#DanceYourPhD and Episode 4 of #HipHopBiochemistry Season 1 - What is the language of proteins? Well some scientists including myself at the University of Washington are studying just that. Now that we understand what the 20 building blocks that make up proteins' alphabet are; we can "write" brand new protein verses that nature hasn't thought of to solve some new and complex problems we have in this day and age. This video is a dance interpretation of my PhD thesis highlighting what goes into designing a "de novo" protein and I am using #Beyonce's "Before I let go" Dance challenge because 1. duh Beyonce is queen but 2. because I nicknamed my pdb deposit 6e5c after her "4BEY" as a source of inspiration during my matriculation. Now that I've graduated and am working on STEM education to increase visibility, representation and inclusion, I just wanted to say thank you. Also this serves as a re-upload of my submission video for the Dance Your PhD Contest hosted by #AAAS: https://www.sciencemag.org/projects/d... . Here is a link to the final chapter in my dissertation and my 1st co-1st author publication: https://www.nature.com/articles/s4159... . Also Look up my other publications here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?...
