@angie_rasmussen I looked at that needle half an hour ago and am now depressed. Time to stop watching the returns and start watching Cabaret.

@angie_rasmussen Such worry was why I never pursued the tenure track, despite it being the career path I most wanted.

TIL that proteins are depicted as "ribbon-like" structures, with alpha helices as spirals and beta-sheets as arrows, because of Jane Richardson.

In 1981, Richardson hand-drew and -colored proteins for a research paper. Her style was later adopted by the protein science field.

@KlausOkken @viropractor @CellsigL Congratulations to Bart. I so enjoyed working with him on the Biochemical Journal.

The May release of DAQ-Score Database of protein structure validation for cryo-EM maps! Now analyzes over 200K protein chains in PDB determined via #cryoEM. Still, we see many potential errors in models. Check https://t.co/MmQzn1BJjk @PurdueScience

@BL_Balthaser Alas my Alma mater, but Indiana as a state sucks now. Anti-apartheid shanties once sat on the IU Union lawn for years. Now faculty worry about the impending law by @SpencerDeery allowing tenure revocation if “intellectual diversity” (ie, conservative) is deemed insufficient

Now is NOT the time to cutting back on infectious disease research, which is heavily supported by NIAID. https://t.co/tD5uOr3fnQ

[Rebecca Pompano @PompanoLab]

Details of House-proposed cuts for 2024 fiscal yr:
NIH 6.2% ⬇️
Including:
NIGMS 2.6% ⬇️
NCI 2.9% ⬇️
NIAID 22.9% !!⬇️

Worried? Call/email your House rep to let them know! The Senate budget included 2.4% ⬆️ for NIH, far preferable.

@matthewherper @SaskiaPopescu WTH? Do they not know the fatality rate of rabies in humans?

You can watch this hearing tomorrow at the link below. I challenge everyone—especially those who pride themselves on open mindedness—to watch & follow the evidence.

If we don’t speak up for these scientists, who will speak up for us when it’s our turn?

@Super70sSports And no need for drivers as big as croquet mallets to make old-fashioned golf balls go a long way.

I couldn’t make ⁦@SANDAG⁩ #BikeanywhereSD this year, but my husband did. ⁦@ljiresearch⁩ had a fantastic pit stop!

May we look to Serbia (and also Australia and Scotland) for another strategy to stop the bleed.

"The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy estimates it would cost just over $24 billion to have prototype vaccines ready for each of the 26 known viral families that cause human disease."

This is a huge bargain and it’s insane that we’re not fully funding it.
