Hypermutable hotspot enables the rapid evolution of self/non-self recognition genes in Dictyostelium
Cells require highly polymorphic receptors to perform accurate self/non-self recognition. In the amoeba Dicytostelium discoideum, polymorphic TgrB1 & TgrC1 proteins are used to bind sister cells and e...

I’ve been seething and grieving since yesterday’s Friday Night Massacre of NIH overheads, a seeming bit of bureaucratic trivial that will in fact destroy the US university system if unchecked. But I want to get away from budgets and rate breakdowns and F&A percentages for a moment.
Humor me?

Congratulations @memerman.bsky.social! - former trainee whose life was transformed by your mentorship 🙋♀️
Congrats to @memerman.bsky.social for winning the @fredhutch.bsky.social faculty conclave award for education, training, and mentorship. I cannot think of someone more deserving for three decades of transforming lives of trainees (and naive junior colleagues)!

I had a fantastic visit to the University of Utah Human Genetics Department this week full of fantastic scientific conversations
This was a trainee-invited seminar (the best!) so special thanks to the postdocs in the department for the invite

Hello Bluesky, I'm Molly.
I'm a scientist interest in understanding how viruses infect cells, how cells fight back against infection and all the ways viruses evade host defenses.
My lab is also here @ohainlelab.bsky.social.
More to come from both myself and the lab so watch this space!
