It's been a long time coming but, my postdoc work characterizing thousands of variants in G6PD is now available! Many thanks to @maitreya.bsky.social @dougfowler.bsky.social @afrubin.bsky.social and their labs! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Functional evidence for G6PD variant classification from mutational scanning
G6PD deficiency is the most common enzyme deficiency worldwide, and increases the likelihood of adverse reactions to certain drugs and foods. Identifying people at risk is challenging, since most are ...

I'm also sad and frustrated about all the NIH cuts/cancellations/restrictions, but if you're interested in grassroots science organizations, @brewmor.bsky.social is a great community and has a FREE WEBINAR TOMORROW! Come say hi, I'll be there!

Work with Nick Powell is out on Genetics! Nick used data from the All of Us Research Project to connect G6PD genotypes and phenotypes, and I tested some variant functions in yeast with @maitreya.bsky.social! Power of human+yeast genetics! academic.oup.com/genetics/adv...

I’m considering myself in the “kids 10 and up” category because I need this to fuel my own childlike wonder about the world. One of my favorite science books, can’t wait for the illustrated version!

Excited that our beer proteomics work is up on bioRxiv! A great crew to work with and have fun exploring what’s happening inside yeast while it’s making beer. Also check out the very cool data viewer:
