@stanford-chemh.bsky.socialReposted by @jeremybaskin.bsky.socialToday we're live from #CRB60, a symposium honoring our director Carolyn Bertozzi's legacy and impact on chemical biology. Speakers include Bertozzi lab alumni now leading their own research. @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social
@jeremybaskin.bsky.socialSuch exciting news for the optogenetics community — congratulations to the laureates for their breakthroughs that allow for light-mediated control of cellular behavior!!
@jeremybaskin.bsky.social💯!
@dirktrauner.bsky.socialReposted by @jeremybaskin.bsky.socialI am thrilled about the Nobel Prize for Optogenetics! And I’m happy that the Nobel committee correctly portrayed the role Chemistry played in the development of this field: www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2026...

@nobelprize.orgReposted by @jeremybaskin.bsky.socialBREAKING NEWS The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”
@shenvi.bsky.socialReposted by @jeremybaskin.bsky.socialA few folks have asked how I make molecular animations from ChemDraw. Sadly, the answer has been “the old-fashioned way,” frame by frame. This was too slow.
So I worked with Claude Science to create a webpage that animates your ChemDraws. Give it a try:

@fromme-lab.bsky.socialReposted by @jeremybaskin.bsky.socialHuge kudos to JCB. Not only was the review process super constructive, they enthusiastically embraced the underutilized #GolgiTime hashtag 😀
@sbarolo.bsky.socialReposted by @jeremybaskin.bsky.social🧵 Short thread: I give a seminar to 1st-year biomed PhD students in my program about how to critically read a paper, how to extract VAST amounts of information from the title, and why reading AI summaries instead of struggling with papers is *particularly* bad for trainees. 🧪
@merz.bsky.socialReposted by @jeremybaskin.bsky.socialGood old Coomassie Brilliant Blue G250 can be used as a fluorescent gel stain. And done right, it performs as well as Sypro Ruby, if you have access to an infrared scanner like the LiCor Odyssey.
