Astera is committing a seed fund of $5M, in addition to compute access through Voltage Park. These resources are distributed across Diffuse Project team and several research groups, including those of James Fraser at University of California, San Francisco (Fraser Lab), Nozomi

Happy Diffuse Project launch day! Check out our latest effort. We're grappling with how to better understand protein dynamics and capture/share the information that would best allow the community to make use of that data. Take a look!

Funded by Astera Institute, a new $5M initiative aims to make diffuse scattering–a signal in X-ray crystallography that reveals protein dynamics–accessible. Cornell participants are chemists Nozomi Ando, Steve Meisburger with experiments at Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source as.cornell.edu/news/philanthr…

I’m excited to share our new nature paper 📝, which provides strong evidence that the walkability of our built environment matters a great deal to our physical activity and health. Details in thread.🧵 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Right now is the best chance the scientific community has ever had to end the artificial scarcity of academic journals. Check out my new op-ed urging NIH Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD to disallow taxpayer dollars towards journal publication fees — something both publishers and scientists

With a new collaboration called diffUSE, the Stephanie Wankowicz (she/her) lab is helping to advance our understanding of protein motion, leading to a new paradigm in dynamic structural biology.
