Very happy to see this work published in @Cell_Metabolism. Huge thanks to @Isotopomer for outstanding mentoring. I greatly appreciate help and support received from the Burgess lab and our collaborators @john_thyfault and @YoungLabVU.
Excited to share our recent work on the surprising effects caused by loss of malonyl-CoA synthesis in liver. Outstanding work by @StanislawDeja and the whole lab. Thank you @Cell_Metabolism, @AmberMuellerPhD and the reviewers that made the paper better! authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Track changes is a common feature in word processing software - but what about gene editing? Researchers @VanderbiltU developed a method to quickly describe how gene editing affects bacteria. It could help them produce cyanobacteria for use in biofuels: news.vanderbilt.edu/2021/12/…

Great advice for PhD students (and postdocs) feeling isolated when locked out of the lab for social distancing. Thank you to @zjayres for this!
