We're featuring Dr. Chantell Evans Chantell Evans, a Postdoctoral Fellow in Erika Holzbaur-Howland's lab Penn Penn Medicine News for #SeeingDiversity this month!

That concludes all the amazing Science as Art (SasA) entries! Thank you to all the participants! Full descriptions of the artwork can be found at: uofuhealth.utah.edu/immunology-inf… #3iSciArtContest #3iSymposium2021

Happy birthday to Santiago Ramón y Cajal the "father of modern #neuroscience."

The Animation Lab is looking for new postdocs! I'm so incredibly fortunate to mentor such a talented crew of animator-Ph.D.s (examples of work from Ann (Hui Liu) Shraddha Nayak & Margot Riggi below). Come join our team! Info on our lab and how to apply here: animationlab.utah.edu/join

Every year I have students ask if the environment will be ok. Every year I say "I hope so." Two years ago, I broke. HALF OF EARTH is virtually unprotected. A disaster or triumph in the making. So I'm doing something about it. 🧵⬇️ #HalfofEarth science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

They say an image is worth a 1000 words. What about an animation? Ann (Hui Liu), from Janet Iwasa's Animation lab, created a very cool movie that highlights how we think the neuronal gene Arc mediates a novel form of intercellular communication in the brain. #ArcgoesViral

Animation Lab postdoc Shraddha Shraddha Nayak is very excited to release "The Journey of a Metabolite," a lesson on metabolic flux for undergrads: biochem.web.utah.edu/iwasa/metaboli… The gif below shows a glimpse of carbon flux through glycolysis (click the link to see the rest and much more!)

We've finished part II of the SARS-CoV-2 lifecycle, showing early translational events (by Margot Riggi) and transcription within double-membraned vesicles (by Ann (Hui Liu)). A short (very truncated!) preview below; check out the full version at animationlab.utah.edu/cova

We're excited to feature Dr. Bil Clemons Clemons Lab Caltech for #SeeingDiversity! Dr. Clemons is a structural biologist, Prof of Biochem @Caltech in Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering & University of Utah alum! Ann (Hui Liu) worked w him to create this illustration depicting the GET pathway for membrane protein targeting.

For #SeeingDiversity, meet @stevenssostre, a UW-Madison NTP PhD student with Gail Robertson! The image by Margot Riggi shows how intracellular domain interactions induces slow deactivation, a critical biophysical & physiological property mediating the hERG cardiac repolarizing current IKr.
