First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that.

This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

We have made RFdiffusion free and open source for everyone! Please go check out the GitHub, and the Google Colab! And have fun designing with it!!

[Joseph Watson @_JosephWatson]

We’re really excited to announce that we’re releasing code for running RFdiffusion! The code is released under an open source license and is free for anyone to use.

New preprint! We came up with 2 methods to design de novo scaffold proteins to hold arbitrary functional motifs: hallucination (optimizing a seq against predictions of RoseTTAFold (RF)) and inpainting (recover masked regions of seq+struc.) 1/n https://t.co/bb0fTELr28
