PDB101: Register for the April 30 CodeBMB Webinar for Beginners PDB-101: Training, Outreach, and Education portal of RCSB PDB

April 30: Join us for an introduction to a pedagogical foundation for coding
- Understand how coding can contribute to student learning
- Recognize and write basic Python scripts
- Open and modify existing Colab notebooks to use in their courses.

65 years after Peter Mitchell’s chemiosmotic theory, we report an association between ATP synthase and the electron transport chain. In the preprint led by @longzhou88.bsky.social, we describe a large supercomplex and show how the supramolecular organization contribute to oxidative phosphorylation 🧵

Finally published at long last (at least in the pre-view version). Explore the wild and woolly world of archaeal histones! Interactive archaeal histone graph incluced rdcu.be/fdFjv. Congratulations to first author Shawn Laursen

Wow, this is amazing work! I love seeing elegant explanation of processes I had to memorize as chemical reaction. Best luck with the review process!

1/ Excited to share our preprint! 🥳

Degradation of aromatic compounds, including BTEX pollutants, requires highly endergonic aromatic ring reduction. Using #cryoEM and in situ #cryoET, we show how BCRII couples electron bifurcation modules in one giant redox machine

Why Abstinence-Only Sex Education is a Bad Metaphor for Generative AI Refusal Maggie Fernandes, University of Arkansas Image by Yasmin Dwiputri & Data Hazards Projecto on Better Images of AI If I’m being honest, nothing in the conversation about generative AI and ed…

> While people often misconstrue generative AI refusal as an ignorant, avoidant, fear-driven position, generative AI refusal builds on accurate research about the various ethical harms associated with generative AI, as well as disciplinary principles in writing studies.

Diagram of shoulder anatomy, but both the anatomy and the labels are wrong and very obviously AI-generated.

There are so many no-good, terribly bad, wrong, AI-generated anatomical diagrams out there. Here's one I found on the website of an actual clinic in Minnesota. Yikes. Be careful out there.

Sources: White House to propose 20 percent cut to NIH funding The White House is expected to ask Congress to cut National Institutes of Health spending by 20 percent in the president’s fiscal 2027 budget request, according to multiple sources with knowledge of t...

A 20% budget cut atop multiyear funding-induced cuts to research and direct terminations of projects underway will further degrade American leadership in science.

This is early news & not even a proposal or appropriations - precisely the reason to speak out now.

1) The Herzik lab is excited to announce our newest preprint in collaboration with the Grotjahn lab! We have developed a surfactant cocktail that seeks to overcome one of the more nefarious problems in #cryoEM, Air-water interface (AWI)-induced damage and preferred orientation (PO).

I am quite fond of the "I will not read synthetic text" principle. Not that I necessarily follow it. But because we have a right to assert such a choice. And it is good to remind people that because they had a machine write it others can refuse to read it.

What the fuck is Kennedy and Trump doing with the COVID-19? Their press conferences now look like tabloid releases. What are scientists in the US doing? I feel so sad for you. 🧪

Russia actively used the civilian infrastructure of Belarus, in particular cell towers, to lay routes of drones.

This allowed them to provide a stable signal and attack targets located on the northern and western borders of Ukraine. They even flew into the territory of NATO countries, no accident.

🇺🇦💻 Ukrainian hackers have been secretly monitoring Russian UAV operators for over six months and have discovered how Russia is using the territory of Belarus, — InformNapalm.

They managed to hack accounts of Russian military and gain access to the monitoring systems used by drone operators.

I’m happy to share the main result of my PhD, which you can find on bioRxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... If you are interested in learning about a new way to perform DNA-PAINT multiplexing, which we call Combi-PAINT, or if you are interested in the study of mRNA conformation, keep reading! 1/10

We’re excited to share our latest preprint on the mechanism of excised linear intron stabilization in yeast! This work was led by PhD student @glennli.bsky.social and was a wonderful collaboration with @maxewilkinson.bsky.social. Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... (1/4)

Just shifted the view to the left from the original image or vice versa.

Marburg: soon to be my new home (at least for a few years). Is it any wonder I’m going there? So much great microbiology, past and present

This year (I mean previous), thanks to do amazing comments, I was allowed to continue in research by my PI and thanks to that, I have a publication and an opportunity to finish PhD. Maybe wind of change? 🥳 congratulations 🥂

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

I have to say, between writing a thesis and running experiments, I would rather be back in the lab 🥼 #phd

This just popped up on my feed, what the heck is accidentally incestuous. And am I missing something? 🫣😂
