Great job @BiochemBeth1 presenting her work with 19F NMR this weekend at the @UTorontoCBP conference.

Very interesting talk! Taking water dynamics into consideration when evaluating protein dynamics.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin was a British astronomer and one of the “hidden” women in science–women who contributed significantly to their field without appropriate recognition. One of her most notable discoveries, published as part of her doctoral thesis in 1925, was that stars are mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. Her analysis challenged the accepted belief that star compositions were similar to that of the Earth. While there was initial dissent, her discovery was confirmed in 1929. Throughout her career, Cecilia faced prejudice and bias as a woman in STEM. Although Cecilia studied at Harvard University, her doctorate was awarded through Radcliffe College because Harvard did not grant doctoral degrees to women at that time. She continued to work at Harvard as a ‘technical assistant’ in the astronomy department, where she was underpaid and assigned routine projects. It wasn’t until the Harvard observatory came under new leadership–nearly thirty years later–that her talent was appreciated. In 1956, Cecilia was appointed full professor at Harvard and later chairwoman of the astronomy department, becoming the first woman to lead a Harvard department.

It’s after midnight back in London which means unit 1 of Biochem 4410 is officially over. I had so much fun teaching and creating assignments based on @megatev outline from last year. Here’s to (hopefully) more university teaching in my future! @westernuBiochem

Most importantly…we won foosball

Lots of discussion and great questions coming out of EMBO Ubiquitin!

Go Rachel! Previous @theshawlab PhD student and current @PrunedaLab Postdoc gave a great talk today! Proud of my lab buddy @r_lacoursiere

The first full day at #EMBOubiquitin24 very exciting to see the new techniques and unpublished data coming out of these labs!

Can’t wait to show Biochem 4410 this awesome cake when we review sequencing technology tomorrow! @westernuBiochem

Spectacular example of chemical biology, cryo-EM and dynamics!

New work from @BiochemBeth1 @theshawlab & colleagues "provides a structural rationale for the rapid & efficient ubiquitin turnover by [#Parkinsons-associated] parkin & helps explain the basis for some disease-causing variants" - interesting T415N data pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Excited to announce my first author paper is finally out in PNAS! Thank you to @hw1o9 and @theshawlab members for making this happen pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
