Over the years, the lab and I have come up with various materials for science process (writing, presenting, reviewing, etc.). Here they are, loosely organized in a Google Doc. Hope it is useful! docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Very excited and proud to see the first manuscript of the Wild Team on bioRxiv. If you have ever wondered how the long heparan sulfate polysaccharide chains on the human cell surface are generated, check out our cryo-EM structure of the EXT1-EXT2 complex: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

My mom hasn’t taken a biology class since high school, but she apparently spent hours reading my most recent manuscript. She called me this morning with 2 pages of notes and dozens of questions. I feel so incredibly loved & lucky to have such a supportive and enthusiastic family. – at Portland, OR
