Our school and Centre for Data Science are awesome - friendly, collaborative, impact-focused, clear structure for promotion, happy grad students, botanical gardens next door. Reach out with questions, and share with colleagues
I am hiring at least two PhD students in the next year to study social influences on security and privacy, decentralized computing, and "dangerous speech." Please pass along to the promising students you know. https://cci.charlotte.edu/academics/software-and-information-systems/phd-sis-track
#Introduction I am Puiyin, a learning technologist at the Royal College of Art. I am also doing my #PhD in #TEL at Lancaster University looking at peer learning etc.
I run a community group called #EdTechOutlaws where like minded #EdTech peers meet once a month to discuss topics important to us.
I am also the founder of a webinar series called TEL Researchers at Lancaster where we invite a TEL researcher each month to talk about their research and their journey.
BTW, my cat is my boss! 😸

20 November 1945 | The 1st Nuremberg Trial started. 24 political & military leaders of the German Third Reich were tried. Twelve were sentenced to death.
The purpose of the trial was not just to convict the defendants but also to assemble evidence of Nazi crimes, offer a history lesson to the defeated Germans, and delegitimize the traditional German elite.

#introduction My name is Yana Safonova, I am an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University.
My lab develops computational methods for analyzing adaptive immune responses and repertoires.
Research interests include (but not limited to) immunogenomics, antibody responses to COVID-19, HIV, and flu, comparative immunology, and co-evolution of pathogens and vertebrate immunity.
I am interested in using #NMR to understand biology, so my work varies from #biophysics #kinetics #dynamics #proteinfolding to #structuralbiology
An example of our collaborations, with @ak947 and @lapassmore where we showed that Fip1 dynamics are required for CPF activation. NMR was used to study the conformational dynamics of Fip1 within the 850-kDa CPF complex.

Nov. 20, 1933: A M7.3 earthquake struck offshore Baffin Island, #Canada.
This is the largest known #earthquake along the passive margin (east/north coasts) of #NorthAmerica and the largest (known) earthquake north of the Arctic Circle.

“Maybe it would be better to catch the ’rona & get it over with, now that I’m fully vaccinated?” he remembers speculating. “...& once I’ve had it, won’t I have acquired immunity...?” But Omicron made a mockery of these... assumptions.... Goodnow... got hit by congestive heart failure... & was breathless. His ankles swelled up. Goodnow was lucky. His acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) was on the mild end of the spectrum"

"We probed the B cell repertoire from peripheral blood of mothers with primary and secondary ZIKV infections and established 9 ZIKV-binding B lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL). One of them produced an IgM antibody, DH1017.IgM, in its native pentameric conformation. DH1017.IgM was somatically mutated, did not cross-react with other flaviviruses, displayed ultrapotent ZIKV neutralization that depended on its isotype and protected mice from viremia more efficiently than the respective IgG upon lethal ZIKV challenge."
