@KafsackLab This is what I am missing?!?! 😡😡

[Albert Rapp @rappa753]

Exporting ggplots without worrying about size issues? That's easy with the {camcorder} package!

Call gg_record() when you start visualizing and ALL plots are exported. Nothing changes when you're finished.

With the new academic year starting, and many people beginning fresh as graduate students, post-docs, or junior faculty, I have been thinking a lot about the core philosophies that govern my own perspectives on science. So I thought I would share.

Not everyone knows that Paul McCartney wrote "Band on the Run" about a Western blot

Using MRA to clear mycoplasma from cultures of apicomplexans because all other products kill the apicoplast? Our summer student Darlene Malave-Ramos from @uprm & @Molecular_Kit found you can safely use Sparfloxacin, which is 20,000x cheaper. https://t.co/KUnz8t5fco

New R21 on identifying novel drug targets is getting funded! Excited to be working with @JacobGeri1 here at @WeillCornell

Our preprint on metabolic regulation of sexual commitment in malaria parasites is now available https://t.co/zsCG6fSKkL. Great collaboration by @ChantalTHarris and others in my lab with @rheelab @DeitschKirk @MariaMMota2.

Last year we presented #AlphaFold v2 which predicts 3D structures of proteins down to atomic accuracy. Today we’re proud to share the methods in @Nature w/open source code. Excited to see the research this enables. More very soon!

Brief update on some exciting progress on #AlphaFold! We’ve been heads down working flat out on our full methods paper (currently under review) with accompanying open source code and on providing broad free access to AlphaFold for the scientific community. More very soon!

. @mansell_p and I knocked out the cilia-producing gene and you can tell by the bottom right of the Paramecium caudautum!!!

One of my biggest challenges in the startup journey was un-busying myself.

It felt good to always be scheduled and on calls, because I was being “productive” but it was a bad use of time.

Founders need to go for walks and stare at walls. Serendipity leads to breakthroughs.
