[1/3] Protein folding worked with ~250K PDB structures because the problem is degenerate. Most problems in nature aren't. Scaling laws hold broadly but the data doesn't exist yet. That's the infrastructure problem nobody is solving at scale. Evidence + links in thread 🧵

The Linus Pauling post doc program is an outstanding opportunity. Unbeatable salary and access to major resources at PNNL. Please, apply!

Please RT: BioSciences at Rice University invites applications for three tenure-track, assistant professor positions in the areas of synthetic biology, biophysics, and neuroscience. The link for the application can be found here: https://t.co/b3N7C4ZiJw

@ATinyGreenCell Actual FACS or just flow? If just flow, have had good experiences with Novocyte and Accuri C6. Run for years with minimal trouble. Of course need the right laser/filters pairs.

No better place to cut your #synbio teeth as a researcher or a mentor. 💯

2011

iGEM spins out of MIT as an independent non-profit organization.

Regional Jamborees were held in Americas, Europe & Asia.

165 Teams from 24 countries participated. @PvPBio, UWashington 2011, was acquired by Takeda for $330M.

Waiting for 30 min at the driving school for my 16 year old to take the written exam, sandwiched between two drivers who feel it’s necessary to idle their engines in 65 degree ☀️ with a pleasant breeze. Someone plz make it make sense.

@CommunistoObama @scottcarlinpt Pays to have a local relative and ask inventory the morning of a new shipment. They’ll hold for pick up. Escalate racers waiting for me for St. George Ironman 70.3 next week. 😁

@SynBio1 Me + E. coli + dissertation defense. 👀

@hsalis @SynBio1 Unless it’s a subtitle!

@BioDataGanache Nooo. Dead dead?

[Rob Egbert @rombrero]

@brandosm Morning has broken always bangs. Probably something great you can layer on top of that.

[Rob Egbert @rombrero]

@eggasalad @ChronicallyCait Wow - so much energy

[Rob Egbert @rombrero]

@BioDataGanache I'd say it depends on whether the software is front and center (this is a workflow we hope everyone will use), or just something they're posting for completeness (this is the analysis we did)

[Rob Egbert @rombrero]

@sargoshoe @commonwl Odd - does that mean you're under Research Supervision status? 🤪

[Rob Egbert @rombrero]

@oleg_sitsel @Intein @mpimoph @ScienceWriters @absw Fascinating! Looks uncannily similar to this synthetic self-destructive altruism system I created that uses stochastic differentiation. https://t.co/PIRdDlp7th
