@Eric_Betzig This article might make sense, if there wouldn't be large rare earth deposits in the US already. But the US has pioneered their use and simply stopped producing them because it was cheaper in China...
Or in the (slightly modified) words of Megadeath:
À tout le monde,
à tous mes amis
J'aimais Twitter,
je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever tweet
I joined Twitter more than 10 years ago, when I started my lab in Munich. I really enjoyed the scientific content and discussions on the platform, but I feel that it has become politicised and degraded in unhelpful ways, so I will not actively post here for the time being.
Inspiring talks and science in a fantastic location: @S3IC_Conference in Paris! Really enjoyed myself, big thanks for @FrankVollmerLAB, Jerome Wenger & team for organizing! #S3IC2024
Fantastic visit to Gothenburg for the kick-off of our European project "MeChaNiSM" (Mechanical Characterization of Nucleic acids using Single Molecule techniques). Thanks to hosts @FWesterlund and @WilhelmssonLab! Great science and great group people!
Very excited about the Nobel for protein design for David Baker (who I was fortunate to collaborate with in the past) and Hassabis & Jumper for protein structure prediction (of which I am an amazed user...)!
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.”
Exciting science and wonderful colleagues at the 25th Anniversary Symposium of the SCMB group (and 60th of Alfons van Blaaderen)! @UniUtrecht@UUBeta

Excited about the to-the-point and insightful perspective on our coarse-grained DNA-protein modelling and classification work by @petr_sulc in @BiophysJ https://t.co/rXkZfP761i
Check out our work on modelling protein-mediated DNA compaction/condensation at a coarse-grained level and on classifying the resulting complexes, just out in @BiophysJ
