On this day in 1888: Selman A Waksman was born. He won 1952 #NobelPrize for his discovery of streptomycin #ThisDayInBiotech
Interesting article about the amazing chemical proteomics research at Scripps Research. Chris Parker highlights the groundbreaking work in the field by e.g. Ben Cravatt and John Yates as well as some of the breakthroughs that his own lab has introduced. https://theanalyticalscientist.com/fields-applications/chemical-proteomics-realizing-therapeutic-potential

As previously mentioned, here's what Einstein had to say about segregation:
"There is a separation of white people and colored people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it."
For the last 20 years of his career, Einstein declined almost all public speaking engagements, except those at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

I’m excited that Margaret Ebert’s postdoctoral work is out in Current Biology! This paper explores the ways mating behaviors differ between females and hermaphrodites. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__authors.elsevier.com_sd_article_S0960-2D9822-2824-2900087-2D3&d=DwMFaQ&c=JeTkUgVztGMmhKYjxsy2rfoWYibK1YmxXez1G3oNStg&r=kGWJErNJo7fN0L1-etpxjVyd5wpAuwGrxU_YWX1OYbA&m=vg0aRq2g8QSFvw41XER_EOdynW_Rl6bIOXu816Td43Vp566oGs9-FLg30F0TfvWG&s=_9yvee-VCP_XX34gqubIBIDwpdEabPDP77bzxfX4X0s&e=
