Fond farewell to visiting student Shradda Vadodaria — it’s been fun having you help build out our chemoproteomics efforts and share tasty British tea and biscuits with us. Best wishes for the rest of your PhD in the Ed Tate lab Imperial College London!

Hello IU Bloomington — looking forward to meeting students and faculty at tomorrow’s Quantitative & Chemical Biology-Indiana University retreat!

Come be our colleague! Cornell chemistry has *three* open-rank positions open to join our faculty! All areas welcome with emphasis on organic/inorganic (broadly defined)! The deadline is October 15th to apply! CornellChemistry Chemjobber academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28182

Just a note, we are also strongly encouraging applications in the area of chemical biology! 🧬

Thanks to Quantitative & Chemical Biology-Indiana University for a great retreat this year! Congratulations to our graduate student katherine for winning best poster! And a very special thanks to Dr. Jeremy Baskin (Jeremy Baskin) and Dr. Karin Musier-Forsyth (Karin Musier-Forsyth) for their fantastic keynote talks!

"Lipids on the move": Thank you to Nature Chemical Biology for highlighting our latest #lipidtime work using #bioorthogonal chemistry to image rapid, inter-organelle lipid transport, by Lin Luan, Dongjun Liang, and Reika Tei in #ACSChemBio! nature.com/articles/s4158… pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thrilled to share our new paper at CELL Cell ! Our work shows how PS is made and how inhibition of PS synthesis promotes LDL uptake, potentially lowering blood cholesterol levels. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jgTE_278y%7…

Need to recruit your protein of interest to the plasma membrane during mitosis? Consider MARS—another powerful cell biology tool developed by the Baskin lab!!

We are thrilled to share a truly exciting discovery by cryo electron tomography: the “hemifusome”- a new cellular organelle complex containing a hemifusion diaphragm! Tavakoli et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Amirrasoul Tavakoli, shiqiong hu and @Becharakachar Tweetorial below (1/8)

Membrane lovers, check out this crazy thing! Apparently cells are full of stable, hemi-fused endosomes. To my knowledge, such structures have never been observed before, definitely not in lipid-only systems. Anyone seen anything like this?!?

Important topic! Very, very important! Mitochondrial membrane lipids in the regulation of bioenergetic flux: Cell Metabolism cell.com/cell-metabolis…

The difference with the biology standard of 2-3 pages (total!) has always been disconcertingly large — sometimes a challenge for chemical biologists applying to different types of departments/programs.
