Brother, Can You Spare a Billion?

Nov 4, 2024 | chicagomag.com | Grace Perry

The City Council found itself in a bona fide tizzy a couple months back: That’s when it learned the city was projecting a $982 million deficit for 2025. By law, the council has to pass a balanced budget by the end of this year. Where is the city going to find that kind of cash? Mayor Brandon Johnson says he remains committed to his progressive vision — not to mention to ensuring his wife’s office gets an $80K glow-up. But when there’s a billion bucks on the line, something’s gotta give.
Italian Beef’s Golden Age

Oct 22, 2024 | chicagomag.com | Amy Cavanaugh |Peter Sagal |Titus Ruscitti |Grace Perry

In Chicago, the answer is everywhere. If you told me Mr. Beef was Chicago’s most popular tourist attraction of 2024, I’d believe you. Having never been to the River North stand (I’m a Johnnie’s or Al’s gal), I decided to join the line of folks who had flown into town and proceeded directly, suitcases in hand, to the restaurant on which the one in The Bear is based.

What Surfing Taught Me About Grief

May 31, 2024 | outsideonline.com | Grace Perry

In his seminal surf memoir Barbarian Days, William Finnegan calls Will Rogers State Beach “not a proper surf spot.” Chris and I assess its conditions from the lip of the parking lot, blissfully oblivious to what, exactly, makes a surf spot “proper” or “improper.” It’s an overcast Monday morning, the wind is low, a typical five degrees cooler than my side of L.A. We are flanked by mountains to the north and the Santa Monica Pier, cloaked in fog, to the south.
The Bear Season 3: Everything We Know

SPOILER ALERT!After being positively showered with Emmys and Golden Globes, FX’s The Bear is back! Will our beloved characters continue to eviscerate one another’s self-esteem? Will Jeremy Allen White’s crystal-blue eyes finally merge with Lake Michigan? Will Ebon Moss-Bachrach make me cry to Taylor Swift again? Will this drama series commit category fraud once more next awards season? We hypothesize.

Parallel phosphoproteomics and metabolomics map the global metabolic tyrosine phosphoproteome

May 14, 2024 | biorxiv.org | Alissandra L. Hillis |Tigist Y. Tamir |Grace Perry |John M. Asara

AbstractTyrosine phosphorylation of metabolic enzymes is an evolutionarily conserved post-translational modification that facilitates rapid and reversible modulation of enzyme activity, localization or function. Despite the high abundance of tyrosine phosphorylation events detected on metabolic enzymes in high-throughput mass spectrometry-based studies, functional characterization of tyrosine phosphorylation sites has been limited to a subset of enzymes.
Cicadapocalypse Now

May 1, 2024 | chicagomag.com | Grace Perry

Illinois is about to be swimming in cicadas, both alive and dead. This May, the Northern Illinois Brood and the Great Southern Brood will emerge from the soil simultaneously, overlapping in central Illinois. That means the Prairie State is about to be blanketed in billions of cicadas. Yes, billions. In addition to the cicadas that show up each year, these two large broods of periodic cicadas — one with a lifespan of 17 years; the other, 13 — emerge simultaneously only once every 221 years or so.
A Guide to Chicago's Biggest Fixer-Upper: The Thompson Center

Feb 21, 2024 | chicagomag.com | Grace Perry

After years of a metaphorical “For Sale” sign hanging out front, a historical preservation debate, and handwringing over responsible ownership, the Thompson Center — or, shall we say, the Loop Googleplex — has a future. Whatever it’ll be called, the new owner has some major renovations to do before its employees report for duty in 2026. In 2022, Google announced plans to buy the Thompson Center for $105 million and use it as a second Chicago HQ to complement its Fulton Market offices.
