Lipid Research Division Seminar Series April 9, 2026 | 12 p.m. Eastern

I'm excited to host the ASBMB LRD seminar series next Thurs 4/9 at 12pm ET. Please join for talks from @zakbaker.bsky.social (from @pagliarini-lab.bsky.social) and Sara Wong (from Adam Hughes' lab) on the intersection of mitochondria and lipid metabolism!

Our @statnews.com survey of NIH-funded researchers drew nearly 1,000 responses from 45 states (plus DC and Puerto Rico). Here's a short thread on 5 scientists' whose labs and lives have been deeply impacted by federal policies 🧵

So happy to see you get this well-deserved recognition!!

The tortoise wins: How slowing down saved my Ph.D. Graduate student Amy Bounds reflects on how slowing down in the lab not only improved her relationship with work but also made her a more productive scientist.

A grad student in my lab wrote this article sharing her growth in grad school. Amy is fantastic and I am lucky to work with her. www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/...

The value of publishing negative data - News Scientific journals love news-worthy results. Editors want to publish studies with novel data that scientists will eagerly read and cite in their own work. Because of this desire for novelty, studies ...

Giving the gift of negative data 🥰

Since I joined @lsajournal.org I have handled several stellar manuscripts that report null results. These papers do very well and reviewers almost always appreciate them!

Thanks @rockefeller.edu news team for the article!

Me too!

Had a great time at #ascb2025! I learned a lot and connected with fantastic scientists. I appreciate the thoughtful member organizers for great sessions and trainees for sharing your science. Finally, thanks for your service @marymunson4.bsky.social - you’re the best.

@joann-trejo.bsky.social, @marymunson4.bsky.social and I have a commentary in @natcellbio.nature.com on recent attacks on DEI in biomedical research: "If scientific research, especially biomedical research, is meant to serve everyone, then it requires that everyone has an opportunity to participate"

Structural insights into GTP-coupled conformational changes in Mfn1 revealed by time-resolved transition metal ion FRET. Outer mitochondrial membrane fusion is mediated by the mitofusin paralogs Mfn1 and Mfn2. Nucleotide-driven self-assembly and conformational changes are required for regulated membrane fusion activity,...

Genuinely thrilled to share our new story with the world - an amazing collaboration with @profsharona.bsky.social and Bill Zagotta using their innovative FRET technique to study mitofusin conformational changes. Huge credit to Sophie Hurwitz for tackling this project. urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...
