Last week, #FlatironCCM and #FlatironCCB held a Computational Cryo-EM Workshop that focused on methods for 3D heterogeneity analysis including deep learning and statistical techniques in cryo-EM. #science #biology #math

Scientists have mapped individual sugar molecules on the surface of cells at a resolution once thought to be impossible for light microscopes go.nature.com/4l08Muf

Somewhere along the way, things shift in terms of how PIs are seen by their students go.nature.com/4lMgr0w

Thrilled to share our latest work in ACS Nano! We developed a drug-free strategy to reduce melanosome transfer, a key process in hyperpigmentation and melanoma progression, and to modulate vesicle-based cell communication. Grateful to a fantastic team! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Our new AI model AlphaEarth Foundations is mapping the planet in astonishing detail. 🌏🔍 Scientists will now be able to track the impact of deforestation, monitoring crop health, and more – significantly faster, thanks to our new datasets. 🧵

Online now! Sub-3 Å resolution protein structure determination by single-particle cryo-EM at 100 keV dlvr.it/TMC9Vt

The University of Washington has been named one of the most beautiful college campuses in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure. Can't disagree with them. 🌸📚🗻| travelandleisure.com/attractions/co…

Cryo-electron microscopy is now essential in structural biology—transforming how we determine macromolecular structures at near-atomic resolution. Read more in the virtual Issue: journals.iucr.org/special_issues… Structural Biology

A generative artificial-intelligence tool has designed a synthetic CRISPR system that successfully edits human DNA go.nature.com/3JadkRy

Scientists have created a tool that manufactures working proteins directly on the surfaces of cells go.nature.com/4meNl9U

A new paper describes a rational way to engineer a *SINGLE PROTEIN* in plants to protect them against a wide range of pathogens. The article features some synthetic biology experiments, a bit of computational modeling, and it's about plants. That makes it a winner in my book!

ChimeraX daily builds can predict binding affinity of small molecules using Boltz 2 on your Mac, Windows or Linux computer. rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/data/…

Director at Max Planck - a unique position! The Open Call for Expressions of Interest in Max Planck Directorships is open now and can be submitted by the 31st of October 2025. ➡️mpg.de/directors - Please share the Open Call among potential candidates.

This paper didn’t go viral but it should have. A tiny AI model called HRM just beat Claude 3.5 and Gemini. It doesn’t even use tokens. They said it was just a research preview. But it might be the first real shot at AGI. Here’s what really happened and why OpenAI should be

Gemini 2.5 Deep Think now available for Ultra subscribers! Great at tackling problems that require creativity & planning, it finds the best answer by considering, revising & combining many ideas at once. A faster variation of the model that just achieved IMO gold-level. Enjoy!

🚨 new paper alert 🚨 We present a method for designing protein nanoparticles with two unique faces that can bring together distinct biological targets at controlled distances! This project was led by Dr. Sanela Rankovic is out now in Nature Materials: tinyurl.com/yj8t476d

Before earning her PhD, Carol Greider made her #NobelPrize discovery at age 23. Greider and Elizabeth Blackburn discovered telomerase - an enzyme that creates telomeres, which are protective "caps" at each end of a chromosome. Discover more about Greider: bit.ly/2D5sHpu

I spent 1.5 years at MIT designing a new undergraduate program in Genetic Engineering. One of our theses in designing that program (which I’ll share more about soon; I'm writing a long essay about it) was that undergraduate students could be trained to be excellent genetic

As a child, Hannah Cairo learned math by taking online lessons from Khan Academy. By the time she was 14, she had taught herself the equivalent of an advanced undergraduate math degree. quantamagazine.org/at-17-hannah-c…
