I am incredibly excited to share our lab’s recent work at the upcoming Intrinsically Disordered Proteins GRC! Many thanks to the organizers for the invite. We look forward to seeing all of our IDP friends there! #IDPGRC2026
🎉Excited to announce that Dr. Rebecca Berlow @berlowlab.bsky.social
will speak in the “Disorder in Pathogens” session at #IDPGRC2026!
The Berlow lab uses solution NMR and biophysical approaches to uncover how IDP sequence, dynamics & function drive transcriptional regulation.

The damage to science is irreparable. Scientists who are valuable are leaving now. This offered some hope, but now it’s clear reason has completely gone out the window.
A sad day for science.

My dear friends and neighbors have been displaced from their home in Chapel Hill due to flooding from Sunday night’s storm. The number of families displaced by the floods are being hugely underreported and many people in our community need our help. Please help if you can.

A *huge* problem. It also includes search committee positions, review requests, letters of recommendation, P&T reviews (so, so many of these post tenure)—it goes on and on. And the social penalties for women saying no are so dramatically higher than when men say no.
In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Career—Here’s How To Say No
Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

Anyone have a lead on replacement syringes for Malvern VP-ITC instruments? They no longer sell them, and they want me to upgrade to the PEAQ system. Unfortunately, we have a PEAQ-ITC, and it doesn't work with the concentrations needed for nanoparticle experiments. #chemsky #biophysics #ITC

Having a great time at #ASBMB25 in Chicago so far! Always grateful for opportunities to connect with this amazing community and learn about some exciting new science! If you want to learn more about what we have been up to in the lab recently, you will have two(!) chances to do so.
