Origin of life theory involving RNA–protein hybrid gets new support nature.com/articles/d4158…

Great work, congrats

🧵of the year! A real eye opener - If there’s just one article you read this year, make it this! Philipp Markolin, PhD lays out how social media is so good at manipulating us. It’s not just the algorithms promoting negative narratives, it’s armies of malcontents like these folks

“From the Buddhist perspective, life and death are two phases of a continuum. Life does not begin at birth nor end at death. Everything in the universe—from invisible microbes in the air we breathe to great swirling galaxies—passes through these phases. Our individual lives are

This is a horrible story worth reading. science.org/content/articl…

Good to know, next time I have a long layover at Newark, I now know where to wait!

For many years, the one of the best if not the best book about how science is make and the human side of the people who make it. A must have in any personal library.

Here's our new research in Science Advances by The Milinkovitch-Tzika lab postdoc Rory Cooper & Michel! We reveal that transient sonic hedgehog agonism triggers a permanent scale-to-feather transition on the chicken footpad🔬🐣 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Genetics & Evolution Faculty of Science | UNIGE Université de Genève

1/ Very excited to present cryoSTAR, a novel approach for continuous heterogeneity in SPA cryo-EM. In brief, cryoSTAR leverages the prior knowledge from a user-given atomic model to better find dynamics in the final reconstruction. bytedance.github.io/cryostar/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share the publication of our paper in nature Conformational ensembles of the human intrinsically disordered proteome Work led by Giulio Tesei and Anna Ida🕊. I'll post more later, but for now here is a link: nature.com/articles/s4158… and a short movie about the work

"We are standing on the cusp of a new era of biology, where the integration of multimodal structural datasets with multiscale physics-based simulation will enable the development of visible, virtual cells." cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Ben Engel Biozentrum, University of Basel Sven Klumpe @EM_STP

Looking Forward to what's ahead. Understanding the cell: Future views of structural biology: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Congratulations to the Aggarwal lab.

Happy to share the latest preprint from our Lab. The Cryo-EM structure of AAV-2 Rep68-AAVS1 complex. COngratulations to Rahul and all the team. doi: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Scientists are increasingly turning to AI to tackle problems related to scale and complexity - from synthesizing the evidence base to simulating experiments. Our new essay draws on expert insights and interviews to examine the opportunities, risks and policy implications. →

It's a sad day for many young scientists around the country. NIH just sent termination notices for MARC, GRISE, PREP, IMSD, IRACDA, and BRIGES.
