  1. Happy birthday to #biochemist Marie Maynard Daly (1921-2003), 1st Black woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry in the US! She made important research contributions to our understanding of the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & the chemistry of histones & protein synthesis. She established that “no bases other than adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine were present in appreciable amounts” in DNA - 🧵

  2. #OnThisDay Venus_de_Milo, the famous #Greek #Sculpture, was discovered (1820) by a peasant.

    Grace Hopper led development of #COBOL (1959).

    Birth Anniversary of American #Biochemist Melvin Calvin (1911) - most famed for discovering the Calvin cycle along with Andrew Benson and James Bassham, for which he was awarded the 1961 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

  3. Happy birthday to 🇨🇦Canadian medical researcher & #biochemist Maud Menten (1879-1960). Not only was she an author of Michaelis-Menten equation for #enzyme kinetics, she invented the azo-dye coupling for alkaline phosphatase, 1st example of enzyme #histochemistry, still used in imaging of tissues today & she also performed the first #electrophoretic separation of blood haemoglobin in 1944!⁠

  7. Hello! #introductions
    I'm a #ComputationalBiologist (1st #biochemist, then #ComputerScientist). I'm faculty at UConn Health. I'm interested in many scientific areas such as #SystemsBiology, #ComputationalModeling and #Simulation, #IronMetabolism, #NonlinearDynamics, #SoftwareDevelopment. I'm one of the authors of the @copasi simulation software and its predecessor Gepasi (thus my handle). I care about #OpenAccess & #OpenSource. I am also interested in #photography, #Linux, and #EVs.

  8. It's a while since I've written an #Introduction #Introductions #Connections #TwitterMigration post, where I use my large follower count to more richly connect the :fediverse:

  9. #Insights into #gene & #protein #ControlSystems that regulate the use of #nitrogen by #plant #roots could help develop crops that require less nitrogenous fertilizers to produce acceptable yields. Plant #biochemist Soichi Kojima and colleagues at #TohokuUniversity discuss their findings and future plans in an article in the journal #Frontiers in #PlantScience.
