John Purdy

I’ve learned so much this year about life, love, and loss. Yet, I am completely unable to process the grief I feel for my daughters as their dad, my ex, moves to Kansas and out of their childhood. Please send good thoughts and silly pictures of pets.

@the_real_KVD Congratulations

@ImmunobiologyUA Congratulations @GoodrumVirusLab

Dr. Felicia Goodrum named the 2022 Edith Sayre Auslander Emerging Visionary by the University of Arizona’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). Thank you for your significant contributions to diversity, inclusion, equity, and mentoring.

Join @AmerSocVirol DEI Committee on Saturday July 16, 2022, on the Community Terrace 4:30-5:15 PM. We want to learn from you about ways to make ASV more diverse, equitable and inclusive! #ASV2022 #LoveVirology #DEIinVirology #JointheDEIConversation

We continue to learn new things regarding regulation of lipid synthesis following HCMV infection. Cheers to Yuecheng Xi for her ability to sort through massive amounts of lipid data to find exciting conclusions. bioRxiv viewer disq.us/t/3u96klh

A surprising story where most of the PI's hypotheses were incorrect. Amazing work from Lisa Wise (first author) who is not on twitter. bioRxiv viewer disq.us/t/3u57ix5

Since 2020 brought a lot of non-virologists publishing virology, here is something different for 2021: a virologist publishing non-virology. Shear-Mediated Platelet Activation is Accompanied by Unique Alterations of Platelet Lipid Profile bioRxiv viewer disq.us/t/3u2fma8

@DamaniaLab @americanacad Congratulations!

I am so very honored to be elected into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Thanks @americanacad ! Congrats to all newly elected members.

@macroliter @HyserLab @boehninglab @biorxivpreprint @LabWeekes We have worked on UL37x1 but have not specifically looked at it’s role in Ca++ signaling yet. It is an interesting protein that we think has more regulatory roles then have been described.

@macroliter @boehninglab @biorxivpreprint @LabWeekes Also, have you ever done work on UL37x1? There is lots of evidence it is dysregulating calcium signaling.

@JVirology @ASMicrobiology Congratulations to first author Yuecheng Xi on her first paper of grad school.

#JVirology SPOTLIGHT from Purdy lab! Human cytomegalovirus protein UL37x1 is an important viral factor for generating a host lipid environment that supports HCMV replication. bit.ly/2MOkpaV

Day 1:7 photos of my life. I will follow @scienceCC Rules: no people, no explanations, and I will challenge one person. I was challenge by @goodum_viruslab (one of the few people I am willing to do this for, as stated by @scienceCC rules) I challenge @OConnorVirusLab.

Do other junior faculty have to send emails at 11:30PM on Saturday night with their university’s Senior Vice President for Research cc’d because the research office insist on installing software that fails and blocks the usage of essential research equipment?

Closing out 2018 with another amazing Sonoran sunset view from the bench.

Please read our new paper rdcu.be/bb5r0 on characterizing human immune responses to yellow fever virus #YFV in #humanized_mice. Congrats to @fdouam and special thanks to @carlygailz and Alex Shalek! @princetonmolbio @princetonideas @MIT_imes @bwfund

Collaborative science at its best! A great team with Nat Moorman & Jeremy Kamil!! biorxiv.org/content/biorxi…
