And of course can't go to the Alps without sharing more photos! Doesn't hurt learning about such amazing science in such a beautiful place! ποΈ
A big month for NMR conferences! First the 9th Gateway NMR Conference and the inauguration of the 1st 1.2 in North America at Ohio State π§² Followed by the Computational Aspects of Biomolecular NMR GRC in the Swiss Alps! Thank you to every organizer for bringing this amazing community together! #NMR
Hakone! You can take the bullet train from Tokyo. It is a gorgeous mountain town, lots of good hikes, an amazing medieval tea house and a very cool ropeway with beautiful views of Mt. Fuji. Definitely the highlight of my trip to Tokyo!
Fantastic science this weekend at @iuqcb.bsky.social's Watanabe Symposium. Our grad student @jsrocchio.bsky.social even won the student poster competition! Thanks to @tripletstatesguy.bsky.social, @glycocode.bsky.social and all other speakers for great talks! #IUresearch
I am on a panel at the OASIS conference this Saturday here at IUB! The symposium is LGBTQIA+ focused and I will be speaking on the queer academia panel with other grad students, staff and faculty about our experiences. See the flyer to register! π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈ
QCB has been one of the best parts of my PhD! Happy to talk with anyone about the program and applying :)
Our lab is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to study zinc metallochaperones from the COG0523 superfamily of small GTPases. Apply here: shorturl.at/UmQYM or send application materials to Prof. Giedroc directly at giedroc@iu.edu. Looking for strong biochemists; please share!
Our Diversity and Climate Committee is hosting Polly Arnold for our annual seminar series! Anyone is welcome at any of the events!
If anyone would like my letter, I would be happy to share it. We really need to lean on community this week <3
I contacted my senators and representative to advocate for protecting NIH funding. As an NIH fellow for almost 2 years in a lab that is NIH funded, everything feels devestating. Hoping there will still be a future for research when I graduate. @giedroclab.bsky.social @iuqcb.bsky.social
Already posted both of these on the previous platform, but our new #b800 is finally up and working! Here's photos of me with it on the day it was delivered and the day the old one was taken out! π§² Excited to continue working with Katie in her new role!! #NMR
So proud!! π€π§« Clare can definitely teach me a thing or two about cloning!
Our very talented undergrad, Clare Frawley, presented her first poster today at the Indiana University Undergraduate Research Conference! π π Clare has been working with our grad student @jsrocchio.bsky.social on unnatural amino acid incorporation for live-cell cross linking studies! #IUResearch

As the lab migrates over to #ChemSky, we are debuting our new lab logo designed by our own graduate student @jsrocchio.bsky.social. Happy to be here!
