Check out our recent work using time-resolved small angle X-ray scattering to measure microsecond dynamics in the HIV-1 Envelope protein

In other words, we watched some really fast protein wiggles! Check it out ⬇️

Microsecond dynamics control the HIV-1 Envelope conformation
Fast movements in the HIV-1 Envelope protein control access to antibody epitopes with impacts on vaccine design.

Check out my video showing off my new 3D printed models to demonstrate how antibodies bind to viruses! I’m very excited to share with the elementary school students tonight!

3D printed cell model I finished today!

Each piece is printed and hand painted separately.

More models coming soon…

🧪 Happy to share that I will be a co-facilitator for an upcoming outreach event to promote improved interactions between scientists and their local communities.

What type of topics would y’all like to discuss with scientists? Drop it in the comments ⬇️

Currently in a workshop on making a career change and it’s heartbreaking to hear how many women STILL think they cannot make it in academia💔

Let’s work together to change this. Bring others up with you as you rise.

🧪 It’s time to start paying attention. Let’s not repeat the same mistakes from 5 years ago…
It's time to talk about H5N1 flu
This is not the time to panic. However, it may be an excellent time to make sure you are paying attention to news about H5N1 flu.

🧪 The Advanced Photon Source at the Argonne National Laboratory is back online and is 500x brighter 🔆

I personally cannot wait to do more time-resolved studies on protein structural dynamics!
