We reviewed the "Molecular Mechanisms of Poxvirus Evolution"
We show that poxviruses have highly adaptable genomes, and are not sluggishly evolving, as often described.

Some surprises here. Matt Pond PA's "The Dark Leaves" is one of my favorite albums. Also great music for running.
The Reds, Pinks and Purples (@glenndonaldson.bsky.social) is perfect music for writing. Helped me with with grant and manuscript writing. I listen to New Model Army during garden work.

(6/6) These data support a model that suggests that E3 (and potentially dsRNA-binding proteins from other viruses), inhibits PKR by preventing functional PKR dimerization, and that dsRNA sequestration does not play a dominant role.

I was excited to see a Southern alligator lizard outside my lab building again yesterday. I last saw it in October and I am happy to see that it put on some weight and growing back its tail.

Saw two interesting cars at Joshua Tree National Park. One was junk, the other one, really old.
