To anyone interested in our approach to variant analysis in ion channels, tools are now on Github: github.com/esenlab/varian…

Also many thanks to Andres Jara-Oseguera, #neurodobbs and #stinkbug75 for a great panel discussion

Had a great time presenting on the “Spicy Brain” for my #utbrainstorms talk. Catch it here if you missed it: #utneuroscience youtu.be/6RZDHTyvd5Q

Even mild cases of COVID may leave a mark on the brain bit.ly/3i9htVx

@Cladoni @NewtonLab Peptidase, kinase... all enzymes in the end... And not to confuse things further, phosphatase removes the phosphate!

if you ever wonder where the word "kinase" came from @NewtonLab #Fischer100

Whoa! This looks a big breakthrough! Cryo structures of caveolin assemblies. Are these in vitro caveolae? Thoughts from caveolae mavens @LabParton ? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Students, assuming we're all doing online learning again in the fall, what do you want your profs to keep doing/stop doing/start doing? (Faculty tweeps, please RT)

Probability the peak has passed differs between states and metropolitan areas: @laurenmeyers on @CNN this morning

"It would therefore take a heroic effort & very fast #quarantine & isolation to identify, by traditional methods, every person who’s infected, & every person they contact, & everyone they contact.” @meyerslab on the need for distributed disease tracking: statnews.com/2020/04/02/cor…

@UWVirology is OPEN and expanding testing (despite confusion around @nytimes article). We tested for over 900 people on 3/10 with approximately 7% positive.

@MikePuljung Bought a Heka epc 9. The vendor (Boston Industries) had a store in ebay, and the bigger headache was getting the purchase approved since it was refurbished equipment. Almost not worth it considering the red tape I had to go through.

Fish with electric organs can distinguish whether they are near conducting materials (animals) or nonconducting (rock) using hair cell-derived cells expressing KCNA7a. From Harold Zakon. Wow.

Had a wonderful time hosting @carlson_lab at @ut_neuroscience and hear about the amazing signaling events at fertilization. Stay tuned to her lab’s research!

Riveting talk by @carlson_lab at @ut_neuroscience today! I was disappointed by the lack of @arresteddev references, though.

Bar Naked Data (not a typo): I'll be discussing data visualization for lab meeting tomorrow and using this excellent @jbiolchem paper as a guide: jbc.org/content/292/50…

~6 yrs ago, super-res imaging by Xiaowei Zhuang’s lab revealed surprising, regularly-spaced actin rings along neuronal axons. Now, her lab makes progress figuring out what they are for: dynamically-regulated structural platforms for GPCR/CaM/RTK signaling tinyurl.com/y232rdsq
