George was a great guy. I vividly remember meeting him at a mixer at the IUCr meeting in Seattle in '97 when I was a grad student. We had an hour long conversation about SHELX and crystallography and other things over beers. Both a deep thinker and down to earth guy. He leaves a big impact.

Fun fact about George Sheldrick: he wrote a paper on his SHELX software (that everyone uses for small molecule crystallography) in Acta Cryst A which caused the journal to go from Impact Factor 2 to an IF = 50. Spawned discussion on the relevance of IFs. Huge impact.

One of the joys of mentoring is getting a glimpse into your students “outside the lab” life. Got to see the amazing #LNYF25 performance including our amazing undergrad researcher Cynthia Zhi!

You know how the emails pile up over the holidays, and when you clean your inbox out by quick screen/delete, you hope you didn't get rid of something important? Just found out we @jablab3.bsky.social had a big paper accepted a week ago because the notice got deleted. Happy discoveries!

Interesting riff on science inspired by a story about Chappell Roan. I like it. Equally good food for those: 1) quietly struggling to find the motivation to keep going with their science 2) ignorantly raging about the process and taxpayer value of science www.instagram.com/reel/DCjzrMJ...

This is very interesting. And it DOES NOT mean that TREM2 is not a good target. It's a complex target.

This should be mandatory reading for Presidents of Universities and Academic Societies. Also should be printed, framed and hung in their office: "Engage with courage, tenacity, strength and unity. Do NOT obey in advance" #ScienceMatters #NeutralityIsComplicity

Scientists must hold President Trump to account with courage and unity

Despite many seeing the result as a step backwards, the research community should engage with the new administration with courage, tenacity, strength and unity.
