My brother Isaias, artist, goldsmith, and incomparable human being, has passed away. The world felt fuller and more luminous with him among us.
I’m glad to hear we are safe. Yes, helmet is a must.
Jonathan Eisen@phylogenomics.bsky.social · 12mo agoI went for a short bike ride yesterday & got in a wreck (massive tree root bump in shade) & got pretty messed up (lots of blood & lost skin & bruises). Anyway, even though I did not land on my head it was close & I am glad I always wear a helmet while biking. PSA: Wear a helmet while biking.

New preprint in the lab combining what we like best: insects, love, chemistry and the olfactory system! 1/8 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
A covalent recognition strategy enables conspecific mate identification
The olfactory system can detect an uncountable number of volatile molecules while retaining the ability to discriminate amongst very similar ones. We identified a unique mechanism employed by insect o...

It’s a busy Saturday morning. Column is packed well, so flow is slow (and separation should be good)
I attended the @accorsi-alice.bsky.social seminar yesterday. She is so well-deserving this award www.transtechsociety.org/index.php?sr...

Practice makes it perfect. @ucdavis.bsky.social picnic day is fast approaching
My students in BIS102 class @ucdavis.bsky.social learned about antibodies and the man with the golden arm. Inspired by James Harrison, they made videos about the importance of blood donation. Here is one by Andrea Vasquez & Shristi Shukla. @ucdavisnews.bsky.social @americanredcross.bsky.social
Congratulations to ALAEQ on its 15th Anniversary! Chemical ecology is an older scientific endeavor in Latin America, and even more so is natural product chemistry. ALAEQ made these fields more attractive to young scholars. @amerchemsociety.bsky.social
I’m getting ready for the @royentsoc.bsky.social Council meeting on Wednesday. I’ll need a mol of the molecule at 4 o’clock because the meeting is at 6 am in Davis.
The @ucdavis.bsky.social’s campus is foggy this morning, but the roads have been immaculate since yesterday morning. The crew did an amazing job cleaning up after the torrential rains.
The Fiat Lux - Karim Abou Najm Memorial at 7:41 am this morning. It is a work in progress for the inauguration on Friday at 4 pm.
