@KonermannLab A very dynamic talk, as we e come to expect from Lars!

Another great talk by Prof. Lars Konermann at the CFABS Toronto Post-ASMS Symposium! If you're interested in learning more about these serine magic number clusters, you can check them out here😉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

My foray outside the world of honey bees continues. Our new paper is out, comparing proteomes across reproductive stage transitions of ant, honey bee, and bumble bee queens. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

@BruceVerchere Are you kidding me?!? We had SIX! All in one group

Final tally 3050 #DouglasPark #ThrillerHouse #treatcount2024

We correlated nAChRa7 subunit with sucrose responsiveness in clothianidin exposed bees in our newly published work! @lenjf @UBC Proteome of Clothianidin Exposed Honey Bees Reveals a Possible Mechanism Behind Impairment of Sucrose Responsiveness doi.org/10.1111/jen.13…

@YOUtakeURseat @lolajemma @courtneyknill “Criminally” is doing a lot of work here

@lolajemma @courtneyknill When was he criminally convicted of this?

just finished watching Trump’s interview with Joe Rogan. here are my thoughts: -Trump really does have incredible business sense. his negotiating skills with foreign governments are unmatched. -use of tariffs instead of boots on the ground is a wonderful way to beat our enemies

@gorskon None. I have taken any and all vaccines that are relevant for/available to me

OK, I’ll bite. Please answer this: Which vaccine(s) to you consider sufficiently effective and safe that you would take it/them yourself and recommend that others take it/them? I’d you’re “not antivax,” surely there must be at least one such vaccine, right?😏

@IsabellaMDeLuca @ianmiles Organic farming is what is not sustainable

@ianmiles It’s not sustainable

This cost me $175. I don’t care if you think Trump is “mean”

@CIHR_IRSC @NSERC_CRSNG @SSHRC_CRSH Conspicuously absent in this post is the wording “we have learned from past mistakes”. I’m not convinced that we’re going to be happier with this one

Big news for applicants and reviewers! CIHR, @NSERC_CRSNG, and @SSHRC_CRSH will be transitioning away from the CCV to a new narrative-style CV for funding opportunities. science.gc.ca/site/science/e…

Research from the #GsponerLab published in @PNASNews today focuses on the AlphaFold-Multimer platform, a platform recognized with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2024. This new paper evaluates and provides guidance for using the platform to predict binding interactions of intrinsically disordered protein regions.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 D will have their head crushed because the cutout won’t protect them

If E pushes the stone, who experiences the worst outcome

🗞️ Leonard Foster at the @UBC is working to help keep honey bee queens healthy through Canadian winters, in partnership with @uLethbridge and @universitelaval. Learn more ▶️ tinyurl.com/3cb7sjbn #NSERCsupport

@AshleyGWinter Whenever I hear this I can’t help but think of natural selection. Vaccines increase fitness. Possibly more than any other single action an individual could take!

I am getting trolled and harassed on literally every social media platform for having vaccinated my daughter against COVID so I think this is a great time to announce that I have also gotten my COVID booster while pregnant to pass COVID protection to my fetus. Happily.

@mdziemann We typically use ErmineJ but I don’t see that in your comparisons. Wondering how it compares

@CBinVAN She’s a (BC) Liberal. She is most certainly not a liberal

Christy Clark is not a "Liberal". You have to understand BC politics. The NDP are really the "Liberals". The "Liberals" are really the Conservatives, and the Conservatives are really the PPC. No way in hell she'd win a Federal Liberal Leadership. #NeverVoteConservative

@SylnaZhinka @Acyn Jon Stewart KILLED this joke on @TheDailyShow last night!

Duffy: Let’s get back to normalcy. Jessica: Normalcy? Like how big Arnold Palmer was? Are you kidding me? You told me if Joe Biden stood up there and said I saw Palmer in a shower once and boy that guy has it going on down there. What would you have said?

@cdnpoli101 This seems so obvious, yet…

Pro tip. If you’re running for office in BC. Make sure you can spell Columbia right.

@HarrisPeskin No. Men need to better listen to WOMEN’S concerns!!!

@muskokaSE @cavanagh_danny Except that it would be precisely the opposite. If you look at the stats for how Canadians benefit under blue vs red, it is VERY clearly in the Liberals’ favour.

@cavanagh_danny These would be called ppl who understand economics

I don’t understand why Canadians who aren’t ultra-wealthy vote Conservative.

@rob_bristow_CA @Dean_Winnipeg Aren’t Trump and toddler redundant?

@Dean_Winnipeg Sorry, friend, but the last thing BC needs is a party who's leader is a cross between Trump, PP and a toddler.

I’d hate to do this to BC, but you might have to sacrifice yourself to a conservative government to save Canada. After a year of watching the train wreck sure to come hopefully nobody would want the same thing nationally.
