For #SeeingDiversity , we're featuring Dr. Paul Sauer! This illustration shows phycobilisomes (blue & green) which collect sunlight in cyanobacteria during photosynthesis & adjust their output depending on light conditions. OCP (orange), dissipates excess captured energy.

We're featuring Lauren Goins Casimere for #SeeingDiversity ! The Goins lab Stanford University delves into the intricate world of cellular decision-making. Their focus? Understanding how young blood stem cells, brimming with potential, navigate the path to becoming different cell types.

For #SeeingDiversity , meet Dr. Nayara Fernanda Barros Dos Santos Nayara Santos a postdoc in the Pornillos lab U of Utah Dept of Biochemistry! This figure by Margot Riggi illustrates how some HIV-1 CA mutants may produce capsids that are unstable & fall apart in the cytosol, preventing nuclear import.

For #SeeingDiversity , we're featuring Dr. @farrahnmadison! This illustration by Trish Luu shows 3 songbird species studied by the Madison lab: a Gouldian finch, Zebra finch, & canary. Also pictured are testosterone & corticosterone, two of the lab’s hormones of interest.

For #SeeingDiversity , meet Dr. Chelsey Spriggs Chelsey Spriggs, Ph.D.. Chelsey is an Assistant Professor UMCDB and her lab (@SpriggsLab) studies how viruses with DNA genomes reach the nucleus to cause infection (illustration by Rachel Torrez).

For #SeeingDiversity this month, meet Dr. Krystle J McLaughlin, an Asst Chem Prof Vassar College! This illustration by Margot Riggi highlights Krystle’s working hypothesis of the step-wise assembly of the relaxosome, a multiprotein complex involved in bacterial plasmid conjugation.

#SeeingDiversity is abt. creating/sharing an illustration that depicts the scientific contributions of a molecular/cell biologist/biochemist of color whom members of the animation lab at University of Utah admire. New collaborators welcomed.

#BlackInNeuroResearch Re-highlighting the amazing work of Janet Iwasa and Ann (Hui Liu). As part of their #SeeingDiversity we collaborated to illustrate my science. Here is how damage or aged mitochondria are removed from neurons via a process called mitophagy! #CiteBlackInNeuro

So much fun working with Jerelle A Joseph on this #SeeingDiversity project!!

Thanks for the feature Janet Iwasa and Ann (Hui Liu)! #SeeingDiversity

I would better retweet this with a hashtag, #SeeingDiversity .

So honored to be featured by Dr. Janet Iwasa's #SeeingDiversity initiative! Look at her marvelous illustration of the phycobilisome and how it is regulated by OCP!

BASIL team member Krystle McLaughlin (Dr. Krystle J McLaughlin) was highlighted in the #SeeingDiversity project this month!

Read more about her interests and see the graphic created by Iwasa Lab member Margot Riggi that describes Krystle’s bacterial conjugation biochemistry research👇🏽 🧵

I feel so honored to be featured in Janet Iwasa & Grace Hsu 's #SeeingDiversity project!! Check out their other features and follow their project to learn about other scientists of color!!

Beautiful and amazing work! #SeeingDiversity Chantell Evans

Midweek joy! I am honored to be amplified by Dr. Janet Iwasa’s Animation Lab for #SeeingDiversity . Visit animationlab.utah.edu/seeingdiversity to see other featured scientists including #HannaGrayFellows Dr. Melanie McReynolds & Chantell Evans and the incredible illustrations of their science. #HHMINEWS

It was fun to work with the very driven Melanie Dr. Melanie McReynolds to create this infographic. #flux #SeeingDiversity
