@goberbrunner @EliotJacobson Let me check this -- I go by day-of-year, not specific date, so leap year would introduce an ambiguity.

This is dangerous: https://t.co/80rEgGj9ap Florida schools can now show Prager "University" climate-denial videos in the classroom. Really extreme anti-science right wing propaganda. For more on PragerU funding sources & content, see their Wikipedia article.

OpenFX, the open source visual effects plug-in standard I help manage, is joining the Academy Software Foundation. I will be speaking about it at SIGGRAPH today from 11:20 to noon PDT during the Open Source Days. If you're there, please come say hi! https://t.co/U5HhOMti53

How fun is this?!!!

[David S. Goodsell 🏳️‍🌈 @dsgoodsell]

Just put a few new paintings @buildmodels: myoglobin packed into a whale muscle cell and a rework of the extracellular matrix painting from my book (both for the PDB50 celebration), and a red blood cell membrane and cytoskeleton. They're available at: https://t.co/lUPHWigjT3

[Dark Star Systems @DarkStarSystems]

Happy to announce the latest version of #BioVizStudio now supports volumetric data! Import density volumes, create isosurfaces, mix w/ structure/PDB data, & many other enhancements too. Try it out at https://t.co/hXc2QqaYiX

@AskTessellation PC. 32-core, plenty of RAM, plus dual GPUs for big data CUDA jobs. No Mac can come close. And run WSL2 with full Linux+X11 for web dev on the same partition.

[David S. Goodsell 🏳️‍🌈 @dsgoodsell]

This is the last week to enter the 2021 CellPAINT contest--we're looking for images related to vaccines, and images to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the PDB. More information @buildmodels at: https://t.co/P2P7yQ43vG Hope to see some artwork from you!

Testing BioViz Studio with the structure of ferritin (PDB: 3RGD).... #bioviz #biovizstudio #scicomm #SciArt #structuralbiology #DarkStarSystems

Great tool... Easy to use and very convenient

One protein for two microscopies!
Here an animation of a very special protein, miniSOG. It produces fluorescence and singlet oxygen allowing correlative light and electron microscopy.

Nice animation tool @DarkStarSystems!
