Every so often I rediscover the paper that lists which Protein Structures can be used as letters in the English alphabet:
An image of protein structures, where each structure of a protein is shaped like a letter from the English alphabet. The structures spell out "Trans Rights are human rights". Each letter is also rainbow-colored, going from red->blue in protein sequence.

Hi all! Finally, the PUI Info Session is ON! Please save the date: AUG 16th, 2PM to 5PM PST, via zoom. DM ME if you didn't get an email and you need the zoom link.
Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well. I want to personally apologize for my tardiness in getting everything organized and set for this PUI info session. I had some mental health struggles (thanks, pandemic) and now, on sabbatical, I am in a much better place…but I was very behind! Anyway I am very much here now and my colleagues and I are excited to meet all of you on August 16th, 2021, from roughly 2 PM to 5 PM Pacific Standard time. This event is very much a grassroots, unfunded effort. The plan is to have: ~ Q and A panel from 2 PST to 2:50 PST (recorded for those who cannot make it) ~ PUI application tips for success from 3PST to 3:50 PST (recorded for those who cannot make it) ~ breakout rooms for more specific help on applications and info on PUIs from 4PST to 4:50 PST (NOT recorded for privacy) PLEASE DM @kelly_n_chacon for the zoom link for this event, and I really can’t express how excited we are to meet all of you! Warmly, ~Kelly, Mir, Derek, Kyle and Anna

We are sickened. We are grieving. We are exhausted. We are angry. We are united. Together, as scientists and leaders in our communities, we cannot sit silently. Read ASBMB's statement and call to step up, speak out and intervene: asbmb.org/asbmb-today/opinio….
