This is beautiful, Jordan. You are missed!
Today there are two symposia at the ACS in honor of Peter Dervan (11AM & 5PM).
Although I can't be there to celebrate, I wanted to share a few reflections on my time in his lab (2009-2012) and the impact he's had on me as a scientist.

A small molecule USP7 activator from the Buhrlage Group! Important information in the SI not to be missed: significant activity differences between enantiomers & an inactive control compound. A very strong data package further enabling studies of USP7 biology.

Friends, I am at a loss of words for how devastating it would be to lose the entire intramural #NIH program. Some of the biggest medical and scientific breakthroughs have come from scientists in the NIH Intramural program. #SaveTheNIH 🧬🧪 🖥️ 🧠

Thank you!!
I have spent many hours over the past two days speaking with reporters from major outlets, linking them to public and not-so-public documents, and connecting them with other folks. I hope there will be lots coming out soon.
Yes thanks! How can we get this into bigger news outlets?

“Systems of white supremacy,” “structural racism,” “anti-blackness,” and similar terms can sometimes feel a bit academic.
But this is what it looks like in practice. It’s a racial backlash meant to frustrate progress toward a more inclusive, multiracial democracy.
Shame on those who remain silent.
