@oznova_ I stared at these for a while to see if they looked like reasonable conformations. Decided that they were before I saw your follow up post. It’s nice that I can still recognise them.

The 3-decade-old competition that enabled the emergence and evaluate of AlphaFold has run out of NIH funding.

The program will be terminated in weeks.

This is terminating success.

Antagonizing the Danes simply invites raids on our ports, fishing villages, and coastal monasteries. It's just bad policy.

Motoo Kimura, one of the most influential evolutionary biologists, passed away 30 years ago today. Today would also have been his 100th birthday. Best known for his neutral theory, he also made many other significant contributions to theoretical population genetics.

🚨 The Whelan lab is hiring! 🚨 We are looking for a PDRA to join our lab at U of Manchester. We & collab @Mata_Lab are seeking someone interested in interdisciplinary techniques to est a hydrogel biofilm model to study microbe-pathogen interactions

@dannagifford See your former lab members doing well is the best.

@klausenhauser An elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

First gig in years. Played guitar and harmonica to an audience of approx 100. Nervous and didn't play my best, but met with smiles and applause. Full disclosure: it was to @StThomasHeaton school, average audience age of 5. Definitely still counts.

Look after your mental health as best you can.

[Simon Lovell's lab @lovelllab]

Today I started a session with a new therapist to deal with my long-running problem with depression.
Him: You say you feel like you're not good at your job, but you don't have external evidence.
Me: I've just got a grant review - 3 pages of an expert...

@whelanfj Excellent news. Welcome Fiona.

@SluskyLab @RolandDunbrack Nice choice of paper.

A great talk about #DDMut deep learning algorithm for the effect of mutations on protein stability, was given today by @YunzhuoZhou at #ISMBECCB2023! Very interesting work! 👏

[Simon Lovell's lab @lovelllab]

Great to see an ex-phd student do such great work and present it with such clarity and authority.

[Simon Lovell's lab @lovelllab]

Fantastic talk by @ShaunKandathil any #ISMBECCB2023 Real world uses of alphafold.

[Simon Lovell's lab @lovelllab]

Fantastic, and thanks to Geert and colleague. It’s hugely frustrating that attendees have to do this though.

[Geert van Geest @geertvangeest]

@larsjuhljensen @JasonWilliamsNY Awesome, thanks a lot! I guess there's a need.. My colleague made this one with time slots by row: https://t.co/1XJrZZq0CA

[Simon Lovell's lab @lovelllab]

This is great and thanks Lars. BUT why is this needed? Why did the organisers present the programme info in such an unusable format?

[Lars Juhl Jensen @larsjuhljensen]

Oops I did it again: A single, searchable, sortable, spreadsheet of all presentations at #ISMBECCB2023 https://t.co/106jgmmcIP
Have fun planning your conference!
