meminisse (to remember): a thread

[Oded Rechavi @OdedRechavi]

A PhD's success depends more on the fit between the student, the advisor, and the lab than on the specific topic being studied (it barely matters at all).

Similarly, a lab's success depends more on how excited (or miserable) its researchers are than on the precise project they are working on (it could be virtually anything).

This information isn't in papers or in grant proposals, you have to ask the researchers.

[Florent Waltz @FlorentWaltz]

You want to start tomography? Solve structures inside cells? Reach Nyquist😳?
We have a website for you! https://t.co/ulvbbhEY6d
You'll find a tutorial on how to reconstruct tomograms, pick particles and do subtomo averaging, using different software!
Hope it will be useful !

It is a great honour to invite you to a symposium to celebrate the career of Mark Carrington. An exciting set of talks for anyone fascinated by trypanosomes!

@VernCarruthers and I had a great time writing this review pondering the versatility of key adaptations common to #apicomplexans, #dinoflagellates and other myzozoans that have made this group so prolific and successful. (1/3)

Niels Weidemann edited a volume of Methods in Enzymology on mitochondrial import. I was honoured to write a review about yeast genetics together with Maya Schuldiner! I hope it will be useful.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins.

In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

Have a look at the first complete Trypanosoma in vitro cell atlas: https://t.co/9j5PjEZ7GM. T. cruzi is a weird parasite, the genome a mess, transmitted by the "kissing bug" although it poohs on your eyelid and we are still missing good drugs. Maybe our work can make a difference

Happy to share our little discovery with @SimoneMattei19 team on how ribosomes hibernate upside down on mitochondria during cellular stress is now out @NatureComms! A collaboration between @medicineUVA, @EMBL, @EmblImaging, MEMC. Congrats to all authors! https://t.co/DE6eAamt5I

Here’s our human protein-protein interactome. We mined the SRA, devised a new distillation dataset for protein complexes, trained a new version of RF2 to screen millions of protein pairs, and identify > 18k binary interactions. https://t.co/rfEOJIlW1x
