I'm so honored to receive the 2025 Bruce Alberts Award for Excellence in Science Education. Thank you @ascbiology.bsky.social and I look forward to this year's annual ASCB meeting in Philly!
This was a really fun and interesting Molecule of the Month to do! Check out the article to see even more elaborate RNA-only structures.
Interested in molecular animation and in SF for #BPS2026? Stick around for the evening Structural Biology workshop (Rm 204/205/206) and my talk at 8:45pm (New Tools for Visualizing Dynamic Molecular Models) to learn about ProteinBlender! animation-lab.github.io/ProteinBlend...
I am excited to share with you an amazing video on the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway generated by talented Ann Liu from the Janet Iwasa lab @jiwasa.bsky.social @ann-hl.bsky.social. It shows the real structures of the pathway from #NLRP3, #ASC, #caspase-1, #GSDMD, #IL-1b, to #NINJ1. Enjoy!
