"Anyone can go into a lab and make a discovery and that discovery could change the world."

- this year's chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born to a family of refugees, with parents who could barely read or write. He believes science offers an opportunity for anyone to make a difference.

Watch live on 10 December when Yaghi will be awarded the Nobel Prize alongside his fellow 2025 laureates: https://t.co/D7fNn2Kc8s

“Do something that you’re obsessed with, that you just have to understand, because that’s where the joy comes from, and that also, I think, is where the great discoveries come from,” said medicine laureate Linda Buck.

[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

Scientific talks fail for the same reason papers do:
The speaker never asked two fundamental questions:

1. What exactly am I trying to say?
2. Who am I saying it to?

Answer these before you write a single slide.

And it's a wrap for our "AI in Biophysics" @iiscbangalore !! We had 2 days of great talks, interactions and lots of new learning! Thanks to all the delegates, speakers, student volunteers, staff and my awesome colleagues @MBU_IISc who made this a meeting to remember. 😊Cheers!!

New paper alert🚨 @JCellBiol https://t.co/oA2XM5RATP
We show that the cortical pool of LIN-5/GPR-1/2 complexes facilitates the timely accumulation of contractile ring components at cleavage furrow onset and the midbody, thus supporting multiple steps of cytokinesis.

@Sci_Lipi Congratulations to Dr. Deepanshi and to the PhD guide, Dr. Lipi

[Lipi Thukral @Sci_Lipi]

Happy to have a brand new Dr. minted from LT lab! Congratulations Dr. Deepanshi Gahlot!! She is a thinker in the lab and I really enjoyed witnessing her research journey on engineered LC3 protein in autophagy (work coming out soon!!)

AlphaFold2 was built to predict a single structure, but it seems to be hiding an ensemble 😅

AF2χ mines internal χ-angle signals to predict side-chain flexibility with MD-level accuracy

IMHO, they really bury the lede here, finding (in the supplemental figures) that AF2χ is up to 🔥1,000x faster🔥than MD simulations

@smnlssn Thanks for sharing

[Simon Olsson @smnlssn]

Check out cool new work from our group in collaboration with Pfizer and AstraZeneca, lead by Julian Cremer and Ross Irwin on FLOWR, a flow-based ligand generation approach, and highly sanitized benchmark dataset, SPINDR, for the SBDD community!
