Got a letter from the Office of Civil Rights at HHS re: the complaints lodged against Jamie Reed, the alleged trans clinic "whistleblower" who disclosed patient health information in violation of privacy regulations.

🎉 I'm thrilled to announce that the Ðonlić Lab has officially opened this month in the BMB department @wusm-bmb.bsky.social at @washumedicine.bsky.social!

The lab will study how condensates shape RNA interactions, therapeutic activity, and disease progression.

And - we're hiring! 👇
Đonlić Lab
Decoding cellular biochemistry from microscopy: chemical tools, RNA biophysics, and machine learning in condensates.

HCN channel integrate electrical signals w/ chemical signals. Was suggested that ligand bdg exhibits non-monotonic co-operatively to cAMP -shows this is untrue. Lipid membranes modulate allostery not intrinsic bdg affinity. Baron Chanda, WUSM St. Louis #MSS2025

What a difference a year can make! The Draganova Lab has moved to WashU Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics! We are super excited for our new home and cheers to many discoveries and papers in 2026! Happy holidays from our lab to yours! @wusm-bmb.bsky.social

Congrats to former lab member Ofer Zimmerman (who has now started his own lab at WUSM) and coauthors for their recent paper describing how different alphaviruses bind different vertebrate MXRA8 receptors! authors.elsevier.com/a/1htVZL7PXm...

Snowy day from WUSM/BJC. Forest Park is hard to see.

That's so cool! I saw Ministry/Front 242 there in 1985 and hung out with them. I was a deejay at WUSM back then.

Happy Trans Day

Fuck you, Reed, you're worst person I ever had the dishonor of being forced to work with. Fuck you, Tiger. And fuck you, WUSM, for failing to protect me.

Disability leave ends on Friday.
Mourning my career and celebrating 5 years out the closet.

Just Fuck It, Keep on trucking 🏳️‍🌈

I think we need to push back, especially on this plane crash DEI blame and come up with something catchy, so I was thinking we live in the WUSM era (White Unqualified Straight Men), but not good at marketing, so just looking to this creative community for a tag line. I am sure one already exists!

The ready to use therapeutic food (RUTF) distributed by USAID that is languishing in warehouses was also developed at Wash U. Wouldn’t it be nice if Missouri elected senators who lifted up our state instead of giving it a black eye. source.washu.edu/2004/08/pean...

Today, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Catherine Royer for a @wusm-bmb.bsky.social departmental seminar. She presented a talk titled, “Sequence determinants of protein conformational landscapes". Thank you for sharing your work with us!

Recall developers REGULARLY lie in pitches to the city:
- HUGE urban heat island bump from exhaust isn't considered
- Beyond Ameren's local generation capacity, not just delivery?
- Hyperscale data centers are speculative, still awaiting genuine application
- WUSM already has data center on Duncan

Fascinating, a news story like this would never get a positive reaction from UK media. And you'll notice the Youtube comments are positive too.

That little strip on the N side of Duncan sucks. Every day I see the empty lot just across from the newest WUSM building, and I guess the Univ. is just sitting on it? Nobody can even park there. Then this just down the road, with Vicia on between. Big old waste.
