Please check out our new review on the disorderly🍝 side of molecular circadian timing⏰.

It was so fun to write the review with @idpemery.bsky.social !
Disordered, but rhythmic: Intrinsically disordered protein regions (#IDRs) play a key role in the #circadian clock. 🕙🌀 In a timely (ahem) Review, Emery Usher & Jacqueline Pelham (@pelhamjackie.bsky.social) discuss the role of IDRs in clock proteins.

Hello friends. Today I want to tell you a story.

It sounds small, I know, amidst all this. But small things matter, and I'd appreciate your consideration.

This is a story of a cat. Specifically, this cat.

On the left is the first photo I ever took of her. On the right is a recent photo.
