Mothers in Science
The aim of this book is to illustrate, graphically, that it is perfectly possible to combine a successful and fulfilling career in research science with motherhood, and that there are no rules about how to do this. On each page you will find a timeline showing on one side, the career path of a research group leader in academic science, and on the other side, important events in her family life. Each contributor has also provided a brief text about their research and about how they have combined their career and family commitments. This project was funded by a Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society 1 Foreword It is well known that women are under-represented in careers in These rules are part of a much wider mythology among scientists of science. In academia, considerable attention has been focused on the both genders at the PhD and post-doctoral stages in their careers. paucity of women at lecturer level, and the even more lamentable The myths bubble up from the combination of two aspects of the state of affairs at more senior levels. The academic career path has academic science environment. First, a quick look at the numbers a long apprenticeship. Typically there is an undergraduate degree, immediately shows that there are far fewer lectureship positions followed by a PhD, then some post-doctoral research contracts and than qualified candidates to fill them. Second, the mentors of early research fellowships, and then finally a more stable lectureship or career researchers are academic scientists who have successfully permanent research leader position, with promotion on up the made the transition to lectureships and beyond. -

©Copyright 2015 Samuel Tabor Marionni Native Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry: Characterizing Biological Assemblies and Modeling their Structures Samuel Tabor Marionni A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Matthew F. Bush, Chair Robert E. Synovec Dustin J. Maly James E. Bruce Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Chemistry University of Washington Abstract Native Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry: Characterizing Biological Assemblies and Modeling their Structures Samuel Tabor Marionni Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor Matthew F. Bush Department of Chemistry Native mass spectrometry (MS) is an increasingly important structural biology technique for characterizing protein complexes. Conventional structural techniques such as X-ray crys- tallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can produce very high- resolution structures, however large quantities of protein are needed, heterogeneity com- plicates structural elucidation, and higher-order complexes of biomolecules are difficult to characterize with these techniques. Native MS is rapid and requires very small amounts of sample. Though the data is not as high-resolution, information about stoichiometry, subunit topology, and ligand-binding, is readily obtained, making native MS very complementary to these techniques. When coupled with ion mobility, geometric information in the form of a collision cross section (Ω) can be obtained as well. Integrative modeling approaches are emerging that integrate gas-phase techniques — such as native MS, ion mobility, chemical cross-linking, and other forms of protein MS — with conventional solution-phase techniques and computational modeling. While conducting the research discussed in this dissertation, I used native MS to investigate two biological systems: a mammalian circadian clock protein complex and a series of engineered fusion proteins. -
