  1. Apply to the Michigan Pioneer Fellows program to turbo-charge your postdoctoral experience.

    Open to PhD's with one year or less of experience, the Pioneer Fellows program provides fellows with comprehensive support to launch your research-intensive career.

    The application deadline is August 3rd, and you must have identified a qualified research mentor at the University of Michigan to apply.

    For more about the program: lnkd.in/ehvfdFRX

  2. I am clearly not a fan of the #BetterPoster approach where you basically have a big text box in the middle.

  3. Huge shout out to the staff at Hampton Inn on Green road in Ann Arbor who let us cancel night six of power-outage hotel rooms at the last minute when our power came back only one day later than DTE had predicted.

  4. Are you thinking about applying to graduate school in STEM fields, but worried about the application fee? Some schools have no fee, some have a fee waiver program, and some of these even apply for international students.

    Científico Latino has a list of some schools and their waiver programs

  5. @MCDuncanLab @w8emv @redcrew @yvan

    How To Solve It was an assigned text in a Residential College course called Precise Thought, taught by Mental Health Research Institute Professor Manfred Kochen, that I flunked #alas in 1971. (Learned a lot, though!)

  6. An exciting article out in @biorxivpreprint shows that AMPK inhibits autophagy during glucose starvation in U2OS cells.

    biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    Whether glucose starvation induces or inhibits autophagy is a controversial topic, something my lab discovered when we struggled for almost two years to publish our findings that in yeast glucose starvation actually actively suppresses autophagy ten years ago.

  7. @MCDuncanLab A good editor will step in when the reviewers are taking personal shots, making inappropriate comments etc Sometime it can even undermine a review that makes important points about the work. There's a good case in this episode of the #EMBOPodcast, where then @embojournal editor Karin Dumstrei & I discussed one such case with the authors. embo.org/podcasts/the-band-and

  8. The Cryo-EM Biosciences Initiative program at the University of Michigan is currently seeking candidates who apply cutting-edge #cryoET and #CLEM methods to answer important biological problems.

    I hear we have some neat equipment.

    The pay comes in part from my lab budget and in part from the federal work-study program, which is a type of financial aid here in the US. This is a way for me to reach students that might not otherwise have a chance to do research.

    If you are a faculty member in the US and are not hiring through the work-study program, I highly encourage it.

    I'm hoping there's some of those sunchokes you gave me among all these weeds!
    And also hoping they can stand a lot of competition!

  14. From @MCDuncanLab

    ---
    Here I propose that rather than possessing “good hands,” an innate and unlearnable aptitude for science, such scientists possess expert learning skills that can be effectively mastered. I share a straightforward approach to gaining and teaching expert learning skills in the research lab environment. I also discuss ongoing efforts by others to develop curricula that teach expert learning skills in laboratory courses.

  15. From the annals of Alphafold surfing, I was looking at some yeast-specific genes in preparation for a talk that will feature what you can learn by studying yeast-specific genes.

    Look at this beauty:

    ECM33-somehow involved in glucose uptake, extracellular GPI anchored protein.

  16. @cmdcolin

    I use Alphafold (actually colabfold) and am happy to answer questions, but I'm just a user. There are people with more expertise than me here.

    Hashtags might find the right people

  17. Whoa!!! Big news for trainees and others at UM. The new procurement system allows you to book airline travel without using your own credit card. This means students and others won't incur the cost of booking conference airfare.

  18. @askennard

    In this preprint, we identified a conserved or suspiciously structurally similar interface between a large highly conserved well-folded protein and its fast-evolving co-factors in yeast and humans. Some co-factors are large, but all of them consist primarily of disordered regions.

    biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    We are now using alpha fold to predict protein-protein interactions amongst proteins that are linked to these ones via phenomics.

  19. My mentor Greg Payne, the scientist who works at UCLA, is retiring.

    If you have a message to share with him, you can send them to his campus address or I'm collecting messages to share at a party next week. If you want them included for next week, e-mail me at my UM account.

  21. Nice study from @teresa_omeara & @maom in @biorxivpreprint

    They used protein prediction to explore the poorly annotated Candida auris genome, and then used protein design to replace endogenous proteins with de novo designed ones.

  22. Because it is the start of the month, I'm indexing my notebook and seeing that there is a whole set of really exciting protein multimer predictions that still need to be done.

    Of course, our clusters are down for summer maintenance this week. ugh.

    I'm so tempted to use the browser-based colabfold, but I should just wait for the clusters.

    I'm very impatient.

  23. When submitting a manuscript with alphafold2-based predictions, what all should I provide as supplemental data?

    I'm thinking the rank 1 model PDB and json file, and then for all of the models (5 in my case) the pae.png and plddt.png.

    Would someone want to see more than this or less than this?

  24. @MCDuncanLab @futurebird Thanks a lot for help everyone! I took the #foldscope specs, eliminated a few options ("we got a USB microscope for kids ... but it's not very good", "how about this 200x clip you put on your phone? ... someone had tested it and concluded the magnification is closer to 2x in practice") and then I managed to somehow "search differently" than months ago because I found a new local #microscope shop, and they had a "do contact us if you need any help e.g. to select the first microscope for your child" ("I am a little bit past that age BUT can you still help? I mean of course it is for my ...inner child?").

    They recommended this version as probably sufficient, it has 2x, 4x 'objective pair' and 'switch magification 20- and 40-times' changeable "with the oculars", I have no way to translate it to Foldscope's "3 Lenses (50x, 140x, 340x)" though. Is it 40x by comparison, or 4x40x = 160x?

    This model also has a battery so I could 'scope away in disconnected areas too (in response to me spelling out my crazy field plans), but can be used on the wire as well. I may give it a shot! Whee! Exact species identification field dopamine awaits!

  25. I keep a nice inventory of my pantry (big items like 10lb flour, 5 lb channa) with the date purchased, best bydate, and date used. I just discovered 'someone' skipped 20 lbs of our oldest flour and used 20 lbs of newer flour. So we have 20 lbs of 'expired' flour. The problem is that 'someone' could be me.🤦

    #KitchenFail #AntiWasteCooking

    (Also yes I know best by isn't expired, but this is fancy flour that does kind of get less wonderful)

  26. Periodic reminder: spend some time coming up with a generic figure template that shows sizes of commonly used items, eg, label sizes, expected sizes of bands on gels, micrographs and scale bars, fonts, also handy to include common overall sizes.

    This figure template is based on MBOC guidelines a few years back.

    I've also added the molecular weights of the ladder we commonly use for western blots.

    I use Alphafold (actually colabfold) and am happy to answer questions, but I'm just a user. There are people with more expertise than me here.

    Hashtags might find the right people
