🚨 BREAKING: The US House has OVERWHELMINGLY voted to CODIFY President Trump's FRAUD DIVISION within the DOJ, 352-72 This is a HUGE win 🔥 The Fraud Division will soon have FULL STATUTORY AUTHORITY to investigate and prosecute fraud against: • Federal government programs • Federally funded benefits • Taxpayer dollars more broadly It now heads to the US Senate Absolutely MINDBOGGLING that ANYBODY could vote against this. But it's just Democrats being Democrats, I guess.

Look at part of an email thread in which officials are debating content and phrasing of an assessment regarding China’s info operations during the 2020 election. They straight up strike a sentence about China seeking to topple Trump and write that China doesn’t have a preference

Most recent paper out now at science advances. We investigated a BASEL phage belonging to the felixounavirus genus and discovered evolutionary relationships with distantly related phages. Collaborative work between @HiCryoEM and @mihnea_bostina science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Excited to see our work published in @ScienceAdvances! We present RBPseg, a method for structural prediction of #phage receptor-binding proteins. We applied it to diverse tail fibers and validated the predicted structures using #cryoEM. Read here: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

RBPseg: Toward a complete phage tail fiber structure atlas

RBPseg enables accurate modeling of tail fiber structure, providing the first comprehensive tail fiber structure atlas.

Very stoked to finally have my first co-first author manuscript published with PNAS nexus. We describe the phiM1 virion structure with a focus on the ejectosome, showing considerable structural variance relative to phage t7. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/a…

Ejectosome of Pectobacterium bacteriophage ΦM1

Abstract. Podophages that infect gram-negative bacteria, such as Pectobacterium pathogen ΦM1, encode tail assemblies too short to extend across the complex

Late post: Had the absolute mega opportunity to attend the 2024 FASEB conference on Virus Structure and Assembly. I presented our upcoming publication, and was fortunate to be awarded travel scholarship funding in the closing ceremonies. Big thanks to the FASEB organizers :)

Excited to have created my first GitHub repository today. My script generates a spectrum of capsid vertex coordinates in @UCSFChimeraX , and prints their coordinates for use in asymmetric reconstruction workflows. I2 symmetry is currently required. github.com/JimHBean/capsid_v…
