A quick shout out to Christine Zardecki, the mastermind behind the outreach/education effort of @buildmodels . Thanks for making my entire tenure at the RCSB PDB so enjoyable!
@jackcschultz@ScienceYael Agreed, and glad for professional societies that faciliate (@ASBMB), even if institutions don't.
This said, big fan of the neighborhood BBQ, sideline time for kids' sports, as the informal way for our neighbors to learn who scientists are, what we do, etc. in key ways.
"Being a first-generation college student, I’m excited by the idea of training and mentoring other first-generation students and taking on this important responsibility." —Prof. @Frances84469032 Get to know SBI's new member & her critical area of research. https://t.co/ALW9NZDv8k
With deep sorrow, we share the passing of Prof. Anil Kumar, a pioneer in NMR and visionary in 2D NMR methodologies. His groundbreaking work, including studies in biomolecular NMR and quantum computing, left a profound mark on the MR community.

Unparalleled talent in this pool of Biophysical Society Fellows. Congratulations all!

With the passing of Alex Pines the world is a bit dimmer today. Alex was a great scientist, but even a greater mentsch. His generosity, empathy and "firgun" were contagious, and turned people from self-centered, into open and caring. May his memory be a blessing

I often hear folks say, “Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic.”
I want to make sure you understand this: Congress sent you a check. By the way, Joe Biden also sent you a check during the pandemic, just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession. The difference is that we didn’t put our names on it – because it wasn’t about feeding our egos or advancing our politics, it was about helping people.
So don’t be giving him credit for that. And don’t give him your vote, either. There’s only one candidate in this election who cares about you, and that’s Kamala Harris.
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
