A new board game review on my Instagram 😬

I had such a brilliant time chatting to @jon.inkle.co and @sagarberoshi.bsky.social about world-building from material details, building plausible deniability into your settings, and how players love to be historians so you may as well embrace it with your narrative design.

Give it a listen!

screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h • JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO: "When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory." "In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology." "And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far -

POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad

VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church??

POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

Nope they aren't. But we live in a world where people leave thier pets when they go on a holiday, so I'm not surprised that people don't want to do the effort when they move.

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

It’s done!! Molecular architecture of the ciliary base in mammalian multiciliated cells! A study 13 years in the making 👴, thanks to collab with @stearnslab.bsky.social + @centriolelab.bsky.social & visionary work by @computingcaitie.bsky.social, who integrated native #cryoET with #XLMS & #UExM 🧪🧶🧬🔬

Yay, it works.

Ohh yes. I have some friends that not sure if they should buy the game because of him.

Dear colleagues, With deep sadness I share the news that Andreas Engel passed away last Wednesday, at the age of 82, after a courageous fight against an aggressive caner. Only half a year ago, he was out hiking in the Italian mountains with his wife Barbara, walking 160 km in a single week. Andreas trained as a physicist in Bern, Switzerland, before heading to John Hopkins University in Baltimore for his postdoctoral work. He then led a research group at the Biozentrum in Basel, and in 1985 took on the role of a group leader in research and development at Ilford Ltd. in Fribourg, Switzerland. In 1987, he joined forces with his colleague Ueli Aebi to establish the Maurice E. Müller Institute at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel. Together, Ueli and Andreas served as professors for structural biology there for almost a quarter century, leaving a lasting mark on the field of structural biology as we know it today. Andreas Engel was a true pioneer. He was among the first to apply atomic force microscopy (AFM) with the tip operating under water, and one of the earliest researchers to perform 3D reconstructions using scanning transmission electron microscopy, achieving remarkable high-resolution maps of porin 2D crystals by STEM. He became a leading expert in membrane protein 2D crystallization, and his group played a key role in the determination of the first aquaporin structure, in collaboration with Peter Agre and Yoshinori Fujiyoshi. As he approached retirement from Basel, Andreas founded the Center for Cellular Imaging and NanoAnalytics (C-CINA) of the University of Basel, which in 2009 operated among others one of the very early Titan Krios instruments. From 2008 also held a professorship at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, followed by a position at TU Delft in the Netherlands in 2013. In 2020, he was among the founding members of CryoWrite, a company in Basel that he led as CEO until recently. His contributions to science, to the tools of str…

Sad news on the passing of Prof. Andreas Engel, a pioneer in the field of cryo-EM (shared with the 3DEM community by Henning Stahlberg).
Andreas' kindness, warmth, and enthusiasm for science and his colleagues will be missed.

Today we have a major milestone in the development of #GodfleshRPG -- the map for the setting is ready! The Cinderglow Basin is the part of the world of Thaal that we will explore in the game book, through chapter 1.

נו, מאז תחילת הממשלה זה רק עולה ועולה.

Awesomeness

שיהיה להם בהצלחה.

Which is bad?

חשבתי שהדר' שלך זה ימי הביניים וכאלו.

Don't get me wrong. I hate the CNS chase, and it made me laugh to see how some PIs are so excited to present people with the full CNS publication. I agree with you that people should be happy and support their postdocs to get publications and not just CNS. Everyone will win in the end.

It'll be amazing if it work. The change need to come from the academia. As long as career progress is attached to publications in CNS it'll be hard.

Two archaeologists stand in a trench looking at an unearthed, fossilised, time machine and a tyrannosaurus skull in whose jaws is a human skeleton holding an aerosol can. One says: “These fossils would appear to suggest that, while Professor Cooper's time machine was a great success, his dinosaur repellent formula was not.”

אבל זה תמיד היה ככה. גם מאז שאני הייתי קטן לא הזמינו את כולם. משלל סיבות. גודל דירה, כסף זמין להורים, דרגות חברות.

כשאני לא הוזמנתי, ההורים שלי הסבירו לי למה לא. וזהו.

Nope, today 😅

The green one is amazing.
