Happy to share our new work on the U11 snRNP, the key building block of the human minor spliceosome complex. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #cryoem #spliceosome #RNP #splicing #mRNA European Research Council (ERC) EMBL

U5 snRNP is one of the key building blocks of the spliceosome, but how it is assembled and recycled remains unknown. Check out our latest paper to find out more about this process: nature.com/articles/s4159… #RNP #splicing #cryoEM EMBL Grenoble European Research Council (ERC)

Disney is trying to get a wrongful death lawsuit from a grieving husband tossed out of court because he signed up to Disney+ years earlier. His wife suffered a fatal allergic reaction at a Disney Springs restaurant but Disney insist that the husband agreed to arbitrate all

I was Today Years Old when I learned there’s a scientific term for shitty #cryoEM samples: merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sub…

Excited to share that I will be joining the #IMIB at the University of Würzburg Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg to start my own research group this September! Our goal is to understand RNA splicing regulation across substrates and different environments.

One of the worst cases of scientific fraud ever: >cardiologist fakes data showing better outcomes for patients who were given beta blockers before heart surgery >Europe changes its medical guidelines based on this research >turns out beta blockers increase risk of death by 27%

AI can be used to make convincing looking fake data. There is no way we can distinguish real from fake anymore. It is safe to assume that genAI has already resulted in many fake papers. Scientific publishing is not prepared for this.

Gosh I hope not, but we recently had our first case of paralytic polio in an unvaccinated young man in NY + polio detected in the wastewater. We have to explain to the American people how fragile our nation’s vaccine ecosystem is, placing bad actors in charge is not the way to go

I don't know why so many Americans have this idea that Germans all feel guilty about WWII. I don't know anyone my generation or even my parents' generation who feels this way. I think this is a story that Americans are telling themselves. What is true is that at least the

Well this is going to be an exciting new frontier of AI politics.

One of the great lies the big PBM industry tells us is that they are needed to negotiate lower prices. It's a lie. They negotiate rebates. Not prices. In fact, the big PBMs control more than 95pct of the rebate negotiations. Big brand Pharma companies can't negotiate with

Happy to share our latest work on the structure and assembly of holocentric kinetochores! Huge thanks to Ines for a very fruitful collaboration, Claudio for all the support, and congratulations to Christine and all co-authors! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just a little thread, out of my retreat, because this stock and its story has been important to me. Maybe a mini-victory lap as well, but with quite some general learnings overall, and hard ones. I have been long $ABVX since the disclosure of the POC data in UC in September 2018
