.@c_wecks, Rahn, @gerryhammond et al. @PittTweet report a novel biosensor, PILS-Nir1, that detects phosphatidic acid in live cells, revealing the lipid’s dynamics with improved sensitivity and selectivity over existing probes. hubs.la/Q03HyBZn0 #lipids #phospholipids

Incredible tribute to phospholipids

#proudmentor! Great @FASEBorg #phospholipids meeting in MN with Morgan Ricci picking up best poster and @c_wecks getting a best short talk! This is why I don’t meddle in my trainees’ presentations…

@gerryhammond This meme might be my most important contribution to the lab.

My lab having a fight about this: #lipidtime enthusiasts, did they pick the right PIP2?

For all you #lipidtime enthusiasts looking for a higher sensitivity phosphatidic acid biosensor, @c_wecks ’s new preprint will be Nirvana! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Spotlight @JCellBiol: Weckerly @c_wecks and Hammond @gerryhammond discuss the identification of the first truly sensitive #biosensor for an enigmatic signaling #lipid, PI(3,5)P2 (bit.ly/3CTnOyA), by Vines et al. @jasonkinglab: bit.ly/3sbv2Mc

Super excited that we appear to finally have a legit looking PI(3,5)P2 biosensor for our #phosphoinositide #lipidtime research! Discovered by the @jasonkinglab - a must read yinz! bit.ly/3CTnOyA

Looking for evidence that biomolecular condensates are physiologically relevant? Check out our latest, out today in Cell @CellCellpress , in which we identify WNK kinases as physiological crowding sensors that regulate cell volume via phase separation 1/ cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

@elakdawalla Hydra (with embryos growing on them) under the microscope from my lab!

Hey so I've had a roller coaster couple of weeks please send me your favorite pics of cute invertebrates* *I really mean it, invertebrates, yes it's a challenge, show me your cute spiders and squid and tardigrades and whatnot

@osnapitssuzie Hi stressed, I’m Dad

Do you name your car? 🚗 What's your car's name? 😆 It's so hard to say goodbye to a car when they die! 😭

Watson and Crick finalized their proposal for the DNA double helix in a pub. C.S Lewis and JRR Tolkien compared their literary notes in a pub. I need to go to pubs more.
