zoom lab meetings. We missed a few people due to their jobs being essential. Not sure what chatting was going on during the meeting (zoom in to the orange).
Great point Ethan. This commonality likely means a lot for mechanism. We just published a preprint that expands on this---too much to learn from rare diseases like NPC disease. osf.io/92f3s/
When you have time to cook a present from a student that finished her MSc thesis in my lab in 2017. Her thesis results were published @jbiolchem & downloaded 3200 times. That’s about the number of tasty bites of this leg of lamb. Thank you Natalie.
