Really amazing work!
My first-author paper on novel DPP-4 fluorescent probe design is now published in @ChemComm as part of their 60th Anniversary Collection! This was made possible by co-authors Yanan & Sam, my Ph.D. advisor, and everyone in the Petersson lab @PennChemistry

In honor of #InternationalWomensDay2024 we are delighted to share this interview in Nature Communications Physics with @UW_PBIO Professor @ProfSharona. (nature.com/articles/s42005-0…)
I am sad to report that Bill Catterall has died. He was an enormous presence @UW.
It is heart breaking. He just got his PhD from @UW Jackson School.
Hiam Katsman, former @UW student and Seattle native, has been abducted from his home in Kibbutz Holit in Israel by Hamas. Prayers needed.
Congratulations! This is a well deserved recognition. We read the Levental’s papers all the time to gain insight on lipid organization and dynamics.
I’m proud of our postdocs and research scientists. They sacrificed wages and risked their jobs to show faculty what it takes to gain a real voice within our Institutions. @UAW4121 @uwrunited #PostdocPower
So proud of my sister @ProfSharona for US postdocs on strike: how will demands for higher wages be met? nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

I’m am broken hearted to learn of the passing of Rich Gardner. He was a scientist’s scientist and a passionate educator. Rich, I’m really going to miss you. legacy.com/us/obituaries/leg…
Need advice: I am trying to bring a student from Iran to my lab in a VISIT visa. Although she has all the paperwork and bank statements to demonstrate she has required funds, the US embassy in Turkey denied her visa, saying they did not believe she had the funds. How can I help?
Summer is: a grilled black bean patty with a mound of mustard, eaten with a side of ice cream and a cold grapefruit radler.
Taking visitors around Seattle and seeing it through their eyes reminds me of how great it is to live here. Mountains, oceans, lake, trails, greenery… what a privilege it is to have a secure job, health care, housing, etc. so I can enjoy this beautiful place. #gratitude

Thank you, @amcauce for you commitment to expanding education access for all. My science is better, and my life is richer, because of the diverse @UW undergraduates who participate. All 2-yr college grads with GPA >2.7 get automatic admission to UW. That’s a program that matters.
The @UW remains firmly committed to creating opportunity and expanding access to world-class education for students from all backgrounds. This is central to our public mission as the University FOR Washington.
