What if one relied on the environment for 95% of the lipids they need?? I would think impossible, but in this #lipidtime work from my group, we profile the Lyme disease pathogen in an everything everywhere all at once approach! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Prof. Laura Dassama (Stanford Chem) is developing a small-molecule therapy for sickle cell disease that removes BCL11A, restoring fetal hemoglobin without gene editing. Her goal is a simpler, more affordable sickle cell therapy. brnw.ch/21wXP8k

Truly thrilled that @isaacapaddy.bsky.social has been named a Gilliam Fellow!! Isaac is a model trainee and has been a delight to work with. Many congratulations, Isaac! We found out during our weekly individual meeting that he would be a Gilliam Fellow, and I happened to capture the moment 🤗.

Everything feels weird and uncertain, and I can only imagine how trainees feel right now… so are some things mentors can do to support mentees during these challenging times: 🧵
