Cool talk by #ArpieBakhshian (#Padilla-Benavides lab, #WesleyanUniversity) @ the #AsilomarChromatin meeting on importance of copper in skeletal muscle differentiation (neat Cu-binding assay on western id's #CSRP2, Cysteine & Glycine Rich Protein 2) & showing sex difference in muscle regeneration.

Great #film weekend at #WesleyanUniversity with directors Charles Burnett and Shaka King joining us as part of “Black Voices and Visionaries in Cinema.”

My dad, Stephen David Matthews, took this headstone photo ca. 1950 at Old Rock Landing Cemetery in Haddam, CT. He and my grandparents had just moved from Chicago after my grandfather accepted an offer to be Treasurer at #WesleyanUniversity, his alma mater.

Wesleyan 2025 commencement was moving and beautiful and a bit chilly - and I got the lovely Binswanger award for Excellence in Teaching.

The best part was clapping and congratulating our incredible students. ❤️👏🏻

President of my (first) alma mater making a strong case for US colleges/universities showing a bit more backbone.

Interesting details, too, on his efforts to broaden dialogue.

Bravo, President Roth.

Another semester just ended, and it was filled with wonderful Italian events.

Thanks especially to our indefatigable Teaching Assistant Stefania Civello, who created such a vibrant community.

Thanks all and see you in the fall!

A consequential presidential election and unrest in the Middle East have created a tense climate on college campuses around the country. It’s time to lean into difficult conversations and learn to talk across difference. Read more about it in the latest issue of #WesleyanUniversity Magazine.
