but the whole point of the apollo program was to work on rocket booster technology for ICBMs.... Did his teacher ever ask what his dad did in the military?

1.) be patient getting started takes time
2.) every time in the 1st 6mo a colleague asks to get coffee do it.
3.) it’s a marathon not a sprint.
4.) you will make mistakes it’s fine
5.) there’s a lot of this we were never trained for.

I know of a lot of high powered magnets in Pittsburgh…. But I didn’t know I could use them to move furniture !!

Pretty cool. With help from some friends modified a 3D printer to make a fraction collector. It cost $200$ instead of 1500$ works perfectly.

NMRSky! Is there any way to indicate multiple peak assignments for a single spin system (I.e., exchange where two peaks for one amide are visible) in a BMRB deposition? @nmr900.bsky.social

Thanks!

Very excited to share new work out today in @natchembio.nature.com on a new approach - FACES - for selectively imaging of phospholipids and other biomolecules at spatial resolutions down to individual membrane leaflets (1/n) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Leaflet-specific phospholipid imaging using genetically encoded proximity sensors - Nature Chemical Biology

An approach combining bioorthogonal chemistry with genetically encoded fluorogen-activating proteins enables subcellular imaging of phospholipids and glycans, as well as the visualization of lipid tra...

In addition the "in-cell" spectra look to clean to truely be in-cell. Now i have never done RNA in-cells but As a Pielak PHD and Gronenborn Postdoc who did in-cell NMR in each lab I can comment that these spectra are very suspect to me.

look at these supernatant controls...they saw leakage in their post and just scrolled down in intensity to try to flatten it out. I have NEVER seen an NMR spectrum without resonances look that much like a flat line and then on top if you look at where the deviations from flat correlate with peaks

Me: Ugh i shouldn't have agreed to review this manuscript it does not match the abstract and is going to be a lot of work when i should be writing a grant...

Also me: oooo invitation to review another manuscript that I know is going to be interesting...✅

*sigh* at least this 2nd one will be easy

this is why I'm glad I don't watch/read the local news... as someone whose lab works a bit on dengue i probably should know its in SD lol

Oh man. And during talks. I had a hype man in the audience for me during my last talk and he left before I got to thank him.
