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 - 🧵

#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.

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!

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. -
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:
So, please meet:
@alyssa - Alyssa is a #Linux hacker who works with #graphics drivers (THANK YOU!) and who is doing amazing things with #GPU stuff on Macs.
@adam42smith is Sebastian Karcher works in #qualitative #data at #Syracuse, and works closely with the @zotero project (also THANK YOU!)
@rachelcoldicutt researches #innovation and alternative #infrastructures, and helps build intentional #communities
@ed is Stefano Maffulli, the current Executive Director of the #OpenSource Initiative - @osi
@DianaOfPortland is Diana Larasen, and she works in #Leadership #Agility
@photocyte is Dr Tim Fallon, who is a #biologist, #biochemist and #genomics and #bioinformatics #postdoc at #UCSD
@bridgetbarrett is an incoming Assistant #Professor at CU Boulder in #Advertising - working in #MediaStudies and #SocialIdentity and #SocialMedia
Please share your own #ConnectionList - and help us create a strong and connected #Fediverse :fediverse: ❤️

#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.
