@isbscience.org's Dr. Mary Brunkow gave a "practice talk" for her Nobel Lecture, and it was riveting! Mapping the Foxp3 locus was an arduous task in the late 90s, and this recognition is a fitting tribute. Thrilled for you, Mary! Your humility and grace are a wonderful example for all of us.

Some really beautiful biochemistry here. Seeing one dalton shifts to pinpoint how an enzyme from a nutrition-therapy-linked microbe works must be gratifying. Basic biochemistry lighting the way on an important problem. Congrats to my buddy Sid (@flash-point.bsky.social‬) and team on this one!
Last month, my co-first author, Dr. Jiye Cheng and I reported the identification of a gut microbial enzyme that impacts satiety-related signaling pathways in undernourished children treated with a microbiota-directed complementary food.
