Our work on improving scientific conferences has been published. We assessed 270 in-person conferences and noted that many were lacking in sustainability, inclusivity and accessibility. We believe that a switch to virtual formats is crucial for science🧵👇🏼 https://t.co/2eyyESMFbf

Our lab is looking for curious and creative PhD candidates from any area of biology, physics, chemistry. math, or computational science who are interested in figuring out how the brain produces social fear and aggression. Deadline: October 14. https://t.co/15Z2gfC03K

Wonderfully honored to receive this award! Just the fact that @embo have this award feels like validation, let alone winning it! A heartfelt thank you, as well to all the colleagues along the path, and so excited for what's to come.

AlphaFold3 is out with improvements on structural models that include DNA/RNA and small molecules. Unfortunately, there is no code, no binary to run at scale and only a limited webserver. Why even publish? https://t.co/SPn6sBeunU

Yikes can't believe IOCB hired Sabatini. Also what about all the image duplications in papers from his lab 🙃

Today @WilliamJRipple et al released the 2023 report on the terrifying state of our #climate.

It should be read by every policymaker, decisionmaker, and journalist on the planet.

Here is a thread of some key takeaways.

BREAKING NEWS
The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

I've seen snippets of this talk and it’s going to be incredible! Don’t miss it 🌝

[Samuel Pazicky @PazickySamuel]

Nervous but also excited to be the first speaker at the opening plenary session at #mpm2023 ! Don’t be late for my talk on the dynamic universe of protein complexes in malaria parasites!

[Shyam Prabhakar Lab @shyam_lab]

Administrators: if you're thinking of remodeling your department/institute's workspace, please read this first. Like tight jeans a few years ago, open office spaces are trendy but uncomfortable.

me, drunk and leaving the club without my friends at 11pm: i am sorry to be resigning under these circumstances

[Navin B. Ramakrishna @NavinBrian]

Great to have penned this @preLights piece together with @SeahSamantha and Zhang Hui Ting @astar_gis
in March this year on the heritability of DNA methylation across cell division. Now updated with comments from the preprint's 1st author Amir Hay and team! https://t.co/LBbH56870J

[Dr. Samantha Seah @SeahSamantha]

@Dey_Gautam Congrats!!! And it means you’ve hired a bunch of amazing folks 😊

[Luke 💙💜 @AngMohSnowball]

this r/sg post has got it spot on. you know a country is hell when the sentence "I could never find it in my conscience to subject a person to the life here" resonates with you the hardest. https://t.co/qq2azKGgdI

[Dr. Samantha Seah @SeahSamantha]

Just received a diversity and inclusion related email, which is nice... But it would be nicer if it didn't feature six high-ranking individuals, who are all men 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Maurice_Y_Lee This cannot be acceptable behaviour anywhere 😰
