Seven Chemistry students were awarded #NSF fellowships for their graduate research, showing great promise for future advancements in chemistry. We’ve spotlighted them and their research in this article. Meet the Yale Chemistry NSF Fellows! bit.ly/46QSiRN

Hello RNA World! Ever wonder what's "talking to" your favorite transcript, but were too scared to ask? In our review in @CellReports, @FKHM and I highlight new RNA-focused tools for discovering RNA interactions across organizational scales. Checkit!

Ever wondered why we need respiratory supercomplexes?
New findings from our lab, in collaboration with @LettsScience, show how a specialized supercomplex - the SC-XL - can help mitochondria overcome some respiratory defects & provide cardioprotective benefits.
Studying #Microproteins (i.e. Brawnin) led to this amazing discovery, a testament to the power of small!

@Slavofflab will continue our track record of sporadic-at-best social media engagement at🦋🌈. See you ... occasionally!

Beyond thrilled to present our O-MAP—now *published* @naturemethods (!!!)
O-MAP is a powerful new method for biochemically "dissecting" the subcellular microenvironment around an RNA of interest, using off-the-shelf parts and standard manipulations. 🧵

Check out our News&Views highlighting the work of @Keribackus in @nchembio : a new form of cellular stress and collateral degradation of proteins induced by electrophilic small molecule fragments.

Thrilled to share our new study in @nchembio describing the proteome-wide impacts of electrophile stress in the context of covalent fragments. Big congratulations to first authors Ashley Julio @AshleyJulio4 and Flowreen Shikwana @FShikwana ! 1/5 nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

My first op-ed is out!
Starting my faculty career was challenging in many ways, and one of those is that I had a leadership job that I didn't expect and wasn't (really) prepared for.
Thanks to @insidehighered for the chance to write about this and share some advice!
Career Advice | A Leadership Position We Aren’t Prepared For
Faculty members who run a lab have a research job and a leadership job, but they are often only trained for one of those, @WUSTL's Jen Heemstra writes. bit.ly/3T7fTGb

Dear small protein/microprotein/sORF enthusiasts. I am currently editing the first methods book on microproteins. If you would like to contribute a chapter please get in touch! I would also appreciate if you could share this information in your network.

We’re hiring a tenure-track professor (any level) to teach courses and develop research programs in experimental physical, theoretical, or organic chemistry, starting 8/1/25. Apply by 9/30/24 to be considered for the first round of interviews. apply.interfolio.com/150561

Our lab’s first @chemcomm! We find that amidine-capped cysteine residues can be cleaved by trypsin to improve detection of tough-to-ID cys (e.g. resis found in very long sequences lacking K/R). Congrats to first author @SamioOfori and team! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

If you have a leadership job, then you also have a kindness job.
Yes, there is work to get done and goals to meet. But we also have a responsibility to leverage our authority and decision making capability to uphold human dignity.

How do intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) regulate protein function? Today in @MolecularCell, we show how the IDR of LSD1 acts as a fuzzy molecular switch to tune transcription factor interactions & control leukemia differentiation. (1/6)

Do you:
A) Love chemical biology?
B) Live in Europe or want to visit Germany?
If you answered yes to either, why are you not yet already signed up for this year's EMBO Chemical Biology workshop, taking place Sept 9-12 in Heidelberg?

Very excited to team up with @LupoliLab @nyuniversity @nyuchemistry in organizing the End of Year Chemical Biology Symposium, which will take place 6/6 @WeillCornell!
Plenty short talks and poster presentations available for our NYC Chem Bio community!
