And… I am SO excited to share the first research preprint from my group! In this paper we determined several cryoEM structures to visualize the entire cell-to-cell bridging complex formed by TAM receptor and ligand, bringing into 3D a common graphical depiction. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Influenza A virus must cross the mucus layer to infect us. Our new preprint combines theory, simulations, and experiments to show how the virus can hijack this barrier to power its motion and follow receptor gradients—without an internal motor or signaling network. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

It felt like 111°F in SoCal today. Tonight, we'll keep the lights on with a virtual power plant (DSGS) Newsom tried to kill. Meanwhile, kids are sitting in sweltering classrooms because he raided the fund for school AC (CalSHAPE). This is not climate leadership. electricnotes.news/p/california...
