Roger Federer broke the internet with one statistic that will change how you see every setback in your life.
1,526 singles matches.
Won almost 80% of them.
20 Grand Slams. 103 titles.

Now answer honestly:
What percentage of total points do you think he won across his entire career?
70%? 65%? 60%?

Try … 54%.
He lost literally almost EVERY SECOND POINT he ever played for 24 years.

And still became one of the greatest of all time.

Watch him explain it himself (2:07 of pure life-changing wisdom):
“In tennis, perfection is impossible… When you lose every second point on average, you teach yourself to say:
‘Okay, I double-faulted — it’s only one point.’
‘Okay I got passed at the net — it’s only one point.’
Even a screaming overhead smash that ends up on SportsCenter Top 10… still just one point.

So when you’re playing your point, it has to be the most important thing in the world.
The moment it’s over — it’s behind you.

That mindset frees you to attack the next point, and the next, and the next with absolute intensity and clarity.”

Then he looked at the crowd and said the line that hit a billion people in the soul:
“The real sign of a champion is not that they win every point.
It’s that they lose again and again and again… and have learned how to deal with it.
Negative energy is wasted energy.
Cry it out if you have to. Then force a smile.
Move on. Be relentless. Adapt. Grow.
Work harder — and work smarter.”

Save this post.

The next time you lose a deal, bomb a presentation, get ghosted, miss a deadline, or just have “one of those days” — come back here and read it again.

You’re not falling behind.
You’re just in the 46%.
And the 46% is exactly where every single legend has spent most of their career.

Keep playing the next point.

Sharing our @CellCellPress preview on a recent @Nature study where Feng et al. resolved all of Mendel’s pea traits: yes, even the last 3 mysteries!

Structural variation turns out to be key.

1. Who was Trofim Lysenko?

🚜 A Soviet agronomist who rejected genetics and evolutionary biology.

🚨 He claimed crops could be “trained” to grow better - without needing selective breeding or genetics.

📢 Stalin loved it.

The problem? Lysenko was completely wrong.

Please spread the word. We're looking at recruiting a structural biologist (any level) @KamounLab to study plant-pathogen protein complexes especially in the context of coevolution.

Direct inquiries welcome.

Please include a cover letter.

This is like AlphaFold, but for protein localisation rather than folding

It's a deep learning model that predicts a protein's subcellular compartment based on its amino acid sequence alone:
