“We are going to kill ourselves because of stupidity”

The 'warm' #COVID19 vaccine being developed by IISc & Mynvax triggers strong immune response & neutralising antibodies in animal models against 4 current Variants of Concern (Alpha, Beta, Gamma & Delta), shows new study with CSIR-IMTech CSIRO & others iisc.ac.in/fighting-covid…

Professor N. Srinivasan IISc Bangalore passed away today after an illness through which he was his usual self, concerned about others. His science contributions were wide and deep. He will be missed. A screenshot of an announcement of March 2020 that captures his work and ideas:

Most heartbreaking is the insanely high insensitivity of the admin. Giving such statements bring no change. The problem is in the system, in the workload, in the non-existent leisure time. The mental health facilities we have are nowhere close to what the administration claims.

We combined #AlphaFold and #cryoEM to build a new model of the nuclear pore complex, the largest complex in the human cell! The structure covered by the model is 15x bigger than the human ribosome and 2x bigger than old nuclear pore models. 1/7 Read how: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finding new levels of despair in academia😩 #AcademicTwitter

For students looking for a PhD position in a fast-paced and cutting-edge environement, IMCBio Graduate School's Phd call is open ! This is a great opportunity to come and work with us, at IGBMC (INRT). 👩‍🔬 You can read more about the different projects available here : bit.ly/3zHajiU

Commendable stuff by academicians at BAMU, Aurangabad: brought together n digitized the writings by and on Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar (in English, Hindi and Marathi) for access by all. Hopefully writings in other languages will be added soon. Power to them! bamu.ac.in/krc/e-Resource…

Thank you for everything Roger Federer

Our students share their experience in the Biophysics PhD program UW–Madison in a series of videos (thank you KathASK Films). Applications are open, deadline December 1, visit us at biophysics.wisc.edu 1/6 Promo video #biophysics

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/

Um, we’re gonna need more of these!

WOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK AT THEM? These centrifuge tube holding bulbasaurs are the best! 🥰💚

Rather than a denied grant, it is far more frustrating when the funding agency delays the release the funds of ongoing grants, and the project staff go unpaid for months. Why are we so insensitive to the basic need, and right, of those employed on scientific projects?

Excited to share the publication of the study on the ratGAT architecture that I was involved in Aravind Penmatsa and am happy to have contributed to this exciting project. Congratulations to Smruti Ranjan Nayak , Deepthi , @AthreyaArunabh and all other co-authors of the papers

Great outreach work from our UW-Madison Biophysical Society chapter, with fun and interesting science experiments for the public. Special mentions for Michael O'Connor, Archishman Dakua and the Romero lab. Nice write-up Meg T (she/her/hers)!

Delighted to be a part of this collaborative project during my time at the Aravind Penmatsa IISc Bangalore led by Prof. Subba Rao and team. Congratulations to everyone involved in the project
