@BJ_Greber @allostericstate This is all they'll give you

[Daniel Asarnow @dabiophysicist]

@allostericstate Manual selection of 5.3 million particles?

[Daniel Asarnow @dabiophysicist]

@KevinKaichuang That's true. I do think journals should take my PNGs not because they're smaller but because 20 MB will hold a bigger image

[Daniel Asarnow @dabiophysicist]

@KevinKaichuang Nicer for readers, too, they can zoom in to their heart's content

[Daniel Asarnow @dabiophysicist]

@KevinKaichuang Ah, FWIW exporting vector graphics from matplotlib and Prism, and image tracing everything appropriate really helps! It's more convenient, too, you can change plotting styles directly in your vector graphics editor.

@joelgombiner @AliNeitzelMD That's not true - the nucleic acid molecules isolated at the market are every bit as "physical" as hair or blood found at a crime scene

@ATinyGreenCell @gramnegativity It can't even *be* a salary in WA, not even for 3/4 of a year (there's a minimum). They should be advertising the hourly wage and maximum hours/week

[Daniel Asarnow @dabiophysicist]

@drugmonkeyblog Maybe so, but the House race in WA3 is polling as a dead heat

@Irakliseesu @Der_Parrot I preferred the Nova

[Daniel Asarnow @dabiophysicist]

@Irakliseesu @Der_Parrot I sort of remember replacing her iMac once, but maybe it was a neighboring office. These were the two vehicles available to student IT support staff (same model & year anyway)

[Daniel Asarnow @dabiophysicist]

@AmandaAskell Who knows, but current LLMs still suffer from relatively flat probability landscapes for scientific-sounding "facts" that compromise outputs. Maybe we biologists don't write enough down, maybe multi-modal training is still too weak, or maybe there IS more to intelligence...

@francoisfleuret When he says "only with the WPA...have new tables been computed" he's taking about this

@francoisfleuret I like Feynman's explanation that it's the operations, too - something instinctually satisfying about making a group

@ATinyGreenCell In 2012 my friends traced images of several hundred schistosomula on an old IBM touchscreen AIO PC for me, so I acknowledged them

As we celebrate the PDB, let's also remember the prolific but underrecognized structural biologists who contributed so much to our field, and to us personally as trainees. Scientists like @UCSF @UCSFBiophysics legend Janet Finer-Moore, with 125 depositions from 1987 to 2024! 🎉🥳

[rcsb pdb 💉🧬💻🔬💊🌱🧠🦠 @buildmodels]

Happy Birthday PDB, announced #OTD in 1971 In Nature New Biology.
Today we celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the Protein Data Bank and the PDB depositor community, and congratulate the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awardees

@ArmandDoma You're not wrong but IME when folks South of 16th were caught without fare on the T they were just bummed

@AkiyoshiKitaoka It stops if I defocus
