When you email someone with the wrong name and they email you back with a signed name at the bottom (which is also their legal name, work ID name, everyting/everywhere name), but you still reply with the wrong name, don't expect a reply.

In biology, we all say, BLAST search, basic, easy, anyone can do. I will say it took me a full year to learn how to properly run a BLAST search in a meaningful way.

Trump Library Saga Takes Dark Turn: Where Did Millions in Funding Go? Four huge media conglomerates forked over $63 million in “settlements” earmarked for Trump’s presidential library. Democrats are trying to track that money—and the latest developments don’t inspire co...

SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

Anyone working on #protein #evolution or #orphan #pfam please hmu. DM here or google me and email me. I need advice, discussion, software testing?

One thing I learned in the Navy that I see less of in academics is, take care of your people first and your own career second. You'll find your own career will already be taken career of. When you're looking for a mentor, find the one that takes care of their people.

Where are my #mitochondria #tomography people and #nucleosome #structuralbiology people. Need new collabs and mentors ASAP. Repost please

FULLY FUNDED PhD - Visualising avian influenza virus tropism and co-infection in avian hosts at University of Glasgow on FindAPhD.com PhD Project - FULLY FUNDED PhD - Visualising avian influenza virus tropism and co-infection in avian hosts at University of Glasgow, listed on FindAPhD.com

Excited to advertise a fully funded PhD with @socialinfluenza.bsky.social investigating how influenza virus evolution differs between different avian hosts (and how this impacts pandemic potential). Joint between @pirbrightinst.bsky.social + @cvrinfo.bsky.social

People talking about unresolved internal "flexible" regions of a protein, but when its terminal all of the sudden they sing a different tune.. #disorder
As someone who loves to speculate in conversation, evidence based assertions, please!

I failed! I got an offer to stay in academics that sounds a lot more supportive. Also, found a day care that is more reliable and somehow doesn't cost my entire salary (but does prevent me from getting my #subaru, rn)
Coming back to #virology and maybe some #structbio

How many of you in #academic #science wish you had spent more time with your kids and would take a pay cut to get that time?

Artemis II Launch Live Updates: How and When to Watch NASA's Moon Mission Four astronauts — three Americans and one Canadian — are scheduled to launch at 6:24 p.m. Eastern on the first crewed journey to the moon since 1972. But they will not land there on this mission.

For the first time since 1972, NASA is sending astronauts to the moon. The mission, Artemis II, is scheduled to launch on Wednesday at 6:24 p.m. Eastern time.

Follow live updates.

I know its kind of niche, but I love those little plots for looking at orphan protein families and this makes it easier to edit and enhance them. Still some debugging I'm sure, but try it out and let me know!

Been working on some of my own figure making and made this little html tool to pull from InterPro API and enhance the sunburst plots. #evolution #taxonomy #biosky #genome #science #protein

Im going to be moving away from #academics over the next few months to focus on #family and chase new career goals. If you have some challenging single particle #cryoEM data and want some free #consulting or shoot it my way, I have a dual GPU workstation and wouldn't mind dabbling a bit on a puzzle.

Great day at NYSBC, thanks for having me! 😊 If anyone wants to try out the tutorial, here it is:

There are linked videos for each step in the PDF, or I have also prepared the whole thing as a .PPT with embedded videos (2.7GB):

I also built a similar tool after not being fully satisfied with jalview. I built it as a chimeraX plugin but never tested it enough to push! Love this community mindedness!

Analysis: Why the research money isn’t flowing from NSF and NIH White House review of agency spending plans for this year is causing delays

Wondering why NIH and NSF aren't making new grants? We explain what's happening at OMB. www.science.org/content/arti...

I think the #nuclear option is 100% on the table for this administration and no one at home will know until right before the blast and by that point there will already be ballistic nuclear weapons headed towards us or we will be in the most tense cold war for a very long time

I'm really excited about this meeting on epigenetic editing!

It was great to see you speak in person and not just read your thoughtful and extremely helpful insights on discussion forums and social media. These small proteins always intrigued me. I am always pushing how picking and parameters can really affect workflows and capitalizing on your priors.

@olibclarke.bsky.social at #ASBMB. the fan feels were real. The room was captivated in a noticeable way and the question line was quick to fill and it was as much a help hotline as it was a q/a line. Beautiful 🤌

Can we think of Molecular lattice as a population growth model under strain where the birth rate is the on rate and the death rate is the off rate and the maximum population is proportional to the strain on the system. We would need a logistical map based on seed areas for growth.

All together now, "Unfavorable does not mean unstable."
Thank you. That is all
