AlphaFold can predict protein, DNA, or RNA complexes.. BUT is it easy to determine the reliable interactions?🤔 ➡️ AlphaBridge will identify the most confident interactions, making your analysis easier! 🌐Try it here: alpha-bridge.eu 👀Read more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What began as a cute idea last year is evolving into a project with exciting potential for research, education, and art. Can’t wait to share updates and unexpected discoveries here and in my talk at The Sainsbury Laboratory next Monday! 🌹

Freaky Flowers Volume 3!🌸🧬 Did you know that just a few mutations can transform the Arabidopsis flower into all kinds of forms? 🤯 Here’s a tour of 6 mutants that orchestrate floral development and architecture 🧵

Last few days to apply (applications close Dec 2).

Death of a flower ☠️🌹 Without ventilation, my flowers' petals crumple and abscise, likely due to ethylene buildup in the timelapse box. It is interesting how the flower behavior reflects the plants health and can evoke emotion.

How to write a grant? 1. Write it for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. pnas.org/doi/epub/10.10…
