Jason wins talk prize
Jason gave a talk on his NuRD complex work at the recent "Proteomics and beyond" symposium hosted by APAF at Macquarie University and, in his first conference oral presentation, impressed the judges enough to be awarded the prize for best talk. Sterling effort Jason - and of course you know that all prize monies go into the lab kitty, right...?
New lab baby!
Thilo and Vanessa, living in Basel, have just become the proud parents of baby Quinn (hopefully not named after the slightly dodgy detective in Dexter). Congratulations to both of them! I'm trying to think how many that is now. If we don't count Kate and Richard Grant because they had their two girls already when they arrived, and we only count babies for who *both* parents were in the lab... - it might only be the fourth after Daniel and Belinda's two contributions and Roland and Liza's...
Mitchell hits the big time in Berkeley
Mitchell O'Connell, who completed his PhD with Joel in 2013 has had a taste of success in the US with a first-author paper in Nature on work that he spearheaded in his postdoctoral position with Prof Jennifer Doudna in the Dept of Molecular and Cell Biology at Berkeley Science Minister's Prize. The paper follows an idea that Mitch had to adapt the Crispr/Cas9 system - the recently described protein family that has hit headlines as a programmable DNA-binding protein system for genome engineering - for the addressable recognition of RNA.
Have been off X for months but had to log in to see response to AF3. I am much less smart than the authors - but am I (and Erin) the only ones to think that the helical afros that it makes out of IDRs is totally weird? Am I missing something?
Amazing story from the lab down the corridor - @RezwanSidd working with Sandro Ataide and Ruth Hall in @SydneySOLES at @Sydney_Science - now they will be thrown into the gladiators' pit I suspect with the other protagonists that prowl this landscape! 🙂 Great piece of work!
