Missouri residents can now comment on this absurd proposal. Say no to censorship in Missouri libraries! #noMOrule molib.org/advocacy/
The proposed rule would require Missouri’s 160 local public libraries to adopt policies on the age-appropriateness of literature. And under the rule, anyone could challenge access to books. stltoday.com/news/local/govt…

I'm excited to release a project that I've been working on for some two years now... announcing WIGGLE 🌟 Wiggle is a @UCSFChimeraX plugin to visualise and explore #cryoDRGN and @cryosparc 3D variability results. #MolecularMovies #cryoEM #StructuralDynamics.

Want to try #cryoDRGN, but unsure how to get started? @LaurelKinman, @barrettmpowell, @ZhongingAlong, and @lab_berger provide step-by-step guidance (and new features) in a new protocol pre-print biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Had a great time with my co-workers at my first in-person conference in 3 years! 😊
Over half of the Center’s staff travelled to Oregon for #MM2022Portland for a great week of education, networking, and scientific exploration on all things #microscopy!🔬We also enjoyed Portland’s food scene! 🍩 Thank you organizers for a fantastic meeting!

Being extra kind to myself today 🤍 Time certainly does not heal all wounds. PLEASE stay off your phone while driving your 2+ ton vehicle. #JustDrive #DistractedDrivingKills #TraumaversariesAreHard – at St Louis, MO
Today marks one year since I was cut out of a wrecked car, broken but alive. My mind and body haven't been the same since, and I think I finally accepted that they never will be. I'm still here, and that's all that matters.

May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth Break the stigma and break the silence. It’s okay not to be okay. You are not alone. Spread kindness and make sure to try and give some of that kindness to yourselves as well
