I wrote an article for Science ATL to highlight the achievements of John Cornforth - just one of the many deaf scientist who has made incredible contributions to their field!
Science ATL@ScienceATL12 Sep 2022
In honor of #DeafAwarenessMonth, we're shining the spotlight on an incredible deaf scientist: John Cornforth. Learn how his pivotal research in stereochemistry lead to a Nobel Prize in 1975 and helped pave the way for modern medicine! scienceatl.org/meet-john-cor…

Meet John Cornforth: A Master of Chemical Synthesis - Science ATL

The research of Sir John Cornforth was pivotal in helping us understand the three-dimensional arrangements, or stereochemistry, of atoms.

Hey #Yeast22! Are you coming to the DEI Session at 1:30 pm today? While you hear from @TheTracyLab, @thesilvalab, @jlsteenwyk, @novalesnoelle, and @dan_pollard_lab on improving inclusion in the sciences, you can write down your equity-promoting ideas in a sweet GSA notebook.

A big day for base editing (and Crispr!): The first patient has been dosed with Verve's proposed one-and-done treatment for high cholesterol. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Crispr for the Masses Gets a Little Closer to Reality

The first patient has received Verve Therapeutics’ gene-editing drug, which treats heart disease by permanently lowering cholesterol. The trial will teach the field a lot about using the technology.

Often a major scientific discovery can be boiled down to a #singleplot in a paper. Mullis & Faloona describe "polymerase-catalyzed chain reaction". We did this paper in 1st year journal club @RockefellerUniv and concluded that nobody would ever use this method #PCR PMID: 3431465
