go check out this special issue of FEBS Letters, edited by the great @partchlab.bsky.social!
I'm very happy that @hollykay1.bsky.social and I could contribute to it, with a perspective on timing systems (not just circadian clocks!) in bacteria at large:

With cover artwork by the labs own Sharleen Buel!
It was a pleasure contributing to this special
Issue. Our cover artwork represents how the core of time keeping is intertwined with protein disorder, art is credit to the talented Sharleen Buel!
🔔 Our latest special issue, guest edited by Prof. Carrie Partch, is now live! Featuring:
⏰ The latest advances in our understanding of the molecular basis of circadian rhythms
⏱️ Circadian rhythms' pervasive and powerful control of biology
⌚ And — new frontiers in the field.

IDPSeminars is back TOMORROW! Come see @tanjamittag.bsky.social and @xsalvatella1.bsky.social ! Not to be missed!!
Happy #WomenInScienceDay 👩🔬🥼
Remember to support women in STEM today & every day!
I am SO incredibly excited to announce the launch of a global list of Inspiring Black Scientists. You can use this list to nominate and connect with researchers. Please share and join us in highlighting these outstanding scientists for #BlackHistoryMonth and beyond!

Please check out our new review on the disorderly🍝 side of molecular circadian timing⏰.
It was so fun to write the review with @idpemery.bsky.social !
Seminar titles: Andrea Soranno (Single molecule spectroscopy of disordered regions and nucleic acids) and Bokai Zhu (Nuclear speckle rejuvenation to ameliorate proteinopathy).
IDPSeminars is BACK THIS WEEK!

A photo of the same black cat, except she is now rolling happily on a rug near a white door.
Hello friends. Today I want to tell you a story.
It sounds small, I know, amidst all this. But small things matter, and I'd appreciate your consideration.
This is a story of a cat. Specifically, this cat.
On the left is the first photo I ever took of her. On the right is a recent photo.
